We consider the canonical Wiener-Hopf factorisation of \(2 \times 2\) symmetric matrices \(\mathcal M\) with respect to a contour \(\Gamma \) . For the case where the quotient q of the two diagonal elements of \(\mathcal M\) is a rational function, we show that due to the symmetric nature of the matrix \(\mathcal {M}\) , the second column in each of the two matrix factors that arise in the factorisation is determined in terms of the first column in each of these matrix factors, by multiplication by a rational matrix, and we give a method for determining the second columns of these factors. We illustrate our method with two examples in the context of a Riemann-Hilbert approach to obtaining solutions to the Einstein field equations.

摘要

We consider the canonical Wiener-Hopf factorisation of \(2 \times 2\) symmetric matrices \(\mathcal M\) with respect to a contour \(\Gamma \) . For the case where the quotient q of the two diagonal elements of \(\mathcal M\) is a rational function, we show that due to the symmetric nature of the matrix \(\mathcal {M}\) , the second column in each of the two matrix factors that arise in the factorisation is determined in terms of the first column in each of these matrix factors, by multiplication by a rational matrix, and we give a method for determining the second columns of these factors. We illustrate our method with two examples in the context of a Riemann-Hilbert approach to obtaining solutions to the Einstein field equations.
