$D(N)$-quadruples in upper-triangular $2\times2$ integer matrices
We introduce analogues of Diophantine $D(N)$-$m$-tuples in the noncommutative ring $M_2(\mathbb Z)$ of $2\times2$ integer matrices. Besides definitions based on the standard matrix product, we consider a symmetric version defined via the Jordan product $$A\circ B=\frac12(AB+BA).$$ Special attention is devoted to upper-...
