Alternating sign matrices of finite multiplicative order

Affine Alternating Sign Matrices

An Alternating sign matrix is a square matrix of 0’s, 1’s, and −1’s in which the sum of the entries in each row or column is 1 and the signs of the nonzero entries in each row or column alternate. This paper attempts to define an analogue to alternating sign matrices which is infinite and periodic. After showing the analogue we define shares desirable cahracteristics with alternating sign matri...

Symmetric alternating sign matrices

In this note we consider completions of n×n symmetric (0,−1)-matrices to symmetric alternating sign matrices by replacing certain 0s with +1s. In particular, we prove that any n×n symmetric (0,−1)-matrix that can be completed to an alternating sign matrix by replacing some 0s with +1s can be completed to a symmetric alternating sign matrix. Similarly, any n × n symmetric (0,+1)-matrix that can ...

Diagonally and Antidiagonally Symmetric Alternating Sign Matrices of Odd Order

We study the enumeration of diagonally and antidiagonally symmetric alternating sign matrices (DASASMs) of fixed odd order by introducing a case of the six-vertex model whose configurations are in bijection with such matrices. The model involves a grid graph on a triangle, with bulk and boundary weights which satisfy the Yang–Baxter and reflection equations. We obtain a general expression for t...
