A \emph{rational orthogonal matrix} $Q$ is an orthogonal matrix with rational entries, and $Q$ is called \emph{regular} if each of its row sum equals one, i.e., $Qe = e$ where $e$ is the all-one vector. This paper presents a method for…
We prove conditions ensuring that a Lie ideal or an invariant additive subgroup in a ring contains all additive commutators. A crucial assumption is that the subgroup is fully noncentral, that is, its image in every quotient is noncentral.…
Given a ring $R$, we study the bimodules $M$ for which the trivial extension $R\propto M$ is morphic. We obtain a complete characterization in the case where $R$ is left perfect, and we prove that $R\propto Q/R$ is morphic when $R$ is a…
The work considers an equivalence relation in the set of all $n\times m$ matrices with entries in the set $[p]=\{ 0,1,\ldots , p-1 \}$. In each element of the factor-set generated by this relation, we define the concept of canonical matrix,…
In this article, we prove that in a PI-ring (or polynomial identity ring) $S$, for an element $A \in \mathbb{M}_m(S)$ if $A^n= A^{n+1}X$ for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $X \in \mathbb{M}_m(S)$, then there exists an element $Y\in…
This paper studies the unitary diagonalization of matrices over formal power series rings. Our main result shows that a normal matrix is unitarily diagonalizable if and only if its minimal polynomial completely splits over the ring and the…
We classify all cyclotomic matrices over real quadratic integer rings and we show that this classification is the same as classifying cyclotomic matrices over the compositum all real quadratic integer rings. Moreover, we enumerate a related…
Given a finite set of roots of unity, we show that all power sums are non-negative integers iff the set forms a group under multiplication. The main argument is purely combinatorial and states that for an arbitrary finite set system the…
Motivated by a problem of Halmos, we obtain a canonical decomposition for complex matrices which are unitarily equivalent to their transpose (UET). Surprisingly, the naive assertion that a matrix is UET if and only if it is unitarily…
A well-known theorem of Wedderburn asserts that a finite division ring is commutative. In a division ring the group of invertible elements is as large as possible. Here we will be particularly interested in the case where this group is as…
The standard theorem for regular stochastic matrices is generalized to matrices with no sign restriction on the entries. The condition that column sums be equal to 1 is kept, but the regularity condition is replaced by a condition on the…
We initiate the study of subgroups $H$ of the general linear group $GL_{\binom{n}{m}}(R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ that contain the $m$-th exterior power of an elementary group $\bigwedge^mE_n(R)$. Each such group $H$ corresponds to a…
Working in a variant of the intersection type assignment system of Coppo, Dezani-Ciancaglini and Venneri [1981], we prove several facts about sets of terms having a given intersection type. Our main result is that every strongly normalizing…
It is shown that a normalized complex Hadamard matrix of order $6$ having three distinct columns, each containing at least one $-1$ entry necessarily belongs to the transposed Fourier family, or to the family of $2$-circulant complex…
In this paper, we study the action of special $n\times n $ linear (resp. symplectic) matrices which are homotopic to identity on the right invertible $n\times m$ matrices. We also prove that the commutator subgroup of $\rm{O}_{2n}(R[X])$ is…
This paper provides the best bounds to date on the number of randomly sampled entries required to reconstruct an unknown low rank matrix. These results improve on prior work by Candes and Recht, Candes and Tao, and Keshavan, Montanari, and…
A necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of an infinite right product of matrices of the form | I B | A = | 0 C |, with (uniformly) contracting submatrices $C$, is proven.
The set of idempotents of a regular semigroup is given an abstract characterization as a regular biordered set in [2], and in [4] it is shown how a biordered set can be associated with a complemented modular lattice. Von Neumann has shown…
We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…
Orthogonal matrices which are linear combinations of permutation matrices have attracted enormous attention in quantum information and computation. In this paper, we provide a complete parametric characterization of all complex, real and…
