We study a connection, via group representation theory, between the problem of describing the invariant factors of a product of two matrices over a principal ideal domain and the problem of describing the spectrum of a sum of two Hermitian matrices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
