Abstract
Let Sn+=SâMnR:S2=I,Sn-=SâMnR:S2=-I, and let Sn=Sn+âªSn-. For SâSn, let ÏS:MnCâMnC be given by ÏSA=S-1ATS. An AâMnC is called ÏSsymmetric if ÏSA=A;A is called ÏSskew symmetric if ÏSA=-A; and A is called ÏSorthogonal if A is nonsingular and ÏSA=A-1. We say that A has a ÏSpolar decomposition if A=QT for some ÏS orthogonal QâMnC and some ÏS symmetric TâMnC. Let VS=AâMnC:ÏSÏSA=A. We show that every nonsingular AâVS has a ÏS polar decomposition. We determine conditions for which an AâMnC has a ÏS polar decomposition. We also determine the possible Jordan Canonical Forms of a ÏS orthogonal matrix and of a ÏS skew symmetric matrix.
