On the growth of the number of determinants with restricted entries (Q2037732)

This paper is mainly expository and its content is well described in the title. The non degenerate inner product induced by the determinant map on the space of real sized two symmetric matrices (notation: Sym(2)), is considered. This inner product is treated with complex numbers, using the Hopf invariant map of Sym(2), and this approach yields a Heisenberg product on the space. In the last section, new perspectives concerning the Nomizu-Pinkall inner product are also presented.
