Expressing a polynomial as the determinant of a matrix of linear forms
I have heard that it's a well known result (in theoretical computer science?) that if we have a polynomial $p(t_1,\dots,t_n)$ over $\mathbb Q$, we can find matrices $M_0,\dots,M_n/\mathbb Q$ such that ...

Generalized Courant-Fischer theorem
Consider some quaternionic matrix $A$. A right eigvenvalue of $A$ is a quaternion $q$ such that $Ax=xq$ for some $x\in \mathbb{H}^n$. Similarly, a left eigenvalue of $A$ is quaternion $q$ such that $...

A reference on semisimple linear algebra
Is there any literature where the tools familiar from (multi)linear algebra are systematically transferred to the setting of semisimple modules over noncommutative rings?
In fact this question is a ...

Image of the reduction of a maximal order in a central simple algebra over $\mathbb Q$
Suppose $A$ is a $n^2$-dimensional central simple algebra over $\mathbb Q$, and $O_A$ is an maximal order of $A$.
Choose a finite place $p$ such that $A \otimes \mathbb Q_p \cong M_n(\mathbb Q_p)$. ...

Hurwitz–Radon problem for $ \mathbb{Q} ^{n} $
What is the maximal number of orthogonal operators $ A _{1} , \dotsc, A _ {m} $ in $ \mathbb{Q}^{ n } $ satisfying the relations $ A_{i}^{2} = - I $ and $ A_{i}A_{j} + A_{j}A_{i} = 0 $ for $ i \neq ...

Closest generators for matrix algebra which is not semisimple
Given a collection of $n$ commuting $n \times n$ matrices $A_1, \dots, A_n \subset M_n (\mathbb{R})$ which generate a semisimple algebra $\mathcal{A}$, I am interested in finding matrices $E_1, \dots, ...

Algorithms to find the solutions of a homogenous matrix equations for non-commutative rings
In one paper from 1980 I found a note that there are no known algorithms for solving
homogenous matrix equations $x \cdot M = 0$ for matrices which elements belong to a non-commutative ring.
(The non-...
