Let $p_1<p_2<\cdots<p_n$ be positive real numbers. It is shown that the matrix whose $i,j$ entry is $(p_i+p_j)^{p_i+p_j}$ is infinitely divisible, nonsingular and totally positive.

For a prime number $p$, an integer $e\geq 2$ and a field $F$ containing a primitive $p^e$-th root of unity, the index of central simple $F$-algebras of exponent $p^e$ is bounded in terms of the $p$-symbol length of $F$. For a nonreal field…

A multiset $\Lambda=\{\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n\}$ of complex numbers is said to be realizable whenever there exists a nonnegative matrix of order $n$ with spectrum $\Lambda$. One of the broadest criterion that guarantees realizability is…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over the rationals. The purpose of this article is to define a positive integer $A(E)$, that we call the {\it Serre's constant associated to $E$}, that gives necessary…

A pseudo-Anosov surface automorphism $\phi$ has associated to it an algebraic unit $\lambda_\phi$ called the dilatation of $\phi$. It is known that in many cases $\lambda_\phi$ appears as the spectral radius of a Perron-Frobenius matrix…

Let E be a rational elliptic curve of conductor N without complex multiplication and let K be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant D prime to N. Assume that the number of primes dividing N and inert in K is odd, and let H be the…

We study an analogue of the Herbrand-Ribet theorem, and its refinement by Mazur and Wiles, in graph theory. For an odd prime number $p$, we let $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ denote the finite field with $p$ elements and the ring of…

The Galois ring $GR(p^r,m)$ of characteristic $p^r$ and cardinality $p^{rm}$, where $p$ is a prime and $r,m \ge 1$ are integers, is a Galois extension of the residue class ring $Z_{p^r}$ by a root $\omega$ of a monic basic irreducible…

In this paper, we investigate some properties of the Perron vector of connected graphs. These results are used to characterize that all extremal connected graphs with having the minimum (maximum) spectra radius among all connected graphs of…

Using matrix function theory, Perron-Frobenius theory, combinatorial matrix theory, and elementary number theory, we characterize, classify, and describe in terms of the Jordan canonical form the matrix pth-roots of imprimitive irreducible…

For a graph $G$ without isolated vertices, the inverse degree of a graph $G$ is defined as $ID(G)=\sum_{u\in V(G)}d(u)^{-1}$ where $d(u)$ is the number of vertices adjacent to the vertex $u$ in $G$. By replacing $-1$ by any non-zero real…

In 1972, A. J. Hoffman proved his celebrated theorem concerning the limit points of spectral radii of non-negative symmetric integral matrices less than $\sqrt{2+\sqrt{5}}$. In this paper, after giving a new version of Hoffman's theorem, we…

We introduce complex cones and associated projective gauges, generalizing a real Birkhoff cone and its Hilbert metric to complex vector spaces. We deduce a variety of spectral gap theorems in complex Banach spaces. We prove a dominated…

Let L be a finite extension of Q_p and d a positive integer. A conjecture, due to C. Breuil and P. Schneider, says that the existence of invariant norms on certain locally algebraic representations of GL_{d+1}(L) should be equivalent to the…

It is proved that given any prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of height at least 2 in a countable commutative noetherian ring $A$, there are uncountably many more dualizable objects in the $\mathfrak{p}$-local $\mathfrak{p}$-torsion stratum of the…

Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field with residual characteristic p, let G be an inner form of GL(n,F) for a positive integer n and let R be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. When R has…

We prove that every topologically transitive shift of finite type in one dimension is topologically conjugate to a subshift arising from a primitive random substitution on a finite alphabet. As a result, we show that the set of values of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $e_p$ be its irregularity index. If $4e_p+8 <\frac{p-1}{2}$ we construct a Galois representation with image in the diagonal torus of $\op{GSp}_4(\Fp)$ that lifts to a characteristic $0$ representation unramified…

Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$ and $n$ a positive integer. We give a characterization of the polynomials in $K[X]$ which are integer-valued over the set of matrices $M_n(D)$ in terms of their divided…

Power nonnegative matrices are defined as complex matrices having at least one nonnegative integer power. We exploit the possibility of deriving a Perron Frobenius-like theory for these matrices, obtaining three main results and drawing…
