Abstract: We show that for every subset $E$ of positive density in the set of integer square-matrices with zero traces, there exists an integer $kgeq1$ such that the set of characteristic polynomials of matrices in $E-E$ contains the set of emph{all} characteristic polynomials of integer matrices with zero traces and entries divisible by $k$. Our theorem is derived from results by Benoist-Quint on measure rigidity for actions on homogeneous spaces.
