For a q by q matrix x=(x_{i,j}) we let J(x)=(x_{i,j}^{-1}) be the Hadamard inverse, which takes the reciprocal of the elements of x . We let I(x)=(x_{i,j})^{-1} denote the matrix inverse, and we define K=I\circ J to be the birational map…

For $q\geq 3$, we let $\mathcal{S}_q$ denote the projectivization of the set of symmetric $q\times q$ matrices with coefficients in $\mathbb{C}$. We let $I(x)=(x_{i,j})^{-1}$ denote the matrix inversion, and we let $J(x)=(x_{i,j}^{-1})$ be…

We describe birational representations of discrete groups generated by involutions, having their origin in the theory of exactly solvable vertex-models in lattice statistical mechanics. These involutions correspond respectively to two kinds…

Let $G$ be a connected graph on $n$ vertices and $d_{ij}$ be the length of the shortest path between vertices $i$ and $j$ in $G$. We set $d_{ii}=0$ for every vertex $i$ in $G$. The squared distance matrix $\Delta(G)$ of $G$ is the $n\times…

This article studies the sequence of iterative degrees of a birational map of the plane. This sequence is known either to be bounded or to have a linear, quadratic or exponential growth. The classification elements of infinite order with a…

In this paper, we establish a bijection between the set of mutation classes of mutation-cyclic skew-symmetric integral 3x3-matrices and the set of triples of integers (a,b,c) which are all greater than 1 and where the product of the two…

In this short note, we classify the degree-inverting involution on the full square and triangular matrices.

We construct a family of birational maps acting on two dimensional projective varieties, for which the growth of the degrees of the iterates is cubic. It is known that this growth can be bounded, linear, quadratic or exponential for such…

We construct a binary mutation invariant for skew-symmetric integer matrices. The invariant is not an integer congruence invariant for matrices of odd size: we provide examples of congruent such matrices with different values for the…

We study the functions that count matrices of given rank over a finite field with specified positions equal to zero. We show that these matrices are $q$-analogues of permutations with certain restricted values. We obtain a simple closed…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $G$ be a finite abelian group. If $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$ is a $G$-graded algebra, we study degree-inverting involutions on $A$, i.e., involutions $*$ on $A$ satisfying…

Matrix mutation of skew-symmetrizable matrices is foundational in cluster algebra theory. Effective mutation invariants are essential for determining whether two matrices lie in the same mutation class. Casals~\cite{Casals} introduced a…

$k$-diagonal circulant matrices and cyclic banded matrices are widely used in numerical simulations and signal processing of circular linear systems. Algorithms that directly involve or specify linear or quadratic complexity for the…

Let $n\ge 3$ be a square-free natural number. We explicitly describe the inverses of the matrices $$ (2\sin(2\pi jk^*/n))_{j,k} \enspace \mbox{ and }\enspace (2\cos(2\pi jk^*/n))_{j,k}, $$ where $k^*$ denotes a multiplicative inverse of $k$…

An integral transform for G=U(1,q) is studied. The transform maps the positive spin ladder representations of G on a Bargmann-Segal-Fock space F_n^1,q into a space of polynomial-valued functions on the bounded realization B^q of G/K. An…

We present here necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of circulant and symmetric matrices that depend on three parameters and moreover, we explicitly compute the inverse. The techniques we use are related with the…

We study the reciprocal variety to the linear space of symmetric matrices (LSSM) of catalecticant matrices associated with ternary quartics. With numerical tools, we obtain 85 to be its degree and 36 to be the ML-degree of the LSSM. We…

We construct a family of involutions on the space $\mathfrak{gl}_n'(\mathbb C)$ of $n\times n$ matrices with real eigenvalues interpolating the complex conjugation and the transpose. We deduce from it a stratified homeomorphism between the…

We study mappings obtained as s-periodic reductions of the lattice Korteweg-De Vries equation. For small s=(s1,s2) we establish upper bounds on the growth of the degree of the numerator of their iterates. These upper bounds appear to be…

In this paper some numerical restrictions for surfaces with an involution are obtained. These formulas are used to study surfaces of general type $S$ with $p_g=q=1$ having an involution $i$ such that $S/i$ is a non-ruled surface and such…
