Shears and equiaffinities
by
Rad Dimitric
University of California at Berkeley

We look into decompositions of affinities GLn(F) and equiaffinities into shears and other special kinds of affine maps. We pay a special attention to the minimal number of factors of such representations. We emphasize geometric aspects of these linear algebra problems.
