Suppose that $M$ is an $mtimes m$ matrix.
Can we find the eigen values of the block matrix
beginequation
B=
beginbmatrix
-I&M\
M^T&-I
endbmatrix
endequation
in terms of the eigenvlaues of $M$?

  • You can use the Schur complement to relate the eigenvalues $neq -1$ of $B$ to the eigenvalues of $M^TM$ (or, equivalently, the singular values of $M$) which are not $0$. Also, $-1$ is an eigenvalue of $B$ if and only if $0$ is an eigenvalue of $M^TM$.

    When $M$ is a real square matrix, the eigenvalues of $B$ are $-1pm s_i$, where $s_1,ldots,s_n$ are the singular values of $M$. They are functions of singular values rather than eigenvalues of $M$.

You can relate the eigenvalues of $B$ to those of $M^TM$. First of all, we have
$$
(B-lambda)binom x y = binom 0 0quadLongleftrightarrowquad My = (1+lambda)xquadtextandquad M^Tx = (1+lambda)y.
$$
From here, it is quite elementary to show that $lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $B$ if and only if $(1+lambda)^2$ is an eigenvalue of $M^TM$. This also shows you that if $B$ has an eigenvalue $lambda$, then also $-2-lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $B$. That is, the eigenvalues of $B$ are symmetric with respect to the point $-1$.



Even if $M$ is square, you can in general not relate the eigenvalues of $B$ to those of $M$ (except the zero eigenvalue). Only if $M$ is symmetric and positive semi-definite, then $lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $B$ if and only if $|1+lambda|$ (i.e., the distance of $lambda$ to $-1$) is an eigenvalue of $M$.
