The properties of matrices \(\alpha I+\beta J\) and some related problems (Q1124656)

Let F be a field, \(\nu\geq 2\) an integer, \(I_{\nu}\) the identity matrix and \(J_{\nu}\) the all-one matrix of order \(\nu\). Let \({\mathcal D}=\{\alpha I_{\nu}+\beta J_{\nu}\in GL_{\nu}(F):\) \(\alpha\),\(\beta\in F\}\) and \({\mathcal C}=\{C\in GL_{\nu}(F):\) the row-sums and the column-sums of C are all equal\(\}\). The paper studies (1) the center and the centralizer of \({\mathcal C}\), (2) the centralizer and the normalizer of \({\mathcal D}\) in the case of \(\nu =2\) and (3) the orders of \({\mathcal D}\), \({\mathcal C}\) and the normalizer of \({\mathcal D}\).
