Doubly stochastic matrices that remain doubly stochastic after conjugating by the character table of a finite abelian group
I am curious if anything is known about the following.
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite abelian group, and let $\chi$ be its character table, normalized so that it is a unitary matrix. E.g., if $\Gamma$ is $\...

Simultaneous similarity classes of pairs in $\mathrm{GL}_{n}(\Bbb Z / p\Bbb Z)$?
$\DeclareMathOperator{\GL}{\operatorname{GL}}$Let $G$ be an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank $2$. Let $\alpha, \beta :G\rightarrow \GL_{n}(\Bbb Z / p\Bbb Z)$ be two injective homomorphisms. The ...

Cardinality of certain subsets in vector spaces over finite fields
Assume that you have an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field (therefore the number of elements in the vector space is finite) and $F$ is a subset of this vector space which contains $m$ ...

Lower and upper bounds of the distance between two Frobenius numbers
I consider two sequences of numbers: $A=\{a_1,...,a_{m-1},n\}$ and $B=\{n-a_{m-1},...,n-a_1,n\}$, where $a_1 < a_2 < ... < a_{m-1} < n$ and $\gcd(A) = \gcd(B) = 1$.
I investigate the ...

Submodules of $({\mathbb Z}/6{\mathbb Z})^n$ intersecting $\{0,1\}^n$ trivially
$\newcommand{\F}{{\mathbb F}}$
$\newcommand{\Z}{{\mathbb Z}}$
Suppose that $\F$ is a finite field of prime order $p:=|\F|$, and let $n$ be a positive integer. I consider the regime where $\F$ is ...

does this set of permutations form a group? And more
Consider the group of $mn\times mn$ permutation matrices $\mathfrak{S}_{mn}$ and partition each such matrix $P$ into $n^2$ blocks of $m\times m$ matrices $Q_{i,j}$. Now, transpose each $Q_{i,j}$ (...

Largest subset of $GL_n(p)$ in which pairwise subtraction is also in $GL_n(p)$
Suppose $X\subset \mathrm{GL}_n(p)$ is a set of invertible matrices such that for every $A,B\in X$ then also $A-B\in \mathrm{GL}_n(p)\cup \{0\}$. (If anyone knows a name for such sets I would be ...
