On the determinants and permanents of matrices with restricted entries over prime fields

Let $A$ be a set in a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$. In this paper, we prove that $d\times d$ matrices with entries in $A$ determine almost $|A|^{3+\frac{1}{45}}$ distinct determinants and almost $|A|^{2-\frac{1}{6}}$ distinct permanents when $|A|$ is small enough.Comment: Submitted for publicatio

On growth of the number of determinants with restricted entries

Let $A$ be a finite subset of a field $\mathbb{F}$ and $D_n(A)$ be a set of all matrices with entries in $A$, namely $$D_n(A)=\{D\in \mathbb{F}\ |\ \exists a_{ij}\in A, 1 \le i,j \le n, \det\bigl((a_{ij})\bigr)=D\},$$ where the symbol $(a_{ij})$ defines the matrix with elements $a_{ij}$. How big is the size of the set $D_n(A)$ comparing to the size of the set $A$

Expanding phenomena over higher dimensional matrix rings

In this paper, we study the expanding phenomena in the setting of higher dimensional matrix rings. More precisely, we obtain a sum-product estimate for large subsets and show that x+yz, x(y+z) are moderate expanders over the matrix ring, and xy + z + t is strong expander over the matrix rings. These results generalize recent results of Y.D. Karabulut, D. Koh, T. Pham, C-Y. Shen, and the second listed author.Comment: Available Online in Journal of Number Theory, 21 page
