On the Linear Algebraic Monoids Associated to Congruence of Matrices

Himadri Mukherjee, Gunja Sachdeva

Abstract

This paper discusses the generalized congruence equation $X^tAX=B$, for $X \in M_n(k)$ over any field $k$, through the action of monoid $Sol_A \times Sol_B := \{X \ | \ X^tAX = A\} \times \{X \ | \ X^tBX = B\}$. We have completely characterized for what matrices $A$, the monoid $Sol_A$ is a Lie group. We have given the structure of the Lie group $Sol_A$ and $Sol_{A^2}$, and their Lie algebras when $A$ is $n \times n$ nilpotent matrix of nilpotency $n$. In this case, we have also proved that the invariants of $Sol_A$ for any $n$, and $Sol_{A^2}$ for $n$ even, are finitely generated.
