A diophantine problem concerning third order matrices

Number Theory 2021-10-26 v1

Abstract

In this paper we find a third order unimodular matrix, none of whose entries is 11 or 1-1, such that when each entry of the matrix is replaced by its cube, the resulting matrix is also unimodular. Further, we find third order square integer matrices (aij)(a_{ij}), none of the integers aija_{ij} being 11 or 1-1, such that det(aij)=k\det{(a_{ij})}=k and det(aij3)=k3\det{(a_{ij}^3)}=k^3, where kk is a nonzero integer.
