Title: Recent matrix asymptotic results and their generalizations

Abstract: We will discuss some recent asymptotic results in matrix space and their extensions in Lie group, namely, (1) Beurling-Gelfand-Yamamoto's theorem and the generalization of Huang and Tam; (2) QR and Iwasawa asymptotic results of Huang and Tam, (3) Antezana-Pujals-Stojanoff convergence theorem on Aluthge iteration and the generalization of Tam and Thompson; (4) Rutishauer's LR algorithm and the generalization of Thompson and Tam; (5) Francis-Kublanovskaya's QR algorithm and the generalization of Holmes, Huang and Tam. These results are related to several important matrix decompositions, namely, SVD, QR, Gelfand-Naimark, Jordan and their counterparts namely, Cartan, Iwasawa, Bruhat, complete multiplicative Jordan decomposition.
