Extract

In the paper published in Mathematical Proceedings 79, 393–399, there is a gap in the proof of Theorem 2 which may present a difficulty to the reader. It occurs in the proof of non-degeneracy of the map g in the ring of matrices Zn, where Z is a finite field. Matrices are chosen, the first is diagonal with distinct entries and the others are

When n is larger than the number of elements in Z, then such an x0 does not exist in Zn. The argument can, however, be sustained in the following way.
