Maximal Generalized Rank in Graphical Matrix Spaces

Abstract
In this note we prove two extensions of a recent combinatorial characterization due to Li, Qiao, Wigderson, Wigderson and Zhang (arXiv:2206.04815) of the maximal dimension of bounded rank subspaces of the graphical matrix space associated with a bipartite graph. Our first result shows that the above characterization remains valid for a wide class of generalized rank functions, including e.g. the permanental rank. Our second result extends the characterization to bounded rank subspaces of the graphical alternating matrix space associated with a general graph.
