Elementary Divisors and Determinants of Random Matrices over a Local Field
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the elementary divisors and determinant of a uniformly distributed n n random matrix with entries in the ring of integers of an arbitrary local eld. We show that the sequence of elementary divisors is in a simple bijective correspondence with a Markov chain on the nonnegative integers. The transition dynamics of this chain do not depend on the size of the matrix. As n ! 1, all but nitely many of the elementary divisors are 1, and the remainder arise from a Markov chain with these same transition dynamics. We also obtain the distribution of the determinant of Mn and nd the limit of this distribution as n ! 1. Our formulae have connections with classical identities for q-series, and the q-binomial theorem in particular.

On Cartan matrices and lower defect groups for covering groups of symmetric groups
We determine the elementary divisors of the Cartan matrices of spin p-blocks of the covering groups of the symmetric groups when p is an odd prime. As a consequence, we also compute the determinants of these Cartan matrices, and in particular we confirm a conjecture by Brundan and Kleshchev that these determinants depend only on the weight but not on the sign of the block. The main purpose of t...
متن کاملOn the Computation of Elementary Divisors of Integer Matrices
The εi are called the elementary divisors of A and à is called the Smith normal form or elementary divisors form of A. In Section 3 we give an algorithm for computing for a given matrix A, its rank r and a prime p the p-parts of the elementary divisors of A. During the algorithm we perform row operations on the matrix A which are driven by only considering certain reductions of row vectors modu...
متن کاملOn p-semilinear transformations
In this paper, we introduce $p$-semilinear transformations for linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$, discuss initially the elementary properties of $p$-semilinear transformations, make use of it to give some characterizations of linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$. Moreover, we find a one-to-one correspondence between $p$-semiline...
متن کاملElementary divisors of Specht modules
The irreducible representations of the symmetric groups and their Iwahori-Hecke algebras have been classified and constructed by James [6] and Dipper and James [2], yet simple properties of these modules, such as their dimensions, are still not known. Every irreducible representation of these algebras is constructed by quotienting out the radical of a bilinear form on a particular type of modul...

The elementary divisors of the Gram matrices of Specht modules S λ over the symmetric group are determined for two-row partitions and for two-column partitions λ. More precisely, the subquotients of the Jantzen filtration are calculated using Schaper's formula. Moreover, considering a general partition λ of n at a prime p > n − λ 1 , the only possible non trivial composition factor of S λ Fp is...
