CANONICAL FORMS OF MATRICES DETERMINING ANALYTICAL MANIFOLDS

In this paper many classes of sets of matrices with entries in F (F is an element of {R, C, H}) are introduced. Each class with the corresponding topology determines real analytical, complex or symplectic manifold for F = R, F = C or F = H respectively. Any such family is called to be a set of canonical forms of matrices. The construction of such canonical forms of matrices is determined inductively. First basic canonical forms are studied, and then two operations for obtaining new canonical forms by using the old canonical forms are considered. All such manifolds have the property that each of them can be decomposed into cells which are Cartesian products of F (F is an element of {R, C, H}).
