Questions where the notion matrix has an important or crucial role (for the latter, note the tag matrix-theory for potential use). Matrices appear in various parts of mathematics, and this tag is typically combined with other tags to make the general subject clear, such as an appropriate top-level tag ra.rings-and-algebras, co.combinatorics, etc. and other tags that might be applicable. There are also several more specialized tags concerning matrices.

The topology of open semi-algebraic sets (appl.: totally positive matrices)

The homotopy groups of the semigroup of determinant one totally positive matrices are all trivial. A proof of this is in the paper (example 6.2) A. J. Santana and L.A.B. … It applies also e.g. to the semigroup of nxn matrices with positive entries and determinant one. This semigroup has the homotopy type of the compact group SO(n-1). …
