A very specific quotient of a determinantal variety
I'm interesting in knowing whether a certain variety defined by maximal minors is irreducible. The specific construction is as follows: let $n \geq 2$ and let $R = \mathbb{C}[a_1,b_1,c_1,d_1,e_1,f_1,...

How to decompose a matrix over a ring $F[X_1,\ldots,X_k]$ as a product of two matrices
Let $F$ be a field. Assume any reasonable conditions if needed, such as $F=\mathbb R$, $F=\mathbb C$, $F$ is a finite field, or $F$ has a specific characteristic, etc. Let $C$ be an $n\times1$ matrix ...

Multiplicative identity of determinant of multiplicative action of a polynomial on a quotient ring (companion matrices)
Let $A$ be a commutative ring with $f,g\in A[x]$ monics. Consider the $A$-linear endomorphism $\mu_g^{(f)}\in \mathrm{End}_A\tfrac{A[x]}{\langle f\rangle}$ given by multiplication by $g$.
For monics $...

On the linear factors of a polynomial obtained from the determinant of a matrix whose entries are related to Binomial expansion
Consider the polynomial ring $R=\mathbb C[x,y]$.
Consider the matrix $A=\begin{pmatrix} x^5+y^5&5x^5&10x^5&10x^5&5x^5\\5y^5&x^5+y^5 &5x^5&10x^5&10x^5 \\10y^5&5y^5&...

Is it true that the generator of maximal ideal in $M_n(P[x])$ can be choosen to be monic?
Let $P$ be a finite field and $R=M_n(P[x])$ be a matrix polynomial ring.
I want to prove
that for every polynomial (not necessary with invertible leading term) $A(x)\in R$ such that $R\cdot A(x)$ is ...

An operator derived from the divided difference operator $\partial_{w_0}$
Some main definitions and basic facts of divided differences:
In the symmetric group $S_n$, let $s_i$ denote the adjacent transposition $(i,i+1),i\in \{1,2,\cdots,n-1\}.$ Since $S_n$ is generated by ...

Hilbert series of the weight 0 sub-algebra of the algebra of functions on GL(N)
Let $A$ be the algebra of polynomials in $N^2$ variables $x^i_j$, $i,j=1,\dots,N$. It is $\mathbb{Z}^N$ graded, with $\text{weight}(x^i_j)=e_i-e_j$. Here $(e_1,\dots,e_n)$ is the standard basis of $\...
