Group inverse for two classes of \(2\times 2\) block matrices over rings (Q2514063)

The manuscript deals with the group inverse for particular classes of matrices over rings. A square matrix \(A\) is said to be group invertible if there exists a matrix \(X\), denoted by \(X=A^{\sharp}\), such that \[ AXA=A, \;\;XAX=X \;\;\text{and} \;\;AX=XA. \] In this paper, the authors obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the group inverse of two classes of \(2 \times 2\) block matrices over an associative ring \(R\). In addition, the representations of the group inverse of two classes are given. The studied classes are the following: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize} \item(1) \(M=\left( \begin{matrix} AX+YB & A \\ B & 0 \end{matrix} \right)\), where \(A, B, X, Y \in R^{n \times n}\), \(A^{\sharp}\) exists, \(XA=AX\) and \(X\) is invertible. \item (2) \(M=\left( \begin{matrix} A & B \\ C & D \end{matrix} \right)\), where \(A \in R^{n \times n}\), \(D \in R^{m \times m}\), \(CA=C\), \(AB=B\) and \((D-CB)^{\sharp}\) exists. \end{itemize}}
