Hi everyone,

Please help me with this problem.

Suppose w be a n x n symmetric matrix and D be n x m matrix.

Let A=wDD`w.

Is it possible to write the matrix, AA`= (wDD`w)(wDD`w) as the kronecker product of any two matrices?

Thanks in advance.

Every matrix B is a Kronecker product X\otimes Y, where X=B and Y is 1x1 identity matrix.
 
Thanks a lot Arkazad. You are right. However, what I want is to multiply

(A kronecker product B) by (AA`), where B is also a n x n matrix. You observe that this is not even defined. I don't know may be this is impossible, because I can not change the dimension of AA`.

Any further idea?
 
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
