We exhibit a Cayley-Hamilton trace identity for $2\times2$ matrices with entries in a ring $R$ satisfying $[[x,y],[x,z]]=0$ and 1/2 \in R$.
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…
Let $F$ be a finite field of $char F > 3$ and $sl_{2}(F)$ be the Lie algebra of traceless $2\times 2$ matrices over $F$. In this paper, we find a basis for the $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-graded identities of $sl_{2}(F)$.
We work to find a basis of graded identities for the octonion algebra. We do so for the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2^3$ gradings, both of them derived of the Cayley-Dickson process, the later grading being possible only when the…
We consider certain functional identities on the matrix algebra $M_n$ that are defined similarly as the trace identities, except that the "coefficients" are arbitrary polynomials, not necessarily those expressible by the traces. The main…
We prove that the m-generated Grassmann algebra can be embedded into a 2^{m-1}x2^{m-1} matrix algebra over a factor of a commutative polynomial algebra in m indeterminates. Cayley-Hamilton and standard identities for nxn matrices over the…
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…
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…
In this expository paper, various properties of matrix traces, determinants and adjugate matrices are proved, including the *trace Cayley-Hamilton theorem*, which says that \[ kc_k + \sum_{i=1}^k \operatorname{Tr} (A^i) c_{k-i} = 0 \qquad…
The aim of this paper is to prove a Cayley-Hamilton-Ziebur Theorem for non-autonomous semilinear matrix differential equations. Moreover, we show the applicability of results like these to ODE theory.
Let $F$ be a finite field with the characteristic $p > 2$ and let $G$ be the unitary Grassmann algebra generated by an infinite dimensional vector space $V$ over $F$. In this paper, we determine a basis for $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-graded…
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.
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…
We consider the algebra $E\otimes E$ over an infinite field equipped with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-grading where the canonical basis is homogeneous and prove that in various cases the graded identites are just the ordinary ones. If the grading is a…
We construct classes of $Z_2 \times Z_2$-graded Lie algebras corresponding to the classical Lie algebras, in terms of their defining matrices. For the $Z_2 \times Z_2$-graded Lie algebra of type $A$, the construction coincides with the…
For a family of the orthogonal $O(k)$ type Quantum Matrix algebras we establish an analogue of the Cayley--Hamilton theorem. The form of the Cayley-Hamilton identity is different in three cases. First, the cases of odd ($k=2\ell -1$) and…

Starting from a mistake done by a student, we discover an unexpected method of finding both eigenvectors for a $2\times2$ matrix with distinct eigenvalues in a single computation. We discuss a connection with the Cayley-Hamilton theorem,…
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…
