On integral similitude matrices
Journal article, 2009

We study integral similitude 3 x 3-matrices and those positive integers which occur as products of their row elements, when matrices are symmetric with the same numbers in each row. It appears that integers for which nontrivial matrices of this type exist define elliptic curves of nonzero rank and are closely related to generalized cubic Fermat equations.
