Title: Toeplitz Matrices, Symmetric Matrices, and Unitary Similarity

Abstract: In this talk, I will present the result that every Toeplitz matrix is uniformly unitarily similar to some complex symmetric matrices via a unitary matrix. Conversely, every symmetric matrix is unitarily similar to some Toeplitz matrix when \(n < 4\).   I will relate this result with the facts of every matrix is a product of some Toeplitz matrices, which was proved by Ye and Lim in 2015, and a super-fast divide-and-conquer method to make the eigenproblem of Toeplitz matrices with nearly linear complexity presented by Vogel et al. in 2016. I will also present that every multilevel Toeplitz matrix is unitarily similar to a symmetric matrix.
