Many questions in number theory concern the nonvanishing of determinants of square matrices of logarithms (complex or p-adic) of algebraic numbers. We present a new conjecture that states that if such a matrix has vanishing determinant,…

Let $A=(a_{ij})$ be an $n$-by-$n$ matrix. For any real number $\mu$, we define the polynomial $$P_\mu(A)=\sum_{\sigma\in S_n} a_{1\sigma(1)}\cdots a_{n\sigma(n)}\,\mu^{\ell(\sigma)}\; ,$$ as the $\mu$-permanent of $A$, where $\ell(\sigma)$…
It is known that computing the permanent of the matrix $1+A$, where $A$ is a finite-rank matrix, requires a number of operations polynomial in the matrix size. Motivated by the boson-sampling proposal of restricted quantum computation, I…
We show that the permanent of a matrix is a linear combination of determinants of block diagonal matrices which are simple functions of the original matrix. To prove this, we first show a more general identity involving \alpha-permanents:…

A $d$-dimensional matrix is called \emph{$1$-polystochastic} if it is non-negative and the sum over each line equals~$1$. Such a matrix that has a single $1$ in each line and zeros elsewhere is called a \emph{$1$-permutation} matrix. A…
