I conjecture three identities for the determinant of adjacency matrices of graphene triangles and trapezia with Bloch (and more general) boundary conditions. For triangles, the parametric determinant is equal to the characteristic…
A new determinant inequality of positive semidefinite matrices is discovered and proved by us. This new inequality is useful for attacking and solving a variety of optimization problems arising from the design of wireless communication…
An algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $n\times n$ complex matrices is said to be \textit{idempotent compressible} if $E\mathcal{A}E$ is an algebra for all idempotents $E\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Analogously, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be…
We find a basis for the $G$-graded identities of the $n\times n$ matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ over an infinite field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$ with an elementary grading such that the neutral component corresponds to the diagonal of $M_n(K)$.
In the context of synthetic differential geometry, we study the Laplace operator an a Riemannian manifold. The main new aspect is a neighbourhood of the diagonal, smaller than the second neighbourhood usually required as support for second…
Let $D$ be the ring of integers of a quadratic number field $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{d}]$. We study the factorizations of $2 \times 2$ matrices over $D$ into idempotent factors. When $d < 0$ there exist singular matrices that do not admit…
We unify Linear Algebra by proposing a definition of determinants via one equation that implies all known properties of them:\\ 1. Cramer's Rule,\\ 2. Cofactor expansion,\\ 3. Antisymmetry of determinants,\\ 4. Linearity of determinants,\\…
Let $G$ be an adjoint algebraic group of type $B$, $C$, or $D$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We construct a Springer correspondence for the Lie algebra of $G$. In particular, for orthogonal Lie algebras in…
We describe combinatorial properties of the defining row of a circulant Hadamard matrix by exploiting its orthogonality to subsequent rows, and show how to exclude several particular forms of these matrices.
We describe the mathematical properties of pairwise comparisons matrices with coefficients in an arbitrary group. We provide a vocabulary adapted for the description of main algebraic properties of inconsistency maps, describe an example…
In this paper, some real-world motivated examples are provided illustrating the power of linear algebra tools as the product of matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In this sense, some practical applications related to…
It is known that strongly nilpotent matrices over a division ring are linearly triangularizable. We describe the structure of such matrices in terms of the strong nilpotency index. We apply our results on quasi-translation x + H such that…
Distance matrices are matrices whose elements are the relative distances between points located on a certain manifold. In all cases considered here all their eigenvalues except one are non-positive. When the points are uncorrelated and…
We study the moduli surface for pairs of elliptic curves together with an isomorphism between their N-torsion groups. The Weil pairing gives a "determinant" map from this moduli surface to (Z/NZ)*; its fibers are the components of the…
We establish new explicit connections between classical (scalar) and matrix Gegenbauer polynomials, which result in new symmetries of the latter and further give access to several properties that have been out of reach before: generating…
It is known that every complex square matrix with nonnegative determinant is the product of positive semi-definite matrices. There are characterizations of matrices that require two or five positive semi-definite matrices in the product.…
We prove nilpotency results for Lie algebras over an arbitrary field admitting a derivation, which satisfies a given polynomial identity $r(t)=0$. For the polynomial $r=t^n-1$ we obtain results on the nilpotency of Lie algebras admitting a…

The paper concerns an analogue of the famous Schur multiplier in the context of associative algebras and a measure of how far its dimension is from being maximal. Applying a methodology from Lie theory, we characterize all…
This paper starts by showing that for algebras in a certain class the concepts of weak nilpotency and nilpotency coincide. It goes on to describe some solvability and nilpotency properties of bicommutative algebras, of assosymmetric and of…
