Let $A$ be non-singular $ntimes n$ complex matrices and $x$ be negative eigenvalue of $Aoverline{A}$. Show that algebraic multiplicity of $x$ is even number.



I show that the $det(Aoverline{A})>0$ so numbers of negative eigenvalue is even
. But I stuck to prove algebraic multiplicity of $x$ is even number.

$textbf{Proposition.}$ If $Ain M_n(mathbb{C})$ and $lambdain spectrum(Aoverline{A})cap (-infty,0)$, then $lambda$ has an even algebraic multiplicity.



$textbf{Proof}.$ The key is: "there are $Sin GL_n(mathbb{C}),Rin M_n(mathbb{R})$ s.t. $A=S{Roverline{S}};^{-1}$" (Corollary 4.6.15 in Matrix Analysis by Horn,Johnson, cited by user1551 -who has good readings-).



Then $Aoverline{A}=SR^2S^{-1}$ and $spectrum(Aoverline{A})={mu^2;muin spectrum(R)}$ (equality of lists).



Thus $pm isqrt{-lambda}$ are eigenvalues of the real matrix $R$; since they have same multiplicity, $lambda$ has even algebraic multiplicity. $square$



$textbf{Remark}.$ That implies the famous result $det(I+Aoverline{A})geq 0$.



Indeed, $det(I+Aoverline{A})=det(I+R^2)=det((I+iR)(I-iR))$.
