On low-dimensional partial isometries

Abstract

Two statements concerning n-by-n partial isometries are being considered: (i) these matrices are generic, if unitarily irreducible, and (ii) if nilpotent, their numerical ranges are circular disks. Both statements hold for n≤ 4 but fail starting with n=5.
