Identities of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices in characteristic \(p\) (Q1897576): Difference between revisions

This paper is related to the Konstant-Rowen extension to skew-symmetric matrices of the Amitsur-Levitzki identity. A general method is provided, based on a graph theoretic approach, for deriving extensions of known permanental-type identities to skew-symmetric and symmetric matrices over a commutative ring of prime characteristic.
