Let $M$ be a $0/1$ matrix over $\mathbb F_2^{n\times n}$ with determinant $0$. The set of such singular matrices form a semigroup. The set of nilpotent matrices of size $n\times n$ form a semigroup. ...

We have some subsets $A_1,\dots,A_k$ of $A=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$. For each permutation $\sigma$ of $A$, define $f(\sigma) = \sum_{i=1}^k g(\sigma,A_i)$, where if the earliest element of $A_i$ in $\sigma$ ...

What is the number of terms of the unique multilinear polynomial $f\in\Bbb F_2[x_{1,1},\dots,x_{n,n}]$ in $n^2$ variables such that $f$ vanishes only on matrices that are permutations? Are there good ...

Consider the sequence $S = 1,2,3,\ldots n$ of elements, along with a sequence $T = t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_m$ of transpositions. Each transposition $t_i$ is a tuple $(a_i, b_i) \in [n]^2$. When applying a ...
