Let $M\in\{-\ell,\dots,-1,0,+1,\dots,+\ell\}^{n\times n}$ be a matrix of rank $r$ where $\ell\geq1$ such that there is a permutation matrix in $\{0,1\}^{m\times m}$ of order $2\ell$. Fix a permutation ...

Given a field $F$ and a natural number $n$, let $B$ be the group of lower triangular, invertible $n \times n$ matrices over $F$. Then $$GL_n(F) = \biguplus_{\pi \in S_n} B \pi B,$$ where we embed the ...
