On parametrization of a type of unimodular $2\times2$ integral matrix

A matrix $\begin{bmatrix}w&x\\y&z\end{bmatrix}\in\mathbb Z^{2\times 2}$ is unimodular if $$|wz-xy|=1$$ holds. Is there a parametrization of such matrices with $|w||z|-xy=1$ $$w,z<0<\max(...

Minimal volume of fundamental domains of lattices

Consider a full rank integer lattice in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Let $v_1$ be the shortest non-zero vector in the lattice, $v_2$ be the shortest one among those not parallel to $v_1$, $v_3$ be the shortest one ...

in search of a transformation between determinants

Motivated by this MO question. Consider the two matrices $A_n$ and $B_n$ with entries $\binom{2j}i$ and $\binom{n+1}{2j-i}$, respectively; for $1\leq i, \,j\leq n$. I can show $\det A_n=\det B_n=2^{\...

Number of *distinct* dot products of an integer vector by elements of a hyper-rectangle

Imagine a vector $\boldsymbol{v}$ composed of integers, and the set $S$ of all integer vectors within a hyper-rectange, with one corner at the origin and other at $\boldsymbol{m}$. In other words: $S ...
