  Abstract:
Let μm be the group of m-th roots of unity. In this paper it is shown that if m is a prime power, then the number of all square matrices (of any order) over μm with non-zero constant determinant or permanent is finite. if m is not a prime power, we construct an infinite family of matrices over μm with determinant one. Also we prove that there is no n×n matrix over μp with vanishing permanent, where p is a prime and n=pα−1.
