We compute two parametric determinants in which rows and columns are indexed by compositions, where in one determinant the entries are products of binomial coefficients, while in the other the entries are products of powers. These results…

We prove two results about the derived functor of $a$-adic completion: (1) Let $K$ be a commutative noetherian ring, let $A$ be a flat noetherian $K$-algebra which is $a$-adically complete with respect to some ideal $a\subseteq A$, such…

We give an infinite family of monoids $\Pi_N$ (for $N=2, 3, \dots$), each with a single defining relation of the form $bUa = a$, such that the Dehn function of $\Pi_N$ is at least exponential. More precisely, we prove that the Dehn function…

Let $p$ be a prime and $n$ a positive integer. As the first main result, we present a deterministic algorithm for deciding whether the matrix algebra $\mathbb{F}_p[A_1,\dots,A_t]$ with $A_1,\dots,A_t \in \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{F}_p)$ is a…

We provide a characterization of the almost Gorenstein property of determinantal rings of a symmetric matrix of indeterminates over an infinite field. We give an explicit formula for ranks of the last two modules in the resolution of…

Let $R$ be a ring and let $n\ge 2$. We discuss the question of whether every element in the matrix ring $M_n(R)$ is a product of (additive) commutators $[x,y]=xy-yx$, for $x,y\in M_n(R)$. An example showing that this does not always hold,…

We first give an Oppenheim type determinantal inequality for the Khatri-Rao product of two block positive semidefinite matrices, and then we extend our result to multiple block matrices. As products, the extensions of Oppenheim type…

We present theory for general partial derivatives of matrix functions on the form $f(A(x))$ where $A(x)$ is a matrix path of several variables ($x=(x_1,\dots,x_j)$). Building on results by Mathias [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 17 (1996), pp.…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$ the polynomial ring. The group $\text{SL}_{2}\left(\mathbb{K}[x,y]\right)$ of all matrices with determinant equal to $1$ over $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$…

Derksen proved that the spectral norm is multiplicative with respect to vertical tensor products (also known as tensor Kronecker products). We will use this result to show that the nuclear norm and other norms of interest are also…

A description of the endomorphisms of semidirect products of two groups as a group of $2\times 2$ matrices of maps is already known. Using this description, we have studied the concept of determinant for the endomorphisms of semidirect…

The determinant of an $N \times N$ circulant matrix $M = {\rm CIRC}[x_0, x_1, ..., x_{N-1}$] can be expanded in the form det$ ~M= \sum C_{a_0 a_1 ...a_{N-1}} x_{a_0} x_{a_1}...x_{a_{N-1}}$. By using the generating function of a restricted,…

A new criterion is developed which provides a check as to whether a chosen set of polarization observables is complete with respect to the determination of all independent $T$-matrix elements of a reaction of the type $a+b\to c+d+...$. As…

We evaluate Hankel determinants of matrices in which the entries are generating functions for paths consisting of up-steps, down-steps and level steps with a fixed starting point but variable end point. By specialisation, these determinant…

We extend Deligne's notion of determinant functor to tensor triangulated categories. Specifically, to account for the multiexact structure of the tensor, we define a determinant functor on the 2-multicategory of triangulated categories and…

Suppose a map $\phi$ on the set of positive definite matrices satisfies $\det(A+B)=\det(\phi(A)+\phi(B))$. Then we have $${\rm tr}(AB^{-1}) = {\rm tr}(\phi(A){\phi(B)}^{-1}).$$ Through this viewpoint, we show that $\phi$ is of the form…

We consider the conditions under which the Cayley transform of the Kronecker product of two Hermitian matrices can be again presented as a Kronecker product of two matrices and, if so, if it is a product of the Cayley transforms of the two…

We obtain a condition describing when the quasimodular forms given by the Bloch-Okounkov theorem as $q$-brackets of certain functions on partitions are actually modular. This condition involves the kernel of an operator {\Delta}. We…

In this work, the determinants of matrices constructed by evaluating homogeneous bivariate polynomials at pairs of vectors are investigated. For a polynomial $p(x,y)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^k \alpha_i x^{k-i}y^i$, an explicit factorization of the…

The group $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ of all complex $2\times 2$ matrices with determinant one is closely related to the group $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{L}}_{+}^\uparrow$ of real $4\times 4$ matrices representing the restricted Lorentz transformations.…
