In this paper, we study the expanding phenomena in the setting of higher dimensional matrix rings. More precisely, we obtain a sum-product estimate for large subsets and show that x+yz, x(y+z) are moderate expanders over the matrix ring,…

We study some sum-product problems over matrix rings. Firstly, for $A, B, C\subseteq M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, we have $$ |A+BC|\gtrsim q^{n^2}, $$ whenever $|A||B||C|\gtrsim q^{3n^2-\frac{n+1}{2}}$. Secondly, if a set $A$ in $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$…

Recognizing when a ring is a complete matrix ring is of significant importance in algebra. It is well-known folklore that a ring $R$ is a complete $n\times n$ matrix ring, so $R\cong M_{n}(S)$ for some ring $S$, if and only if it contains a…

Given $A\subseteq GL_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$, we prove that there exist disjoint subsets $B, C\subseteq A$ such that $A = B \sqcup C$ and their additive and multiplicative energies satisfying \[ \max\{\,E_{+}(B),\, E_{\times}(C)\,\}\ll…

In this work and its sequel, we study the expanding phenomenon of matrices over a finite chain ring of large residue field. A sum-product estimate is proved. It is showed that $x+yz$ is a moderate expander on $n\times n$ matrices with…

We show that the set of algebraic extensions $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ in which $\mathbb{Z}$ or the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_F$ are definable is meager in the set of all algebraic extensions.

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be an arbitrary finite field of order $q$. In this article, we study $\det S$ for certain types of subsets $S$ in the ring $M_2(\mathbb F_q)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb F_q$. For $i\in \mathbb{F}_q$,…

Let $r > 0$ be an integer, let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q$ elements, and let $\mathcal{A}$ be a nonempty proper subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$. Moreover, let $\mathbf{M}$ be a random $m \times n$ rank-$r$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}_q$…

We will prove several expanders with exponent strictly greater than $2$. For any finite set $A \subset \mathbb R$, we prove the following six-variable expander results: \begin{align*} |(A-A)(A-A)(A-A)| &\gg…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$. In this paper, we study the distribution of rectangles in a given set in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. More precisely, for any $0<\delta\le 1$, we prove that there exists an integer $q_0=q_0(\delta)$…

Let $M_n(\mathbb{Z})$ the ring of $n$-by-$n$ matrices with integral entries, and $n \geq 2$. This paper studies the set $G_n(\mathbb{Z})$ of pairs $(A,B) \in M_n(\mathbb{Z})^2$ generating $M_n(\mathbb{Z})$ as a ring. We use several…

We prove a new extension result for $QB-$rings that allows us to examine extensions of rings where the ideal is purely infinite and simple. We then use this result to explore various constructions that provide new examples of $QB-$rings.…

In this paper the authors study set expansion in finite fields. Fourier analytic proofs are given for several results recently obtained by Solymosi, Vinh and Vu using spectral graph theory. In addition, several generalizations of these…

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…

Let $f=ax+x^{r(q-1)+1}\in \mathbb{F}_{q^2}^*[x], r\in \{5,7\}.$ We give explicit conditions on the values $(q,a)$ for which $f$ is a permutation polynomials of $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}.$

For arbitrary F-algebra, in which the operation of addition is defined, I explore biring of matrices of mappings. The sum of matrices is determined by the sum in F-algebra, and the product of matrices is determined by the product of…

Let $E \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^2$ be a set in the 2-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements, which satisfies $|E| > q$. There exist $x,y \in E$ such that $|E \cdot (y-x)| > q/2.$ In particular, $(E+E) \cdot (E-E) =…

A unimodular $2\times 2$ matrix with entries in a commutative $R$ is called extendable (resp.\ simply extendable) if it extends to an invertible $3\times 3$ matrix (resp.\ invertible $3\times 3$ matrix whose $(3,3)$ entry is $0$). We obtain…

In this paper, we use methods from spectral graph theory to obtain some results on the sum-product problem over finite valuation rings $\mathcal{R}$ of order $q^r$ which generalize recent results given by Hegyv\'ari and Hennecart (2013).…

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…
