Abstract

We give a finite criterion for total sign skew symmetry of integer matrices of order three.

Provenance statement

The main results of this paper were generated in a single conversation with GPT-6-Astra-Pro. Codex was subsequently used to reconstruct the LaTeX source from the supplied manuscript, revise its exposition, and check the displayed calculations and proof dependencies. Uploading this paper to this platform does not mean that I claim ownership or copyright over it. My sole intention is to share this AI-generated solution and make it available for independent review.
