We consider the alternating sign matrices of the odd order that have some kind of central symmetry. Namely, we deal with matrices invariant under the half-turn, quarter-turn and flips in both diagonals. In all these cases, there are two natural structures in the centre of the matrix. For example, for the matrices invariant under the half-turn the central element is equal $pm 1$. It was recently found that $A^+_{HT}(2m+1)/A^-_{HT}(2m+1)$=(m+1)/m. We conjecture that similar very simple relations are valid in the two remaining cases.
It was shown by Kuperberg that the partition function of the square-ice model related to the quarter-turn symmetric alternating-sign matrices of even order is the product of two similar factors. We propose a square-ice model whose states are in bijec

Let $A(n,r;3)$ be the total weight of the alternating sign matrices of order $n$ whose sole `1 of the first row is at the $r^{th}$ column and the weight of an individual matrix is $3^k$ if it has $k$ entries equal to -1. Define the sequence of the ge
Quasi-symmetry of a steady magnetic field means integrability of first-order guiding-centre motion. Here we derive many restrictions on the possibilities for a quasi-symmetry. We also derive an analogue of the Grad-Shafranov equation for the flux fun
The Birkhoffs theorem states that any doubly stochastic matrix lies inside a convex polytope with the permutation matrices at the corners. It can be proven that a similar theorem holds for unitary matrices with equal line sums for prime dimensions.
