Basis-free formulas for characteristic polynomial coefficients in geometric algebras (Q2080194)

The authors study characteristic polynomials in geometric algebras \(\mathcal{G}_{p,q}\) with \(p+q=n\). The characteristic polynomials are defined by isomorphisms between complexified geometric algebras and complex matrix algebras (see [\textit{J. Helmstetter}, Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebr. 29, No. 2, Paper No. 30, 23 p. (2019; Zbl 1428.15008); \textit{D. S. Shirokov}, Comput. Appl. Math. 40, No. 5, Paper No. 173, 29 p. (2021; Zbl 1476.65061)]). In the main result, the authors find a basis-free formulas for all characteristic polynomial coefficients in geometric algebras \(\mathcal{G} _{p,q}\) with \(p+q=5,6\). The main tools for proving these results are operations of conjugation and grade projections. The cases with \(n\leq5\) are considered in the earlier short note [\textit{K. Abdulkhaev} and \textit{D. Shirokov}, ``On explicit formulas for characteristic polynomial coefficients in geometric algebras'', Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 13002, 670--681 (2021; \url{doi:10.1007/978-3-030-89029-2_50})]. The results have applications in computer graphics, computer vision, engineering, and physics.
