Is a matrix similar to its transpose over $\mathbb{Z}_p$?
Is every $n \times n$ matrix with entries in $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (or even $\mathbb{Z}$) conjugate to its transpose via a matrix in $GL_n(\mathbb{Z}_p)$?
On the one hand, I know the analogous fact is false ...

Solving multilinear equations
Let $N=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Suppose we are given $n$ equations, with each equation taking the form $\sum_{A\subseteq N}\left(c_A \prod_{i\in A}x_i \right) = 0$, where each $c_A$ is a real number ...

Conditions for the consistency of a system of affine polynomials
Let $f_1, f_2,\ldots,f_N$ be some affine polynomials. We consider the question if these polynomials have a common (affine) root. By homogenizing these polynomials, we can associate a projective ...

Condition for equality of modules generated by columns of matrices
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unit. Let $M_A$ denote the submodule of $R^m$ generated by columns of a matrix $A$ with entries in $R$. Suppose we are given two matrices $A,B \in R^{m \times k}$. I ...

category of non-welldefined linear maps
I was wondering whether the following category already has been used somewhere and whether it already has been named.
Let us fix a field $k$ (or more generally a ring). An object is just a $k$-vector ...

Algebraic structures on graphs
There are many algebraic structures linked to graphs.
For example one can find zero divisor graphs $[1]$, $[2]$ and many other graphs.
Does there exist any survey paper which characterizes all the ...
