The ϕ-conjugation of quaternionic matrices and generalized Autonne-Takagi factorization
Abstract
Let ϕ be a quaternion of modulus $1$. In this article, we study some topics related to ϕ-conjugation for quaternionic matrices, including ϕ-Hermitian matrices, ϕ-conjugate normal matrices, unitary ϕ-congruence and ϕ-HSH decomposition (decomposition of a ϕ-Hermitian matrix and a skew ϕ-Hermitian matrix). In particular, we generalize the Autonne-Takagi factorization of quaternion ϕ-Hermitian matrices for all unit quaternion ϕ. This gives an affirmative answer to a problem proposed by R. Horn and F. Zhang in the paper ``A generalization of the complex Autonne-Takagi factorization to quaternion matrices, Linear Multilinear A. 60: 1239--1244, 2012''.
