Abstract:
Let A be an n×n matrix with entries aij in the field C. We consider two involutive operations on these matrices: the matrix inverse I:A↦A−1 and the entry-wise or Hadamard inverse J:aij↦a−1ij. We study the algebraic dynamical system generated by iterations of the product J∘I. We construct the complete solution of this system for n⩽4. For n=4, it is obtained using an ansatz in theta functions. For n⩾5, the same ansatz gives partial solutions. They are described by integer linear transformations of the product of two identical complex tori. As a result, we obtain a dynamical system with mixing described by explicit formulas.
