✦ Synopsis


Let Zm be the ring of integers modulo m. The m-rank of an integer matrix is the largest order of a square submatrix whose determinant is not divisible by m. We determine the probability that a random rectangular matrix over ~Ym has a specified m-rank and, if it is square, a specified determinant. These results were previously known only for prime m.

Let V be a vector space of dimension n β‰₯ 3 over GF(2). We are concerned with the incidence of k-dimensional subspaces in (k + 2)-dimensional subspaces where 1 ≀ k ≀ n -2. We compute here an upper bound for the rank of the associated incidence matrices over GF(2).
