Von Neumann local matrices

Abstract

We use our recent results on von Neumann regular matrices, strongly regular matrices and matrices having a non-zero outer inverse to derive applications to some generalizations of these concepts, called von Neumann local, strongly von Neumann local and outer von Neumann local matrices. Among other properties, we show that the $t^{\rm th}$ compound matrix of every matrix of determinantal rank $t$ over a commutative local ring is strongly von Neumann local, and every matrix over an arbitrary semiperfect ring is outer von Neumann local.
