In case you're intersted I could port my Jacobi eigen value
routine to ublas. The method is not the most efficient but 
can be implemented in quite generic (templated) way.
However, In order to do this I would need some extension to
ubls, e.g. 'norm_type' , since the routine should honor the fact,
that eigenvalues of hermitean matrices are real.
In addition I could offer a sparse matrix diagonalization (Davidson
algorithm) which is at least as efficient as Lanczos, but has (almost) no
problems with degeneries.

I'll remind you.

The most important question for me is: is ublas mature enough
to use is in a new large scale number crunching project ?
