Let V be a Euclidean Jordan algebra of rank n. The eigenvalue map from V to R^n takes any element x in V to the vector of eigenvalues of x written in the decreasing order. A spectral set in V is the inverse image of a permutation set in R^n under the eigenvalue map. If the permutation set is also a convex cone, the spectral set is said to be a spectral cone. This paper deals with connectedness and arcwise connectedness properties of spectral sets. By relying on the result that in a simple Euclidean Jordan algebra, every eigenvalue orbit is arcwise connected, we show that if a permutation invariant set is connected (arcwise connected), then the corresponding spectral set is connected (respectively, arcwise connected). A related result is that in a simple Euclidean Jordan algebra, every pointed spectral cone is irreducible.
The commutation principle of Ramirez, Seeger, and Sossa proved in the setting of Euclidean Jordan algebras says that when the sum of a real valued function $h$ and a spectral function $Phi$ is minimized/maximized over a spectral set $E$, any local op
Motivated by Horns log-majorization (singular value) inequality $s(AB)underset{log}{prec} s(A)*s(B)$ and the related weak-majorization inequality $s(AB)underset{w}{prec} s(A)*s(B)$ for square complex matrices, we consider their Hermitian analogs $lam
Given a linear map $T$ on a Euclidean Jordan algebra of rank $n$, we consider the set of all nonnegative vectors $q$ in $R^n$ with decreasing components that satisfy the pointwise weak-majorization inequality $lambda(|T(x)|)underset{w}{prec}q*lambda(
We show that for every pair of matrices (S,P), having the closed symmetrized bidisc $Gamma$ as a spectral set, there is a one dimensional complex algebraic variety $Lambda$ in $Gamma$ such that for every matrix valued polynomial f, the norm of f(S,P)
We show that a natural notion of irreducibility implies connectedness in the Compact Quantum Group setting. We also investigate the converse implication and show it is related to Kaplanskys conjectures on group algebras.
