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} ...

How to see that the determinant of this matrix is nonzero for all primes?
I'm trying to show that $\sum_{i = 0}^{p-2} (i+1)^{-1} t^{i+n}$ where $0 \leq n \leq p-2$ spans the vector space $\mathbb{F}_p[t]/(1-t)^{p-1}$ as a rank $p-1$ module over $\mathbb{F}_p$.
In other ...

Characteristic polynomial of a matrix related to pairs of elements generating $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$
Fix $n\geq 2$. Let $A$ be the matrix whose rows and columns
are indexed by pairs $(a,b)\in \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ such
that $a,b$ generate $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ (the number of
such pairs is $\phi(...

Is it hard to decide whether a matrix is a square of another matrix?
According to the well-know quadratic residue (QR) theory over integers, we know that it is hard to decide whether a given integer $m\in\mathbb Z_N$ is a quadratic residue (i.e., a square of another ...

A sum of Ramanujan sums
I have the following question about Ramanujan sums.
(All vectors and matrices here will be understood to have integer entries.)
Let $X_q=\{ (x_1,...,x_R)|1\leq x_i\leq q\} $ and let, for any $R\...

Rational points with small denominator in $U(n)$
Fix integers $n,d>0$. (I'm probably thinking about $n\leq 6$ and $d\leq 2000$.) Let $X$ be the set of matrices $A\in U(n)$ such that the entries of $dA$ lie in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$.
Is there an ...

Average size of determinants of integer matrices?
I am interested in estimating how large determinants of matrices tend to be 'on average' given the following model: suppose we form $n \times n$ matrices $M$ such that all of the entries of $M$ are ...
