Using the natural notion of {\em Hasse--Schmidt derivations on an exterior algebra}, we relate two classical and seemingly unrelated subjects. The first is the celebrated Cayley--Hamilton theorem of linear algebra, "{\em each endomorphism…

The purpose of this short note is to consider multi-variate Hasse-Schmidt derivations on exterior algebras and to show how they easily provide remarkable identities, holding in the algebra of square matrices, which generalise the classical…

We introduce the notion of characteristic function of a quaternionic matrix, whose roots are the left eigenvalues. We prove that for all $2\times 2$ matrices and for $3\times 3$ matrices having some zero entry outside the diagonal there is…

In this paper we use the power of the outer exponential $\Lambda^B$ of a bivector $B$ to see the so-called invariant decomposition from a different perspective. This is deeply connected with the eigenvalues for the adjoint action of $B$, a…

Let $A$ be a semisimple Banach algebra with non-trivial, and possibly infinite-dimensional socle. Addressing a problem raised by Harte and Hernandez, we first define a characteristic polynomial for elements belonging to the socle, and we…

We prove the bivariate Cayley-Hamilton theorem, a powerful generalization of the classical Cayley-Hamilton theorem. The bivariate Cayley-Hamilton theorem has three direct corollaries that are usually proved independently: The classical…

In this note, we use the concept of a polynomial ring to give an elementary proof to Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. We also give an elementary proof to Birkhoff theorem on Bi-stochastic matrices.

This note concerns a one-line diagrammatic proof of the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. We discuss the proof's implications regarding the "core truth" of the theorem, and provide a generalization. We review the notation of trace diagrams and…

We develop a method to construct algebraic invariants for hypermatrices. We then construct hyperdeterminants and exhibit a generalization of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for hypermatrices.

The deep interconnection between linear algebra and graph theory allows one to interpret classical matrix invariants through combinatorial structures. To each square matrix A over a commutative ring K, one can associate a weighted directed…

Starting from the expression for the superdeterminant of (xI-M), where M is an arbitrary supermatrix, we propose a definition for the corresponding characteristic polynomial and we prove that each supermatrix satisfies its characteristic…

By using combinatorics, we give a new proof for the recurrence relations of the characteristic polynomial coefficients, and then we obtain an explicit expression for the generic term of the coefficient sequence, which yields the trace…

If $R$ is a commutative unital ring and $M$ is a unital $R$-module, then each element of $\operatorname{End}_R(M)$ determines a left $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)[X]$-module structure on $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)$, where…

We develop a theory of semialgebra Grassmann triples via Hasse-Schmidt derivations, which formally generalizes results such as the Cayley-Hamilton theorem in linear algebra, thereby providing a unified approach to classical linear algebra…

In this note, the first-order Dickson polynomials are introduced through a particular case of the expression of the trace of the $n^{th}$ power of a matrix in terms of powers of the trace and determinant of the matrix itself. The technique…

Starting from the characteristic polynomial for ordinary matrices we give a combinatorial deduction of the Mandelstam identities and viceversa, thus showing that the two sets of relations are equivalent. We are able to extend this…

The q-generalizations of the two fundamental statements of matrix algebra -- the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and the Newton relations -- to the cases of quantum matrix algebras of an "RTT-" and of a "Reflection equation" types have been…

We present two hypermatrix formulations of the Cayley Hamilton theorem. One of the proposed formulation naturally extends to hypermatrices the combinatorial interpretations of the classical Cayley Hamilton theorem. We conclude by discussing…

Starting from the expression for the superdeterminant of $ (xI-M)$, where $M$ is an arbitrary supermatrix , we propose a definition for the corresponding characteristic polynomial and we prove that each supermatrix satisfies its…

We show how to express any Hasse-Schmidt derivation of an algebra in terms of a finite number of them under natural hypothesis. As an application, we obtain coefficient fields of the completion of a regular local ring of positive…
