Integer matrices whose determinant equals their norm

Let $M$ be an $2 \times 2$ matrix, with all entries in $\mathbb{N}$: $$ M= \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \;. $$ So $$ \mathrm{det}(M) = a d - b c \; . $$ The Euclidean norm (...

Is this set empty?

Suppose we have two rank $n-1$ matrices in $\Bbb Z^{(n-1)\times n}$ given by $$C=\begin{bmatrix} c_{1}& -d_{1}& 0& 0&\dots 0& 0\\ 0& c_{2}& -d_{2}& 0&...

On parametrization of a type of unimodular $2\times2$ integral matrix

A matrix $\begin{bmatrix}w&x\\y&z\end{bmatrix}\in\mathbb Z^{2\times 2}$ is unimodular if $$|wz-xy|=1$$ holds. Is there a parametrization of such matrices with $|w||z|-xy=1$ $$w,z<0<\max(...
