Combinatorial proof of invertibility of a symmetric matrix associated to the ring of matrices over a finite field

Let $F$ be a finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $M_n(F)$ be the ring of $n\times n$ matrices over $F$. We define a $q^{n^2}\times q^{n^2}$ symmetric matrix $L$ over the ...

Matrix decompositions as monoid isomorphisms. Ever considered before?

I've noticed some correspondences between some matrix decompositions and monoid isomorphisms (always to some free commutative monoid), in addition to the one I asked about in a previous question: ...

The "matrix direct sum" monoid modulo unitary equivalence

Given a commutative $*$-ring $(R,*)$, let $M(R,*)$ be the monoid whose elements are matrices over $R$ of all possible shapes and entries, including those that have $0$ columns or $0$ rows. Let the ...

Another matrices for a semigroup with intermediate growth

Nathanson showed that the Okninski's semigroup $S$ of $2×2$ matrices which is generated by the set $H=\{A,B\}$, where $ A=\begin{bmatrix} 1&1\\ 0&1\\ \end{bmatrix} , B=\begin{bmatrix} 1&0\\...
