Relationship between SVD and PCA. How to use SVD to perform PCA?
It is a symmetric matrix and so it can be diagonalized: $$\mathbf C = \mathbf V \mathbf L \mathbf V^\top,$$ where $\mathbf V$ is a matrix of eigenvectors (each column is an eigenvector) and $\mathbf L$ … is a diagonal matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ in the decreasing order on the diagonal. …

Is every correlation matrix positive definite?
The answers by @yoki and @MarkLStone (+1 to both) both point out that a population correlation matrix can have zero eigenvalues if variables are linearly related (such as e.g. … See Why is a sample covariance matrix singular when sample size is less than number of variables? and Why is the rank of covariance matrix at most $n-1$? …
