Hermitian matrices have a Jordan algebra structure given by `A * B := 2⁻¹ • (A.toMat * B.toMat + B.toMat * A.toMat)`. We call this operation `HermitianMat.symmMul`, but it's available as `*` multiplication scoped under `HermMul`. When `A` and `B` commute, this reduces to standard matrix multiplication.

definition

Symmetric product of Hermitian matrices 21(AB+BA)2^{-1}(AB + BA)

Given two Hermitian matrices AA and BB in the space HermitianMatd(k)\text{HermitianMat}_d(\mathbb{k}), the symmetric product ABA \cdot B is defined as the Jordan product: AB=12(AB+BA)A \cdot B = \frac{1}{2} (AB + BA) where ABAB and BABA denote standard matrix multiplication. The resulting matrix is also Hermitian.

theorem

Commutativity of the Symmetric Product of Hermitian Matrices

Let AA and BB be Hermitian matrices of dimension dd over the field k\mathbb{k}. The symmetric product (or Jordan product) \circ, defined by AB=12(AB+BA)A \circ B = \frac{1}{2}(AB + BA), is commutative, such that AB=BAA \circ B = B \circ A.

theorem

Let AA be a Hermitian matrix. The symmetric product of AA and the zero matrix, defined as A0=12(A0+0A)A \odot 0 = \frac{1}{2}(A0 + 0A), is equal to the zero matrix.

theorem

0A=00 \circ A = 0 for Hermitian matrices

Let AA be a Hermitian matrix. The symmetric product (Jordan product) of the zero matrix and AA, defined as 0A=21(0A+A0)0 \circ A = 2^{-1}(0 \cdot A + A \cdot 0), results in the zero matrix.

theorem

Matrix Representation of the Symmetric Product of Hermitian Matrices

Let AA and BB be Hermitian matrices of dimension dd over a field k\mathbb{k}. The matrix representation of their symmetric product ABA \cdot B (also known as the Jordan product) is given by: (AB)mat=21(AmatBmat+BmatAmat)(A \cdot B)_{\text{mat}} = 2^{-1} \cdot (A_{\text{mat}} B_{\text{mat}} + B_{\text{mat}} A_{\text{mat}}) where AmatA_{\text{mat}} and BmatB_{\text{mat}} are the underlying matrices of AA and BB respectively.

theorem

A.symmMulB=A.matB.matA.symmMul B = A.mat * B.mat if AA and BB commute

Let AA and BB be Hermitian matrices of dimension dd over a field k\mathbf{k}. If the underlying matrices of AA and BB commute (i.e., A.matB.mat=B.matA.matA.mat \cdot B.mat = B.mat \cdot A.mat), then their symmetric product ABA \circ B (defined as 21(A.matB.mat+B.matA.mat)2^{-1} (A.mat \cdot B.mat + B.mat \cdot A.mat)) has an underlying matrix equal to the standard matrix product A.matB.matA.mat \cdot B.mat.

theorem

Let AA be a Hermitian matrix. The symmetric multiplication (Jordan product) of the identity matrix II and AA, defined by IA=12(IA+AI)I \circ A = \frac{1}{2}(IA + AI), is equal to AA.

theorem

A(I)=AA \circ (-I) = -A for Hermitian matrices

For any Hermitian matrix AA, let AB=12(AB+BA)A \circ B = \frac{1}{2}(AB + BA) denote the symmetric product of Hermitian matrices. Then, the symmetric product of AA and the negative identity matrix I-I satisfies A(I)=AA \circ (-I) = -A.

Hermitian matrices form a Commutative Jordan Algebra under the symmetric product AB=12(AB+BA)A * B = \frac{1}{2}(AB + BA)

Let Hd(k)H_d(\mathbb{k}) be the space of d×dd \times d Hermitian matrices over a field k\mathbb{k}. When equipped with the symmetric product (also known as the Jordan product) defined by AB=12(AB+BA)A * B = \frac{1}{2}(AB + BA), the space Hd(k)H_d(\mathbb{k}) forms a commutative Jordan algebra.

For the set of Hermitian matrices of dimension dd over a field k\mathbb{k}, the Jordan product defined by AB=12(AB+BA)A \circ B = \frac{1}{2}(AB + BA) satisfies the properties of a `MulZeroOneClass`. This means the operation has a multiplicative identity element II such that IA=AI=AI \circ A = A \circ I = A, and a zero element 00 such that 0A=A0=00 \circ A = A \circ 0 = 0 for any Hermitian matrix AA.

Non-unital non-associative ring structure of Hermitian matrices under symmetric multiplication

The set of Hermitian matrices of dimension dd over a field k\mathbb{k}, denoted as HermitianMat(d,k)\text{HermitianMat}(d, \mathbb{k}), forms a non-unital non-associative ring. The multiplication operation in this structure is defined by the symmetric product AB=12(AB+BA)A * B = \frac{1}{2}(AB + BA), where ABAB and BABA are standard matrix multiplications. This structure satisfies the left and right distributive laws: A(B+C)=AB+ACA * (B + C) = A * B + A * C and (A+B)C=AC+BC(A + B) * C = A * C + B * C.

This structure satisfies the axioms of an additive abelian group and possesses a distributive, non-associative multiplication with a multiplicative identity (the identity matrix II).
