Proposition 21.9 Every Hessenberg matrix with positive Hessenberg complexity is identified by its Hessenberg type and characteristic polynomial.
Proof Let \( M = \left( {a}_{i, j}\right) \) be a Hessenberg matrix with positive Hessenberg complexity. The first \( n - 1 \) columns of \( \mathrm{M} \) are entirely defined by the Hessenberg type of \( M \) . The last column is uniquely defined from the characteristic polynomial of \( M \) ,\n\n\[ \n{x}^{n} + {c}_{n...

Let us examine the Hessenberg type \( \langle 0,1 \mid 1,0,2\rangle \) . The set of all matrices of this Hessenberg type is a two-parameter family with parameters \( m \) and \( n \) :
\[ H\left( {\langle 0,1 \mid 1,0,2\rangle }\right) = \left\{ {\left. {\left( \begin{array}{lll} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 1 \end{array}\right) + m\left( \begin{array}{lll} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right) + n\left( \begin{array}{lll} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{array}\right) }...

Example 21.22 Let us study an operator \( A \) with a Frobenius matrix \[ \left( \begin{array}{lll} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 3 \end{array}\right) \] This operator has one real and two complex conjugate eigenvalues. Therefore, the cone \( {\pi }_{ + } \) for \( A \) is a two-dimensional half-plane. In Fig. 21.2...
In Fig. 21.2b we show the cone \( {\pi }_{ + } \) . The invariant plane separates \( {\pi }_{ + } \) into two parts. The dots on \( {\pi }_{ + } \) are the \( \pi \) -integer points. The boundaries of the convex hulls in each part of \( {\pi }_{ + } \) are two factor-sails. One factor-sail is taken to another by the in...

Proposition 21.27 Consider \( A \in \mathrm{{SL}}\left( {n,\mathbb{Z}}\right) \) and let \( B \in \Xi \left( A\right) \) . Then for an arbitrary point \( v \) we have\n\n\[{\Delta }_{A}\left( v\right) = {\Delta }_{A}\left( {B\left( v\right) }\right)\]
Proof of Proposition 21.27 Since \( B \in \Xi \left( A\right) \), we have the equality \( {A}^{n}B\left( v\right) = \) \( B{A}^{n}\left( v\right) \) . Hence the parallelepiped \( P\left( {A, B\left( v\right) }\right) \) coincides with \( B\left( {P\left( {A, v}\right) }\right) \) . Since \( B \in \mathrm{{SL}}\left( {n...

Proposition 21.28 Let \( A \) be an \( \mathrm{{SL}}\left( {n,\mathbb{Z}}\right) \) operator whose characteristic polynomial has distinct roots. Then the MD-characteristic of \( A \) coincides with the absolute value of a form associated to \( A \) for a certain nonzero \( \alpha \) .
Proof Let us consider the formulas of the MD-characteristic of \( A \) in the eigenbasis. We assume that the coordinates in this eigenbasis are \( \left( {{t}_{1},\ldots ,{t}_{n}}\right) \) . Then for any vector \( v = \left( {{t}_{1},\ldots ,{t}_{n}}\right) \) we have\n\n\[ \n{A}^{j}\left( x\right) = \left( {{r}_{1}^{...
