We calculate the number of the isomorphism class of the finite flat models over the ring of integers of an absolutely ramified $p$-adic field of constant group schemes of rank two over finite fields, by counting the rational points of a…

Given three nonnegative integers $p,q,r$ and a finite field $F$, how many Hankel matrices $\left( x_{i+j}\right) _{0\leq i\leq p,\ 0\leq j\leq q}$ over $F$ have rank $\leq r$ ? This question is classical, and the answer ($q^{2r}$ when…

Given a tract $F$ in the sense of Baker and Bowler and a matrix $A$ with entries in $F$, we define several notions of rank for $A$. In this way, we are able to unify and find conceptually satisfying proofs for various results about ranks of…

Asymptotic tensor rank is notoriously difficult to determine. Indeed, determining its value for the $2\times 2$ matrix multiplication tensor would determine the matrix multiplication exponent, a long-standing open problem. On the other…

Complex valued systems with an indefinite matrix term arise in important applications such as for certain time-harmonic partial differential equations such as the Maxwell's equation and for the Helmholtz equation. Complex systems with…

We study which matrices are sums of idempotents over a field of non-zero characteristic; in particular, we prove that any such matrix, provided it is large enough, is actually a sum of five idempotents, and even of four when the field is a…

In this paper we give an algorithm to determine all finite matrix groups over a number field. Our algorithm is based on the representation theory of finite groups.

In this paper, we give a survey of the known results concerning the tensor rank of the multiplication in finite extensions of finite fields, enriched with some not published recent results as well as analyzes enhancing the qualitative…

In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix A in M to be finitely G-determined, where M is the ring of 2 x 2 matrices whose entries are formal power series over an infinite field, and G is a group acting on M by…

Suppose $\mathbb{F}$ is a field and let $\mathbf{a} := (a_1, a_2, \dotsc)$ be a sequence of non-zero elements in $\mathbb{F}$. For $\mathbf{a}_n := (a_1, \dotsc, a_n)$, we consider the family $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbf{a})$ of $n \times n$…

We present a new type of equivalence for representable matroids that uses the automorphisms of the underlying matroid. Two $r\times n$ matrices $A$ and $A'$ representing the same matroid $M$ over a field $F$ are {\it geometrically…

Let F be a perfect field. Then the diagonal quadratic form $a_iX_i^2$ over $F$ is universal over $M_2(F)$ if and only if atleast two of the $a_i$ are non-zero.

This paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we develop a general method for expressing ranks of matrix expressions that involve Moore-Penrose inverses, group inverses, Drazin inverses, as well as weighted Moore-Penrose inverses…

For each odd prime power q, and each integer k, we determine the sum of the k-th powers of all elements x in F_q for which both x and x+1 are squares in F_q^*. We also solve the analogous problem when one or both of x and x+1 is a…

A novel lower bound is introduced for the full rank probability of random finite field matrices, where a number of elements with known location are identically zero, and remaining elements are chosen independently of each other, uniformly…

In this paper, we first define a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form on Fq^4. Then we get an incidence matrix G of Fq^4 by the bilinear form. By its corresponding quadratic form Q, the lines of Fq^4 are classified as isotropic and…

A square matrix of order $n$ with $n\geq 2$ is called a \textit{permutative matrix} or permutative when all its rows (up to the first one) are permutations of precisely its first row. In this paper, the spectra of a class of permutative…

We show that the set of $n \times n$ complex symmetric matrix pencils of rank at most $r$ is the union of the closures of $\lfloor r/2\rfloor +1$ sets of matrix pencils with some, explicitly described, complete eigenstructures. As a…

Tensor type data are becoming important recently in various application fields. We determine a rank of a tensor T so that A+T is diagonalizable for a given 3-tensor A with 2 slices over the complex and real number field.

For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…
