Abstract: Let $A=(a_{ij})$ be an $n$-by-$n$ matrix. For any real number $mu$, we define the polynomial ${\displaystyle }$P_mu(A)=sum_{sigmain S_n} a_{1sigma(1)}cdots a_{nsigma(n)},mu^{ell(sigma)}; ,${\displaystyle }$ as the $mu$-permanent of $A$, where $ell(sigma)$ is the number of inversions of the permutation $sigma$ in the symmetric group $S_n$. In this note, we review several less known results of the $mu$-permanent, recalling some of its interesting properties. Some determinantal conjectures are considered and extended to that polynomial. A correction to a previous note is presented as well.
