Almost All Integer Matrices Have No Integer Eigenvalues
In a recent issue of this MONTHLY, Hetzel, Liew, and Morrison [4] pose a rather natural question: what is the probability that a random n× n integer matrix is diagonalizable over the field of rational numbers? Since there is no uniform probability distribution on Z, we need to exercise some care in interpreting this question. Specifically, for an integer k ≥ 1, let Ik = {−k,−k + 1, . . . , k − ...
متن کاملThe Number of 2× 2 Integer Matrices Having a Prescribed Integer Eigenvalue
Random matrices arise in many mathematical contexts, and it is natural to ask about the properties that such matrices satisfy. If we choose a matrix with integer entries at random, for example, what is the probability that it will have a particular integer as an eigenvalue, or an integer eigenvalue at all? If we choose a matrix with real entries at random, what is the probability that it will h...
متن کاملSmall-Span Characteristic Polynomials of Integer Symmetric Matrices
Let f(x) ∈ Z[x] be a totally real polynomial with roots α1 ≤ . . . ≤ αd. The span of f(x) is defined to be αd − α1. Monic irreducible f(x) of span less than 4 are special. In this paper we give a complete classification of those small-span polynomials which arise as characteristic polynomials of integer symmetric matrices. As one application, we find some low-degree polynomials that do not aris...
متن کاملA Trace Bound for Positive Definite Connected Integer Symmetric Matrices
Let A be a connected integer symmetric matrix, i.e., A = (aij) ∈ Mn(Z) for some n, A = AT , and the underlying graph (vertices corresponding to rows, with vertex i joined to vertex j if aij 6= 0) is connected. We show that if all the eigenvalues of A are strictly positive, then tr(A) ≥ 2n− 1. There are two striking corollaries. First, the analogue of the Schur-SiegelSmyth trace problem is solve...
