讲座内容：
A classical openproblem in ring theory is to characterize the integral domains R suchthat every singular matrix over R is a product of idempotent matrices. Theimportance of this problem is underlined by the inter-connections with otherbig unsolved questions: Classify integral domains whose general linear groupsare generated by the elementary matrices and those verifying “weaker” versionsof
the Euclideanalgorithm. In fact, over a Bézout domain, every singular matrix can be writtenas a product of idempotent factors ifand only if every invertible matrix can be written as a product of elementary matrices. Moreover, this happens if and only if the domain admits a weak algorithm.
In our talk, we will give an overview ofclassical results and recent developments on the factorization of matrices intoidempotents. In particular, we will consider products of idempotent matricesover special classes of non-Euclidean principal ideal domains and over integraldomains that are not Bézout.
