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.

Bhargava parametrized quintic rings over $\mathbb{Z}$ by quadruples of $5\times 5$ alternating matrices. We extend the construction to work similarly over any Dedekind domain $R$. No assumptions are needed on the characteristic of $R$. The…

A simple counting argument is used to show that for all $q$, an Andr\'e hyper-regulus $\mathbb X$ in $PG(5,q)$ has exactly two switching sets. Moreover, there are exactly $2(q^2+q+1)$ planes in $PG(5,q)$ that meet every plane of $\mathbb X$…

If $R\subseteq S$ is a ring extension of commutative unital rings, the poset $[R,S]$ of $R$-subalgebras of $S$ is called catenarian if it verifies the Jordan-H\"older property. This property has already been studied by Dobbs and Shapiro for…

Consider the special linear group of degree $2$ over an arbitrary finite field, acting on the full space of $2 \times 2$-matrices by transpose. We explicitly construct a generating set for the corresponding modular matrix invariant ring,…

We obtain bounds on the number of triples that determine a given pair of dot products arising in a vector space over a finite field or a module over the set of integers modulo a power of a prime. More precisely, given $E\subset \mathbb…

Let $f=a\x+\x^{3q-2}\in\Bbb F_{q^2}[\x]$, where $a\in\Bbb F_{q^2}^*$. We prove that $f$ is a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$ if and only if one of the following occurs: (i) $q=2^e$, $e$ odd, and $a^{\frac{q+1}3}$ is a primitive…

All known Moufang sets arise, in some way or another, from an algebraic structure which can be called `division' in some way. In this PhD dissertation, I made an attempt to develop a theory of local Moufang sets, which generalize Moufang…

Given a ring object $A$ in a symmetric monoidal category, we investigate what it means for the extension $\mathbb{1}\rightarrow A$ to be (quasi-)Galois. In particular, we define splitting ring extensions and examine how they occur.…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we use the relationship between suitable polynomials and number of rational points on algebraic curves to give the exact number of elements $a\in \mathbb F_q$ for…

In this paper, motivated by the work of Chapman, Vsemirnov and Sun et al., we investigate some arithmetic properties of the generalized Legendre matrices over finite fields. For example, letting $a_1,\cdots,a_{(q-1)/2}$ be all non-zero…

Matrix models are a promising candidate for a nonperturbative formulation of the superstring theory. It is possible to study how the standard model and other phenomenological models appear from the matrix model, and estimate the probability…

We show two results. First, a refinement of Freiman's theorem: if A is a finite set of integers and |A+A| < K|A|, then A is contained in a multidimensional progression of dimension at most O(K^{7/4} log^3K) and size at most exp(O(K^{7/4}…

Let $S$ be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic two and $R$ the integral closure of $S$ in a biquadratic extension of its quotient field obtained by adjoining roots of sufficiently general square free elements $f,g\in…

Let $\mathcal R$ be a finite valuation ring of order $q^r$ with $q$ a power of an odd prime number, and $\mathcal A$ be a set in $\mathcal R$. In this paper, we improve a recent result due to Yazici (2018) on a sum-product type problem.…

Let $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[T]$ be the polynomial ring over finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, and $\mathbb{A}_{+}$ be the set of monic polynomials in $\mathbb{A}$. In this paper, we show that a large class of arithmetic functions in…

We consider skew free extensions of rings, also known as free multivariate skew polynomial rings, and explore some of the algebraic aspects of this construction. We give different characterizations of such rings and present conditions for…

We show that if $A=\{a_1 < a_2 < \ldots < a_k\}$ is a set of real numbers such that the differences of the consecutive elements are distinct, then for and finite $B \subset \mathbb{R}$, $$|A+B|\gg |A|^{1/2}|B|.$$ The bound is tight up to…

Let $\Cc$ and $\Dd$ be two corings over a ring $A$ and $\Cc\stackrel{\lambda}{\longrightarrow}\Dd$ be a morphism of corings. We investigate the situation when the associated induced ("corestriction of scalars") functor…

Given an integral domain A we consider the set of all integral elements over A that can occur as an eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix over A. We give a sufficient criterion for being such an element. In the case where A is the ring of…
