A generalized definition of the determinant of matrices is given, which is compatible with the usual determinant for square matrices and keeps many important properties, such as being an alternating multilinear function, keeping…
We study two generalizations of the Pfaffian to non-antisymmetric matrices and derive their properties and relation to each other. The first approach is based on the Wigner normal-form, applicable to conjugate-normal matrices, and retains…
The determinant of an anti-symmetric matrix $g$ is the square of its Pfaffian, which like the determinant is a polynomial in the entries of $g$. Studies of certain super conformal field theories (of class S) suggested a conjectural…
The integral of a function $f$ defined on a symmetric space $M \simeq G/K$ may be expressed in the form of a determinant (or Pfaffian), when $f$ is $K$-invariant and, in a certain sense, a tensor power of a positive function of a single…
We associate with a matrix over an arbitrary field an infinite family of matrices whose sizes vary from one to infinity; their entries are traces of powers of the original matrix. We explicitly evaluate the determinants of matrices in our…
In this paper, we define a braid invariant, the purified determinant $P(b)$ of a braid $b$, considering the determinant of the crossing matrix of a pure braid derived from $b$, and show that $P(b_1 b_2)=P(b_2 b_1)$ for any pair of…
Commutative analogues of Clifford algebras are algebras defined in the same way as Clifford algebras except that their generators commute with each other, in contrast to Clifford algebras in which the generators anticommute. In this paper,…
Under binary matrices we mean matrices whose entries take one of two values. In this paper, explicit formulae for calculating the determinant of some type of binary Toeplitz matrices are obtained. Examples of the application of the…
We consider the problem of writing real polynomials as determinants of symmetric linear matrix polynomials. This problem of algebraic geometry, whose roots go back to the nineteenth century, has recently received new attention from the…
This paper is dedicated to compute Pfaffian and determinant of one type of skew centrosymmetric matrices in terms of general number sequence of second order.
A new matrix operation based on inserting columns and rows, similarly to the mediant operation between fractions, gives rise to the Farey determinants matrix or, equivalently, the matrix of the numerators of the differences of Farey…
We define and study symmetrized and antisymmetrized multivariate exponential functions. They are defined as determinants and antideterminants of matrices whose entries are exponential functions of one variable. These functions are…
To each associative unitary finite-dimensional algebra over a normal base, we associative a canonical multiplicative function called its determinant. We give various properties of this construction, as well as applications to the topology…
The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
Often in mathematics it is useful to summarize a multivariate phenomenon with a single number and in fact, the determinant -- which is represented by det -- is one of the simplest cases. In fact, this number it is defined only for square…
In this paper, we define the OU matrix of a braid diagram and discuss how the OU matrix reflects the warping degree or the layeredness of the braid diagram, and show that the determinant of the OU matrix of a layered braid diagram is the…
Pfaffians of matrices with entries z[i,j]/(x\_i+x\_j), or determinants of matrices with entries z[i,j]/(x\_i-x\_j), where the antisymmetrical indeterminates z[i,j] satisfy the Pl\"ucker relations, can be identified with a trace in an…
An alternating sign matrix is a square matrix with entries 1, 0 and -1 such that the sum of the entries in each row and each column is equal to 1 and the nonzero entries alternate in sign along each row and each column. To some of the…
Bosonic and fermionic statistics are well known to give rise to antinomic behaviors, most notably boson bunching vs fermion antibunching. Here, we establish a fundamental relation that combines bosonic and fermionic multiparticle…
The determinant of a skew-symmetric matrix has a canonical square root given by the Pfaffian. Similarly, the resultant of two reciprocal polynomials of even degree has a canonical square root given by their reciprocant. Computing the…
