Let $AinmathbbR^ntimes n$ be a symmetric positive definite matrix. Assume that $A=Lcdot L^t$ for $LinmathbbC^ntimes m$. Can we infer that $L$ is intact real, i.e., has only real entries?

  • Note that we this does not hold one $A$ has not fall rank. For example $L=(2+I& 2-i)^t$ would yield a psd matrix, but the rank is not full.

  • Do you really mean to have transpose instead of conjugate transpose in your factorization of $A$?

Let $L=beginpmatrixi&sqrt 2\sqrt 2&-iendpmatrix$.
Then $LL'$ is the $2times2$ identity matrix.
