Idempotent elements play a fundamental role in ring theory, as they encode significant information about the underlying algebraic structure. In this paper, we study idempotent matrices from two perspectives. First, we analyze the partially…

Following O'Meara's result [Journal of Algebra and Its Applications Vol~\textbf{13}, No. 8 (2014)], it follows that the block matrix $A=\begin{pmatrix} B & 0 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \in M_{n+r}(R)$, $B\in M_n(R)$, $r\ge 1$, over a von Neumann…

We consider the smallest subring $D$ of $\mathbb{R}(X)$ containing every element of the form $1/(1+x^2)$, with $x\in \mathbb{R}(X)$. $D$ is a Pr\"ufer domain called the minimal Dress ring of $\mathbb{R}(X)$. In this paper, addressing a…

We study the class of those linear relations that can be factorized as products of idempotent relations. We provide several characterizations of this class, extending known factorization results for operators to the more general setting of…

Let $D$ be the ring of integers of a quadratic number field $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{d}]$. We study the factorizations of $2 \times 2$ matrices over $D$ into idempotent factors. When $d < 0$ there exist singular matrices that do not admit…

Let $A_1,\ldots,A_s$ be unitary commutative rings which do not have non-trivial idempotents and let $A=A_1\oplus\cdots\oplus A_s$ be their direct sum. We describe all idempotents in the $2\times 2$ matrix ring $M_2(A[[X]])$ over the ring…

In 2020, Cossu and Zanardo raised a conjecture on the idempotent factorization on singular matrices in the form $\begin{pmatrix} p&z\\ \bar{z}&\sfrac{\lVert z\rVert}{p} \end{pmatrix},$ where $p$ is a prime integer which is irreducible but…

We study a ring containing a complete set of orthogonal idempotents as a generalized matrix ring via its Peirce decomposition. We focus on the case where some of the underlying bimodule homomorphisms are zero. Upper and lower triangular…

In this paper, we use the idempotent decomposition to give an explicit isomorphism from an arbitrary semisimple Artinian ring to an external direct sum of finitely many full matrix rings over division rings.

This article studies the equation $[A,B]^k = {\rm Id}_n$ for matrices over $\mathbb{C}$, characterizing the pairs $(k,n)$ for which solutions exist via a classical result of Lam and Leung on sums of roots of unity. The problem is next…

Motivated by Hirano-Tominaga's work \cite{HT} on rings for which every element is a sum of two idempotents and by de Seguins Pazzis's results \cite{de} on decomposing every matrix over a field of positive characteristic as a sum of…

Let $k = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\alpha})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $\alpha$ is a positive square-free integer. Let $\mathcal{O}_k$ be the ring of integers of $k$. In this paper, we prove that a certain set of $2 \times 2$ singular…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a field. A matrix $A$ of order $n \times n$ over $\mathscr{F}$ is a product of two nilpotent matrices if and only if it is singular, except if $A$ is a nonzero nilpotent matrix of order $2 \times 2$. This result was…

An algebraic investigation on bicomplex numbers is carried out here. Particularly matrices and linear maps defined on them are discussed. A new kind of cartesian product, referred to as an idempotent product, is introduced and studied. The…

In this paper, we develop an explicit method to express finite algebraic numbers (in particular, certain idempotents among them) in terms of linear recurrent sequences, and give applications to the characterization of the splitting primes…

We characterize the idempotent stable range one $2\times 2$ matrices over commutative rings and in particular, the integral matrices with this property. Several special cases and examples complete the subject.

A classical problem, that goes back to the 1960's, is to characterize the integral domains R satisfying the property (IDn): "every singular nxn matrix over R is a product of idempotent matrices". Significant results, which describe this…

In this article, we introduce the idempotentization process, which bears some philosophical and mathematical similarities with modern analytification and tropicalization. Idempotentization associates to any affine scheme an idempotent…

We extend Latimer and MacDuffee's theorem to a general commutative domain and apply this result to study similarity of matrices over integral rings of number fields. We also conjecture similarity over discrete valuation rings can be descent…

The book is devoted to investigation of arithmetic of the matrix rings over certain classes of commutative finitely generated principal ideals domains. We mainly concentrate on constructing of the matrix factorization theory. We reveal a…
