In modern theory two generalizations of linear maps are intensively used: to linear complexes (the nilpotent chains of linear maps) and to non-linear mappings. Accordingly, determinant of a linear map has two generalizations: to determinants of complexes and to resultants. These quantities are in fact related: resultant of a non-linear map is determinant of the corresponding Koszul complex. We give an elementary introduction into these notions and interrelations, which will definitely play a role in the future development of theoretical physics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-11-30T05:43:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "determinant", "elementary introduction", "vector spaces", "corresponding koszul complex", "important characteristic" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s11232-009-0111-6", "journal": "Theoretical and Mathematical Physics", "year": 2009, "month": "Sep", "volume": 160, "number": 3, "pages": 1203 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 806445, "adsabs": "2009TMP...160.1203A" } } }
