Simplest examples of rings that are not isomorphic to their opposites
What are the simplest examples of
rings that are not isomorphic to their
opposite rings? Is there a science to constructing them?
The only simple example known to me:
In Jacobson's Basic Algebra ( …

On similar matrices and polynomial matrices
This proof is different from the one in Denis Serre's book.
As usual, take $M^A$ and $M^B$ to be the $k[t]$-modules with underlying space $k^n$, where $t$ acts by $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then $A$ i …

An algebra constructed from symmetric differences
Let $S$ be a finite set. Let $R$ be a complex vector space with basis indexed by subsets of $S$. Define a product on $R$ by defining it on the basis elements as $1_A\cdot 1_B=1_{A\Delta B}$, where $A\ …

Counting representations of $k[x,y]$ when $k$ is finite
$\newcommand{\GFq}{\mathbf F_q}$
Let $r_n(q)$ denote the number of isomorphism classes of $n$-dimensional modules of the $\GFq$-algebra $\GFq[x,y]$. Is it known whether there exists a polynomial $p_n( …

Maximal centralizer in full matrix ring
The answer is no.
Consider the matrix:
$$
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
\end{pmatrix}
$$

Centralizer of a Matrix over a Finite Field
Treat $F^n$ as an $F[t]$-module $M^A$, where $t$ acts by the matrix $A$. Then the centralizer can be thought of as $\mathrm{End}_{F[t]} M^A$. Now, $M^A$ has a primary decomposition
$ M^A = \bigoplus_ …

Automorphisms of a matrix in Smith normal form?
If you have $P$, I think you can recover $Q$ as $(D^{-1}PD)^{-1}$.
Therefore, you are looking for invertible integer matrices $P$ such that $D^{-1}PD$ is also invertible (i.e., $P\in GL_n(\mathbf Z)\c …

Are wild problems related to undecidable ones?
In representation theory, there is a well-known notion of a wild classification problem (such problems have been discussed often on this forum, for example, here). In logic, there is a notion of an un …
