A conjectural permanent identity

Let $n>1$ be an integer, and let $\zeta$ be a primitive $n$th root of unity. By $(3.4)$ of arXiv:2206.02589, $1$ and those $n+1-2s\ (s=1,\ldots,n-1)$ are all the eigenvalues of the matrix $M=[m_{jk}...

Integer eigenvalues of a class of matrices inspired by Prof. Zhi-Wei Sun's conjecture

Theorem: Let $n>1$ be an odd number and $\zeta$ a primitive $n$-th root of unity. Then \begin{eqnarray} &&\sum_{\tau\in D(n-1)}\mathrm{sign}(\tau)\prod_{j=1}^{n-1}\frac{1}{1-\zeta^{j-\tau(j)...

Identities involving derangements and roots of unity

For a positive integer $n$, a derangement of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is a permutation $\tau$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with $\tau(j)\not=j$ for all $j=1,\ldots,n$. For convenience, we let $D(n)$ denote the set of ...

A conjecture involving roots of unity

Motivated by Kevin Liu's recent question, here I pose the following conjecture based on my numerical computation. Conjecture. Let $m>1$ and $n>1$ be integers. Let $\delta\in\{0,1\}$ and let $\...
