SEEMOUS 2010 Problem 4

    Suppose that AA and BB are n×nn\times n matrices with integer entries, and det⁡B≠0\det B\ne0 . Prove that there exists m∈Nm\in\mathbb N such that the product AB−1AB^{-1} can be represented as AB−1=∑k=1mNk−1,AB^{-1}=\sum_{k=1}^mN_k^{-1}, where NkN_k are n×nn\times n matrices with integer entries for all k=1,…,mk=1,\ldots,m , and Ni≠NjN_i\ne N_j for i≠ji\ne j .
