Networks are frequently studied algebraically through matrices. In this work, we show that networks may be studied in a more abstract level using results from the theory of matroids by establishing connections to networks by decomposition…

Let $\mathbb{A}$ be a Dedekind domain and $T$ an endomorphism of a finitely-generated projective $\mathbb{A}$-module. If $T$ is an $s^{th}$ power in $\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{A}}(M)$ for $s$ ranging over an infinite set $\mathcal{S}$ of…

For $n\ge 2$ and fixed $k\ge 1$, we study when a square matrix $A$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ can be decomposed as $T+N$ where $T$ is a torsion matrix and $N$ is a nilpotent matrix with $N^k=0$. For fields of prime characteristic,…

We investigate the problem asking when any square matrix whose entries lie in a finite field of characteristic 2 is decomposable into the sum of a diagonalizable matrix and a nilpotent matrix with index of nilpotency at most 2 and, as a…

Some of the classical results of Ramsey Theory can be naturally stated in terms of image partition regularity of matrices. There have been many significant results of image partition regular matrices as well as image partition regular…

Seymour's decomposition theorem is a hallmark result in matroid theory presenting a structural characterization of the class of regular matroids. Formalization of matroid theory faces many challenges, most importantly that only a limited…

We describe the primitive central idempotents of the group algebra over a number field of finite monomial groups. We give also a description of the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebra over a number field for finite strongly…

The theory of generalized inverses of matrices and operators is closely connected with projections, i.e., idempotent (bounded) linear transformations. We show that a similar situation occurs in any associative ring $\mathcal{R}$ with a unit…

Over a finite-dimensonal algbera $A$, simple $A$-modules that have projective dimension one have special properties. For example, Geigle-Lenzing studied them in connection to homological epimorphisms of rings, and they have also appeared in…

We propose and investigate a bi-infinite matrix approach to the multiplication and composition of formal Laurent series. We generalize the concept of Riordan matrix to this bi-infinite context, obtaining matrices that are not necessarily…

We investigate properties of the group inverse in rings with unit related to products and differences of idempotents, and thus we extend some results from \cite{DENG} to more general settings. We show that most part of \cite{DENG} is easily…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra and $\mathfrak{A}$ a two-sided idempotent ideal of $\Lambda$, that is, $\mathfrak{A}$ is the trace of a projective $\Lambda$-module $P$ in $\Lambda$. We consider the categories of finitely generated modules…

In this paper we introduce the notion of an idempotent system. This linear algebraic object is motivated by the structure of an association scheme. We focus on a family of idempotent systems, said to be symmetric. A symmetric idempotent…

For two matrices $A$ and $B$, and large $n$, we show that most products of $n$ factors of $e^{A/n}$ and $n$ factors of $e^{B/n}$ are close to $e^{A + B}$. This extends the Lie-Trotter formula. The elementary proof is based on the relation…

There is a family of constructions to produce orthomodular structures from modular lattices, lattices that are M and M*-symmetric, relation algebras, the idempotents of a ring, the direct product decompositions of a set or group or…

A classical result of topological algebra states that any compact left topological semigroup has an idempotent. We refine this by showing that any compact left topological left semiring has a common, i.e. additive and multiplicative…

In these notes we develop some basic theory of idempotents in monoidal categories. We introduce and study the notion of a pair of complementary idempotents in a triangulated monoidal category, as well as more general idempotent…

We study a certain family of finite-dimensional simple representations over quantum affine superalgebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras, the so-called fundamental representations: the denominators of rational $R$-matrices…

The idea of decomposing a matrix into a product of structured matrices such as triangular, orthogonal, diagonal matrices is a milestone of numerical computations. In this paper, we describe six new classes of matrix decompositions,…

We present matrices as graded BiHom-algebras and consider various characteristics of their decompositions. Specifically, we introduce a notion of connection in the support of the grading and use it to construct a family of canonical graded…
