Sum of two strictly n-zero matrices

In this work we investigate when an $n\times n$ Jordan matrix can be written as the sum of two strictly $n$-zero matrices. In particular, we show that if $\mathbb{F}$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $A$ is an $n\times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}$ with $\tr(A)=0$, then $A$ is the sum of two strictly $n$-zero matrices.

$(k+1)$-potent Matrices in triangular matrix Groups and Incidence Algebras of Finite Posets

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field such that $char(\mathbb{K})\nmid k$ and $char(\mathbb{K})\nmid k+1$. We describe all $(k+1)$-potent matrices over the group of upper triangular matrix. In the case that $\mathbb{K}$ is a finite field we show how to compute the number of these elements in triangular matrix groups and use this formula to compute the number of $(k+1)$-potent elements in the Incidence Algebra $\mathcal{I}(X,\mathbb{K})$ where $X$ is a finite poset.

How to construct a upper triangular matrix that satisfy the quadratic polynomial equation with different roots

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity $1$. We describe all matrices in $T_n(R)$ the ring of $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over $R$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}$), and $T_{\infty}(R)$ the ring of infinite upper triangular matrices over $R$, satisfying the quadratic polynomial equation $x^2-rx+s=0$. For such propose we assume that the above polynomial have two different roots in $R$. Moreover, in the case that $R$ in finite, we compute the number of all matrices to solves the matrix equation $A^2-rA+sI=0,$ where $I$ is the identity matrix.

Expressing Finite-Infinite Matrices Into Products of Commutators of Finite Order Elements

Let $R$ be an associative ring with unity $1$ and consider $k\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $1+1+..+1=k$ is invertible. Denote by $ω$ an arbitrary kth root of unity in $R$ and let $UT^{(k)}_{\infty}(R)$ be the group of upper triangular infinite matrices whose diagonal entries are $k$th roots of $1$. We show that every element of the group $UT_{\infty}(R)$ can be expressed as a product of $4k-6$ commutators all depending of powers of elements in $UT^{(k)}_{\infty}(R)$ of order $k$. If $R$ is the complex field or the real number field we prove that, in $SL_n(R)$ and in the subgroup $SL_{VK}(\infty,R)$ of the Vershik-Kerov group over $R$, each element in these groups can be decomposed into a product of at most $4k-6$ commutators of elements of order $k$.

Sums Of K-potent Matrices

We study sums of $k$-potent matrices. We show the conditions by which a complex matrix $A$ can be expressed as a sums of $k$-potent matrices. Also we obtain conditions by which a complex matrix $A$ can be expressed as a sum of finite order elements. This generalize some results obtain by Wu. Also we study the sum of $k$-potent matrices in $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{C}f}(F)$ with $F$ be a field and proof that any matrix in this space can be expressed as a sum of $14$ $(k+1)$-potent matrices preserving the result obtain by Slowik.

Involutions on Incidence Algebras of Finite Posets

We give various formulas to compute the number of all involutions, i.e. elements of order 2, in an incidence algebra $I(X,\mathbb{K})$, where $X$ is a finite poset (star, Y and Rhombuses) and $\mathbb{K}$ is a finite field of characteristic different from 2. Using the techniques describing here we show an algorithm to calculate the number of involutions on any finite poset.
