Let B be an n by n doubly substochastic matrix. We show that B can be written as a convex combination of no more than {\sigma}(B)+t subpermutation matrices, where {\sigma}(B) is the number of nonzero elements in B and t is the number of…

For $n\ge 5$, we prove that every $n\times n$ matrix $M=(a_{i,j})$ with entries in $\{-1,1\}$ and absolute discrepancy $|\mathrm{disc}(M)|=|\sum a_{i,j}|\le n$ contains a zero-sum square except for the split matrix (up to symmetries). Here,…

Let K denote a field. Given an arbitrary linear subspace V of M_n(K) of codimension lesser than n-1, a classical result states that V generates the K-algebra M_n(K). Here, we strengthen this in three ways: we show that M_n(K) is spanned by…

Given a matrix $M = (a_{i,j})$ a square is a $2 \times 2$ submatrix with entries $a_{i,j}$, $a_{i, j+s}$, $a_{i+s, j}$, $a_{i+s, j +s}$ for some $s \geq 1$, and a zero-sum square is a square where the entries sum to $0$. Recently,…

Here we prove the following result. Let $A = \{a_{ij}\}_{i,j\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a bounded operator. Then there exists a signing of $A$ such that $$||A\circ S||_2 < 2||A||_{l_\infty(l_2)},$$ where $A\circ S$ denotes the matrix generated by…

Let $A$ be a unital associative ring and let $T^{(k)}$ be the two-sided ideal of $A$ generated by all commutators $[a_1, a_2, \dots , a_k]$ $(a_i \in A)$ where $[a_1, a_2] = a_1 a_2 - a_2 a_1$, $[a_1, \dots , a_{k-1}, a_k] = \bigl[ [a_1,…

Let $A$ be a nonempty finite set of $k$ integers. Given a subset $B$ of $A$, the sum of all elements of $B$, denoted by $s(B)$, is called the subset sum of $B$. For a nonnegative integer $\alpha$ ($\leq k$), let \[\Sigma_{\alpha}…

For every $p\leq n$ positive integer we obtain the lower bound $(3-\frac{1}{p+1})n^2-\big(2\binom{2p}{p+1}-\binom{2p-2}{p-1}+2\big)n$ for the rank of the $n\times n$ matrix multiplication. This bound improves the previous one…

Let M and N be Orlicz functions. We establish some combinatorial inequalities and show that the product spaces l^n_M(l^n_N) are uniformly isomorphic to subspaces of L_1 if M and N are "separated" by a function t^r, 1<r<2.

For a positive integer $k$, let \[ \sigma_k(n)=\sum_{d\mid n} d^k \] be the divisor function of order $k$, and let $\nu_p(m)$ denote the $p$-adic valuation of an integer $m$. Motivated by recent work on the $p$-adic valuation of…

An $m \times (n+1)$ multiplicity matrix is a matrix $M = ( \mu_{i,j} )$ with rows enumerated by $i \in \{ 1,\ 2, \ldots, m \}$ and columns enumerated by $j \in \{ 0,1,\ldots, n \}$ whose coordinates are nonnegative integers satisfying the…

In this paper, we prove that an $n\times n$ matrix $A$ with independent centered subgaussian entries satisfies \[ s_{n+1-l}(A) \le C_1t \frac{l}{\sqrt{n}} \] with probability at least $1-\exp(-C_2tl)$. This yields $s_{n-l}(A) \sim…

Let A={a_s(mod n_s)}_{s=0}^k be a system of residue classes. With the help of cyclotomic fields we obtain a theorem which unifies several previously known results concerning system A. In particular, we show that if every integer lies in…
