Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any principal integral domain, any rectangle matrix over the domain, and any rectangular-matrix-columns-dimensional or rectangular-matrix-rows-dimensional square matrix over the domain, the sum of the principal ideals by the specified-dimensional subdeterminants of the product is contained in the sum of the principal ideals by the same-dimensional subdeterminants of the rectangle matrix.

Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
R: { the principal integral domains }
M: { the m x n matrices over R}
N: { the n x n matrices over R}
O: { the m x m matrices over R}
k: N, 1kmin(m,n)
Ik(M): = the sum of the principal ideals by the k -dimensional subdeterminants of M
Ik(MN): = the sum of the principal ideals by the k -dimensional subdeterminants of MN
Ik(OM): = the sum of the principal ideals by the k -dimensional subdeterminants of OM
//

Statements:
Ik(MN)Ik(M)

Ik(OM)Ik(M)
//

As an immediate corollary, Ik(OMN)Ik(M): Ik(OMN)Ik(MN)Ik(M).


2: Natural Language Description


For any principal integral domain, R, any mxn matrix over R, M, any nxn matrix over R, N, any mxm matrix over R, O, any natural number, k, such that 1kmin(m,n), the sum of the principal ideals by the k-dimensional subdeterminants of M, Ik(M), the sum of the principal ideals by the k-dimensional subdeterminants of MN, Ik(MN), and the sum of the principal ideals by the k-dimensional subdeterminants of OM, Ik(OM), Ik(MN)Ik(M) and Ik(OM)Ik(M).


3: Proof


Generally, for any matrix, A, Ik(A) denotes the sum of the principal ideals by the k -dimensional subdeterminants of A.

Hereafter, let us denote the (j,l) component of any matrix, A, as Alj; the l-th column of A as Al; the submatrix of A with the B={r1,...,rk} rows as A(B).

MN=(j1{1,...,n}Mj1N1j1,...,jm{1,...,n}MjmNmjm).

Let us take the kxk submatrix of MN by the B:={r1,...,rk}-th rows and the {c1,...,ck}-columns: it is (j1{1,...,n}M(B)j1Nc1j1,...,jk{1,...,n}M(B)jkNckjk).

Its determinant is |(j1{1,...,n}M(B)j1Nc1j1,...,jk{1,...,n}M(B)jkNckjk)|=j1{1,...,n}Nc1j1|(M(B)j1,...,jk{1,...,n}M(B)jkNckjk)| (because determinant is linear with respect to each column) =...=j1{1,...,n}...jk{1,...,n}Nc1j1...Nckjk|(M(B)j1,...,M(B)jk)|.

When {j1,...,jk} has a duplication, the term is 0; otherwise, the term is a multiple of the kxk subdeterminant of M.

So, each kxk subdeterminant of MN is a linear combination of some kxk subdeterminants of M.

So, while each element of Ik(MN) is a linear combination of the kxk subdeterminants of MN, it is a linear combination of the kxk subdeterminants of M, which means that it is an element of Ik(M).

The set of the kxk subdeterminants of OM equals the set of the kxk subdeterminants of (OM)t, where (OM)t is the transposition of OM, because the transposition of any square matrix has the same determinant with the original matrix. (OM)t=MtOt. Ik(OM)=Ik(MtOt)Ik(Mt)=Ik(M).
