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…

We give combinatorial proofs of two multivariate Cayley--Hamilton type theorems. The first one is due to Phillips (Amer. J. Math., 1919) involving $2k$ matrices, of which $k$ commute pairwise. The second one regards the mixed discriminant,…

Aiming to provide weak as possible axiomatic assumptions in which one can develop basic linear algebra, we give a uniform and integral version of the short propositional proofs for the determinant identities demonstrated over $GF(2)$ in…

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.

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…

An nxn matrix A over an arbitrary unitary ring R satisfies invariant left and right Cayley-Hamilton identities with matrix coefficients C(i), D(i) having commutator sum entries. If R has a grading similar to the case of Grassmann algebras,…

We use the exterior product of double forms to reformulate celebrated classical results of linear algebra about matrices and bilinear forms namely the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, Laplace expansion of the determinant, Newton identities and…

We exhibit explicit expressions, in terms of components, of discriminants, determinants, characteristic polynomials and polynomial identities for matrices of higher rank. We define permutation tensors and in term of them we construct…

A set of multivariate polynomials, over a field of zero or large characteristic, can be tested for algebraic independence by the well-known Jacobian criterion. For fields of other characteristic p>0, there is no analogous characterization…

We demonstrate that the Cayley-Hamilton theorem is a derived consequence of a more fundamental dimensional constraint: the syzygy formed by the tensor product of two Levi-Civita symbols, which vanishes identically in m-dimensional space. By…

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…

Cayley's hyperdeterminant is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 4 in the 8 entries of a 2 x 2 x 2 array. It is the simplest (nonconstant) polynomial which is invariant under changes of basis in three directions. We use elementary facts…

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 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…

A notable result from analysis of Boolean functions is the Basic Invariance Principle (BIP), a quantitative nonlinear generalization of the Central Limit Theorem for multilinear polynomials. We present a generalization of the BIP for…

We prove that general correlation functions of both ratios and products of characteristic polynomials of Hermitian random matrices are governed by integrable kernels of three different types: a) those constructed from orthogonal…
