Outer and Eigen: Tangent Concepts

Abstract

In this paper we use the power of the outer exponential ΛB\Lambda^B of a bivector BB to see the so-called invariant decomposition from a different perspective. This is deeply connected with the eigenvalues for the adjoint action of BB, a fact that allows a version of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem which factorises the classical theorem (both the matrix version and the geometric algebra version).
