I must be doing something wrong, trying to get eigenvectors for a rather small hermitean 64x64 matrix 'm' (it is listed at the end) When I try to do
sage: m.eigenvalues() sage departs into 'nirvana' and I have interupted the evaluation after several minutes When I do this in mathematica for the same matrix I get Eigenvalues[m] // Timing {1.5801, <-------------- !! {1/2 (2 + Sqrt[13]), 1/2 (2 + Sqrt[5]), 1/2 (2 + Sqrt[5]), 1/2 (2 + Sqrt[5]), -(3/2), -(3/2), -(3/2), -(3/2), -(3/2), -(3/ 2), -(3/2), 3/2, 1/4 (1 + Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 + Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 + Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 + Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 + Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 + Sqrt[17]), -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1/2 (2 - Sqrt[13]), 1/4 (1 - Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 - Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 - Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 - Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 - Sqrt[17]), 1/4 (1 - Sqrt[17]), -(1/2), -(1/2), -(1/2), 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 (2 - Sqrt[5]), 1/2 (2 - Sqrt[5]), 1/2 (2 - Sqrt[5]), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}} Any help?
