Recently there has been several works estimating the number of $n\times n$ matrices with elements from some finite sets $\mathcal X$ of arithmetic interest and of a given determinant. Typically such results are compared with the trivial…

We consider the moment space $\mathcal{M}^{p}_{2n+1}$ of moments up to the order $2n + 1$ of $p_n\times p_n$ real matrix measures defined on the interval $[0,1]$. The asymptotic properties of the Hankel determinant $\{\log\det…

In this paper we study the eigenvalues of Hermitian Toeplitz matrices with the entries $2,-1,0,\ldots,0,-\alpha$ in the first column. Notice that the generating symbol depends on the order $n$ of the matrix. If $|\alpha|\le 1$, then the…

We consider the set $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{Z}; H)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of distinct irreducible characteristic polynomials which correspond to…

The Hadamard maximal determinant problem asks for the largest n-by-n determinant with entries in {+1,-1}. When n is congruent to 1 (mod 4), the maximal excess construction of Farmakis & Kounias has been the most successful general method…

Reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal matrices $(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For these matrices, criteria are established under which their Kippenhahn curves…

We evaluate the determinant of a matrix whose entries are elliptic hypergeometric terms and whose form is reminiscent of Sylvester matrices. A hypergeometric determinant evaluation of a matrix of this type has appeared in the context of…

Matrices of rank at most k are defined by the vanishing of polynomials of degree k + 1 in their entries (namely, their (k + 1)-times-(k + 1)-subdeterminants), regardless of the size of the matrix. We prove a qualitative analogue of this…

We study the limiting behavior of $\Tr U^{k(n)}$, where $U$ is a $n\times n$ random unitary matrix and $k(n)$ is a natural number that may vary with $n$ in an arbitrary way. Our analysis is based on the connection with Toeplitz…

We investigate determinants of random unitary pencils (with scalar or matrix coefficients), which generalize the characteristic polynomial of a single unitary matrix. In particular we examine moments of such determinants, obtained by…

We review some history and some recent results concerning Toeplitz determinants and their applications. We discuss, in particular, the crucial role of the two-dimensional Ising model in stimulating the development of the theory of Toeplitz…

Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. We determine the maximal dimension for an affine subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric (or alternating) matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$ and with…

We present a new technique for computing Hilbert series of N=1 supersymmetric QCD in four dimensions with unitary and special unitary gauge groups. We show that the Hilbert series of this theory can be written in terms of determinants of…

We compute the determinant of the Gram matrix of the Shapovalov form on weight spaces of the basic representation of an affine Kac-Moody algebra of ADE type (possibly twisted). As a consequence, we obtain explicit formulae for the…

We determine the probability that a random n x n symmetric matrix over {1, 2, ... , m} has determinant divisible by m.

We prove that $\det A\leq 6^\frac{n}{6}$ whenever $A\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ contains at most $2n$ ones. We also prove an upper bound on the determinant of matrices with the $k$-consecutive ones property, a generalisation of the consecutive…

We consider the spectrum of additive, polynomially vanishing random perturbations of deterministic matrices, as follows. Let $M_N$ be a deterministic $N\times N$ matrix, and let $G_N$ be a complex Ginibre matrix. We consider the matrix…

Questions on random matrices and on non-intersecting Brownian motions have led to the study of moment matrices with regard to several weights. The purpose of this paper is to show that the determinants of such moment matrices satisfy, upon…

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,…

Using recurrence matrices, defined and described with some details, we study a few determinants related to evaluations of binomial coefficients on Dirichlet characters modulo 2, 4 and 8.
