Abstract

We prove a result on the existence of a common totally isotropic subspace for a pair of forms on V × V, where V is a finite dimensional space (real, complex, or quaternionic), and where one of the forms is hermitian while the other is skew-hermitian. Applications to algebraic matrix Riccati equations are given.
