The sum of same powers of all matrices modulo p

The sum is zero for all $k<p^2-1$. Assume that $k$ is a multiple of $p-1$ and $k<p^2-1$. Divide all matrices into classes of the form $\{A,A+1,A+2,\dots,A+(p-1)\}$ . Summimg the $k$th powers over su …

Is there a field which is the union of finitely many proper subfields?

There are 3 cases. Case 1. The field is finite. Then, as Charles Matthews pointed out, the primitive element theorem does the job. Case 2: The intersection of the subfields is infinite. This is cove …

Existence of definite symmetric matrices satisfying affine linear constraints

No. Consider the 3-dimensional affine subspace consisting of all matrices having $1,1,-1$ on the diagonal (non-diagonal entries are arbitrary). A small perturbation of this subspace cannot intersect t …
