Let $-2+5i,\ 3i$ be two eigenvalues of a $5\times5$ skew symmetric matrix $A$. Find the other eigenvalues of $A$.
In a skew symmetric matrix the eigenvalues can be $0$ or pure imaginary.So I think the other 3 eigenvalues are $2-5i,-3i$ and $0$. But only orthogonal matrices can have its eigenvalues existing as complex conjugates in pair. Can someone help with the answer..
"In a skew symmetric matrix the eigenvalues can be 0 or pure imaginary."
I think this is only valid for real valued matrices.
