Aug 23, 2018 at 13:35 comment added Claude Chaunier Now get ready for a shock. There is no such general truth for $Q=J$ and period $2$. For a few $6\times 7$ binary matrices, the period is $4$. For a few others, it is $6$. Some others, $3$. I'll show you those counterexamples in an answer. I'll also explore random big matrices to see better.
Aug 23, 2018 at 13:31 comment added Claude Chaunier Great, I understand your explanation about $Id$. In other words : the first column never increases as a binary number, so it is going to stay the same at some point, as two blocks of $00\ldots0$ and $11\dots1$. At that point the same holds for the 2nd column for each sublock, and so on.
Aug 22, 2018 at 20:08 comment added jcdornano I thing the case $Q=Id$ is true. We first notice that in the cycle there should appear a column (seen like the characteristic fonction of a set) that is a minimum for inclusion, and then it will state at the first place all the time. We do the same statement with the bloc of rows that begin by $0$ and those that begin by $1$, and so on... (dont have place to be very precise and formal^^)
Aug 22, 2018 at 20:03 comment added jcdornano That's great, and very usefull! And I'm sure the list will teach us something!
Aug 22, 2018 at 16:35 comment added Claude Chaunier I brute-force went through all binary matrices with $n=m\le6$, and it happens to holds for $Q=Id$ and $Q=J$ on those small sizes. It doesn't hold for many $Q$'s however. I'll list those for which it holds.
Jul 23, 2018 at 19:19 comment added jcdornano I posted a new question with general $Q\in GL_m(F_2)$ such that $Q^q=Id$ here : mathoverflow.net/questions/306673/…
Jul 23, 2018 at 15:41 comment added jcdornano It "seems" like it is also working for arbitrary $Q\in M_m(F_2)$ such that $Q^q=Iq$, and maybe we can have a nice generalization to any field and even to any ring ! (after deciding an arbitrary total order on the ring so that you can define a lexicographic order on rows/columns)

Thanks to Andreas Blass I realised that I had forget the composition with $\mathcal R$ !! I also add an example
Jul 22, 2018 at 17:45 comment added jcdornano I'm sorry I completely forgot a step in my construction (the composing with transposition part (that occurs in the link) is missing!!) I 'm editing write now!!
Jul 22, 2018 at 14:12 comment added Andreas Blass I think I'm misunderstanding the question, because it seems to me that $r=1$ would work. Could you give me an example where $r$ can't just be $1$? I hope that such an example will clear up my confusion.
