Geometry of numbers for three by three matrices?
While trying to use Minkowski's theorem to calculate the (left) class number of a noncommutative ring, I ran into the following problem:
What is the volume of the largest symmetric convex subset $S$...

Automorphisms of a matrix in Smith normal form?
Added: Amritanshu Prasad's answer makes it clear that I am really asking for a description of the group of integer unimodular matrices $P$ such that $D^{-1}PD$ is also integer. These matrices are ...

Rank of sum of Galois conjugates of a matrix
Given an invertible square matrix $M$ with entries from some number field $K$ which is Galois over $\mathbb{Q}$, sum the Galois conjugates of $M$ to form a new matrix $M' = \Sigma_{\sigma \in \mathrm{...

Positive system of algebraic integers
Let $\mathbb{A}$ be the ring of algebraic integers. Consider a sequence $(d_i)_{i \in I}$, with $I$ a finite set and $d_i \in \mathbb{A} \cap \mathbb{R}_{\ge 1}$, such that $$d_i d_j = \sum_{k \in I} ...

Smith normal form and last invariant factor of certain matrices
I've copied over this question from what I asked on Mathematics Stack Exchange, in the hope that some experts can provide some relevant insight.
Suppose we have row vectors $x_1$, $x_2$ , $y_1$ , $y_2 ...

Prime index subgroups of $\langle Q^{i}(\mathbb Z^{2}) \mid i \in \mathbb Z \rangle$ that is invariant under matrix $Q$
Let $Q $ be a matrix in $ \operatorname{GL}(2, \mathbb{Q}) $ and consider the group
$G = \langle Q^{i}(\mathbb Z^{2}) \mid i \in \mathbb Z \rangle := \langle Q^{i}(v) \mid i \in \mathbb Z, v \in \...

determinantal ideal of sum of Galois conjugate matrices
Given $n$ matrices $A_i \in \mathbb{Z}^{m\times m}$. I am interested in the ideal $I_d(A)$ generated by the $d\times d$-minors of $A = \sum_{i=1}^n x_iA_i \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, \dots , x_n]$.
The matrix ...
