3 Laplace s and Leibnitz s formula Let A be an n n matrix over a field F. Then deta = = n a ij C ij i=1 n ( 1) i+j a ij M ij i=1 where C ij is cofactor of a ij and M ij is the (ij)-th minor of A. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 3
4 Laplace s and Leibnitz s formula Let A be an n n matrix over a field F. Then deta = σ S n sign(σ) n i=1 a iσ(i) This formula probably has its roots in Cramer s Rule type solutions to a linear system Ax = b. Remark: This formula makes sense even if F is a commutative ring. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 4
5 Properties of determinants 1. det(ab) = det A det B 2. If any row/column of A is a linear combination of the remaining rows/columns of A then det A = If B is a matrix obtained by interchanging any two rows or columns of matrix A then det A = det B 4. det(ka) = k n det(a), for any k F 5. det A = deta T 6. deta 1 = (deta) 1 Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 5
6 Properties of determinants Remarks: The proofs of properties 1, 2 and 3 are usually via the defining formulae. They are somewhat hard and unilluminating. The invariant or geometric definition we are going to see makes the proofs of these a triviality. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 6
7 Determinant of a linear operator We know that determinants of similar matrices are equal. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 7
8 Determinant of a linear operator We know that determinants of similar matrices are equal. If f is a linear operator on a vector space V the following is well defined det f = det (matrix of f with respect to any basis B of V) Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 7
9 Determinant of a linear operator We know that determinants of similar matrices are equal. If f is a linear operator on a vector space V the following is well defined det f = det (matrix of f with respect to any basis B of V) The above definition does not tell us which property of f is captured by detf Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 7
10 A dilemmatic example Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 8
11 Volume in euclidean spaces Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 9
12 Abst. vol. functions in vector spaces Let V be a vector space over a field F. Define a k-volume function as a function µ : V k F which satisfies 1. µ is k-linear 2. µ is alternating i.e. µ(a 1,a 2,...,a k ) = 0,whenevera i = a j fori j, 1 i,j k Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 10
13 Abst. vol. functions in vector spaces Let V be a vector space over a field F. Define a k-volume function as a function µ : V k F which satisfies 1. µ is k-linear 2. µ is alternating i.e. µ(a 1,a 2,...,a k ) = 0,whenevera i = a j fori j, 1 i,j k µ is alternating µ is skew symmetric. If {a i } k i=1 is a linearly dependent set then µ(a 1,...,a k ) = 0 Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 10
14 Abst. vol. functions in vector spaces Note that if σ S k, the symmetric group over k symbols, then µ(a σ(1),a σ(2),...,a σ(k) ) = sign(σ)µ(a 1,a 2,...,a k ) Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 11
15 Abst. vol. functions in vector spaces Note that if σ S k, the symmetric group over k symbols, then µ(a σ(1),a σ(2),...,a σ(k) ) = sign(σ)µ(a 1,a 2,...,a k ) Let dimv = n. For any k N, define Λ k (V) = {µ : V k F : µisk linearandalternating} Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 11
16 Abst. vol. functions in vector spaces Note that if σ S k, the symmetric group over k symbols, then µ(a σ(1),a σ(2),...,a σ(k) ) = sign(σ)µ(a 1,a 2,...,a k ) Let dimv = n. For any k N, define Λ k (V) = {µ : V k F : µisk linearandalternating} It can be verified that Λ k (V) is a vector space over F and dimλ k (V) = ( n k ) ifk n 0 if k > n Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 11
17 Determinant using volume functions Since Λ n (V) is one dimensional, any two (non zero) volume functions on V are multiples of each other. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 12
18 Determinant using volume functions Since Λ n (V) is one dimensional, any two (non zero) volume functions on V are multiples of each other. Let f : V V be a linear transformation and {b i } n i=1 a basis of V. Pick any 0 µ Λn (V). Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 12
19 Determinant using volume functions Since Λ n (V) is one dimensional, any two (non zero) volume functions on V are multiples of each other. Let f : V V be a linear transformation and {b i } n i=1 a basis of V. Pick any 0 µ Λn (V). Observation: The number µ(f(b 1 ),...,f(b n )) µ(b 1,...,b n ) is independent of both the choice of basis and the choice of µ. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 12
20 Geometric defn. of the det. function So define det f as det f = µ(f(b 1),...,f(b n )) µ(b 1,...,b n ) using any basis {b i } n i=1 µ Λ n (V) of V and any nonzero Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 13
21 Geometric defn. of the det. function So define det f as det f = µ(f(b 1),...,f(b n )) µ(b 1,...,b n ) using any basis {b i } n i=1 µ Λ n (V) of V and any nonzero Remark: The above definition is faithful to the interpretation of determinant of a linear transformation as "volume expansion factor" Note that if h is a singular transformation, then det h = 0. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 13
22 Consistency with known defn. Given n vectors b 1,...,b n in V, write them as a column B. Express the entries in terms of the standard basis E via B = CE. The usual determinant of the matrix C can be viewed as the value of µ(b 1,...,b n ) for an element µ in Λ n (V). Using this one can prove consistency. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 14
23 Determinant of a composition If f or g is singular then g f is singular and det f = 0 or detg = 0 and det g f = 0. So det(g f) = det g det f. Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 15
24 Determinant of a composition If f or g is singular then g f is singular and det f = 0 or detg = 0 and det g f = 0. So det(g f) = det g det f. If f and g are nonsingular then det(g f) = µ(g f(b 1),...,g f(b n ) µ(b 1,...,b n ) = µ(g(f(b 1)),...,g(f(b n )) µ(f(b 1 ),...,f(b n ) µ(f(b 1 ),...,f(b n )) µ(b 1,...,b n ) = det g det f Invariant Determinants and Differential Forms p. 15
