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.

Metrics on the group of unimodular polynomial matrices

The group of unimodular matrices $\mathbb{U}[s]^{n\times n}$ is given by the set of $n\times n$ square (real) matrix-valued polynomials $\mathbb{R}[s]^{n\times n}$ which admit a polynomial inverse. … the space $\mathbb{U}[s]^{n\times n}$ which, in some sense, resembles to the "natural", i.e. affine-invariant, metric of the general linear group $\mathbb{GL}(n)$ for the case of $n\times n$ constant matrices
