Groups of singular alternating sign matrices

We investigate multiplicative groups consisting entirely of singular alternating sign matrices (ASMs) and present several constructions of such groups. It is shown that every finite group is isomorphic to a group of singular ASMs, with a singular idempotent ASM as its identity element. The relationship between the size, the rank, and the possible multiplicative orders of singular ASMs is explored.

Abstract

We investigate multiplicative groups consisting entirely of singular alternating sign matrices (ASMs) and present several constructions of such groups. It is shown that every finite group is isomorphic to a group of singular ASMs, with a singular idempotent ASM as its identity element. The relationship between the size, the rank, and the possible multiplicative orders of singular ASMs is explored.
