Reduction of a pair of skew-symmetric matrices to its canonical form under congruence

Let $(A,B)$ be a pair of skew-symmetric matrices over a field of characteristic not 2. Its regularization decomposition is a direct sum \[ (\underline{\underline A},\underline{\underline B})\oplus (A_1,B_1)\oplus\dots\oplus(A_t,B_t) \] that is congruent to $(A,B)$, in which $(\underline{\underline A},\underline{\underline B})$ is a pair of nonsingular matrices and $(A_1,B_1),$ $\dots,$ $(A_t,B_t)$ are singular indecomposable canonical pairs of skew-symmetric matrices under congruence. We give an algorithm that constructs a regularization decomposition. We also give a constructive proof of the known canonical form of $(A,B)$ under congruence over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 2.

Miniversal deformations of matrices under *congruence and reducing transformations

V.I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys 26(2) (1971) 29-43] constructed a miniversal deformation of a square complex matrix under similarity; that is, a simple normal form to which not only a given square matrix A but all matrices B close to it can be reduced by similarity transformations that smoothly depend on the entries of B. We give miniversal deformations of matrices of sesquilinear forms; that is, of square complex matrices under *congruence, and construct an analytic reducing transformation to a miniversal deformation. Analogous results for matrices under congruence were obtained by the authors in [Linear Algebra Appl. 436 (2012) 2670-2700].

Miniversal deformations of chains of linear mappings

V.I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys, 26 (no. 2), 1971, pp. 29-43] gave a miniversal deformation of matrices of linear operators; that is, a simple canonical form, to which not only a given square matrix A, but also the family of all matrices close to A, can be reduced by similarity transformations smoothly depending on the entries of matrices. We study miniversal deformations of quiver representations and obtain a miniversal deformation of matrices of chains of linear mappings.
