Minors of Symmetric and Exterior Powers

چکیده
We describe some of the determinantal ideals attached to symmetric, exterior and tensor powers of a matrix. The methods employed use elements of Zariski's theory of complete ideals and of representation theory. Let R be a commutative ring. The determinantal ideals attached to matrices with entries in R play ubiquitous roles in the study of the syzygies of R{modules. In this note, we describe some of the determinantal ideals attached to symmetric, exterior and tensor powers of a matrix. The methods employed use elements of Zariski's theory of complete ideals and of representation theory, the results being sharper for rings containing the rationals. Let R be an integral domain (or a eld) and ' : R ! R anR-linear map of rank r. It is an easy exercise to show that the d-th symmetric power S(') : S(R) ! S(R) has rank r+d 1 d . Let It(') denote the ideal generated by the minors (of a matrix representing '). Since rank' = maxfr : Ir(') 6= 0g; one can immediately determine the radicals of the ideals It(S (')), namely Rad It(S (')) = Rad Ir(') if r + d 1 d t < r + d

متن کاملPositivity of principal minors, sign symmetry and stability
The relation between positivity of principal minors, sign symmetry and stability of matrices is studied. It is shown that for sign symmetric matrices, having positive principal minors is equivalent to stability, to D-stability, and to having a positive scaling into a stable matrix. The relation between spectra of matrices some of whose powers have positive principal minors and matrices whose co...
متن کاملExterior Powers of Symmetric Bilinear Forms
We study exterior powers of classes of symmetric bilinear forms in the WittGrothendieck ring of a field of characteristic not equal to 2, and derive their basic properties. The exterior powers are used to obtain annihilating polynomials for quadratic forms in the Witt ring. 1991 AMS Subject Classification: 11E04, 11E81
متن کاملSymmetric Powers of Symmetric Bilinear Forms
We study symmetric powers of classes of symmetric bilinear forms in the Witt-Grothendieck ring of a field of characteristic not equal to 2, and derive their basic properties and compute their classical invariants. We relate these to earlier results on exterior powers of such forms. 1991 AMS Subject Classification: 11E04, 11E81
