Carl Friedrich Gauss's textbook, Disquisitiones arithmeticae, published in 1801 (Latin), remains to this day a true masterpiece of mathematical examination..

Every real ( 2 n + 1 ) × ( 2 n + 1 ) matrix can be written as a sum of a scalar, a skew matrix, and a matrix of rank ≤ n . For n = 1 , this proves a claim first stated in 1920, and the summands there are (nearly) unique.

Given a polynomial in characteristic p, the algorithm here will (without factorization) find a separable polynomial with the same irreducible factors or prove that none exists. This is what is needed to compute the Jordan decomposition of a matrix in

For a d×d matrix over a finite field with q elements, the portion of d-tuples generating maximal cyclic subspaces is at least e−2log(q)/[log(q)+log(d)], and there are examples of that order of magnitude.

For a projective plane over a field F , we classify all asymmetric linear correlations up to equivalence under the group of all collineations. The result is derived from the finer equivalence of bilinear forms on three-dimensional spaces.

Let F be a field finite-dimensional over subfields A and B. It is known from Galois theory that the degree \( [F : A \cap B] \) can be infinite. If F is purely inseparable over B and finitely generated over the prime field, this cannot happen; but it

The trace takes bilinear forms over a separable field extension to certain bilinear forms over the base field. This paper shows how to compute the inverse of that process. The construction implies that two known ways of classifying rational symmetric

Call matrices A and B congruent when PAPt = B for some invertible P. Extending a result of Gow, this paper shows that the number of congruence classes in the n × n matrices over Fq is the coefficient of tn in [formula] (where e = 1 for even q and e

Let F be a field containing a primitive p-th root of unity, let K / F be a cyclic extension with group 〈σ〉 of order pn, and choose a in K. This paper shows how the Galois group of the normal closure of K(a1/p) over F can be determined by computa
