Normal matrix compressions
Abstract
The recently developed theory of higher--rank numerical ranges originated in problems of error correction in quantum information theory but its mathematical implications now include a quite satisfactory understanding of scalar compressions of complex matrices. Here our aim is to make some first steps in the more general program of understanding normal compressions. We establish some general principles for the program and make a detailed study of rank--two normal compressions.
