Abstract

It is known that, if T is an n × n complex matrix such that every characteristic root of UT has modulus I for every n × n unitary matrix U then T must be unitary. This paper generalizes this result in two directions, one of which provides a proof of a 1971 conjecture of M. Marcus. An analogous self-duaiity result is given for hermitian matrices, and several additional results of self-duality type are given concerning hermitian matrices and real matrices, using the trace and the determinant.
