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 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…
We consider the set of $n\times n$ matrices with rational entries having numerator and denominator of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of such matrices of a given rank and then apply them to count such…

We derive identities for the determinants of matrices whose entries are (rising) powers of (products of) polynomials that satisfy a recurrence relation. In particular, these results cover the cases for Fibonacci polynomials, Lucas…
The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…
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 problem of complex root classification, i.e., finding the conditions on the coefficients of a univariate polynomial for all possible multiplicity structures on its complex roots. It is well known that such conditions can be…
Matrices of rank at most k are defined by the vanishing of polynomials of degree k + 1 in their entries (namely, their (k + 1)-times-(k + 1)-subdeterminants), regardless of the size of the matrix. We prove a qualitative analogue of this…
Though algebraic geometry over $\mathbb C$ is often used to describe the closure of the tensors of a given size and complex rank, this variety includes tensors of both smaller and larger rank. Here we focus on the $n\times n\times n$…
In this paper, we consider the problem of representing a multivariate polynomial as the determinant of a definite (monic) symmetric/Hermitian linear matrix polynomial (LMP). Such a polynomial is known as determinantal polynomial.…
Tensor polynomial identities generalize the concept of polynomial identities on $d \times d$ matrices to identities on tensor product spaces. Here we completely characterize a certain class of tensor polynomial identities in terms of their…
We outline the construction of differential invariants for higher--rank tensors.
A new family of asymmetric matrices of Walsh-Hadamard type is introduced. We study their properties and, in particular, compute their determinants and discuss their eigenvalues. The invertibility of these matrices implies that certain…
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…
We give new definitions for the determinant over commutative ring $K$, noncommutative ring $\mathbf{K}$, noncommutative ring $\mathcal{K}$ with associative powers, over noncommutative nonassociative ring $\mathfrak{K}$, and study their…
Derivative polynomials in two variables are defined by repeated differentiation of the tangent and secant functions. We establish the connections between the coefficients of these derivative polynomials and the numbers of interior and left…
The discriminant of a multivariate polynomial with indeterminate coefficients is not necessarily a hypersurface, and characterizing its codimension was an open problem for quite a while. We resolve this problem for the discriminants of…
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,…
