Trace theory | Linear algebra | Matrix theory

Trace (linear algebra)

In linear algebra, the trace of a square matrix A, denoted tr(A), is defined to be the sum of elements on the main diagonal (from the upper left to the lower right) of A. The trace is only defined for a square matrix (n × n). It can be proved that the trace of a matrix is the sum of its (complex) eigenvalues (counted with multiplicities). It can also be proved that tr(AB) = tr(BA) for any two matrices A and B. This implies that similar matrices have the same trace. As a consequence one can define the trace of a linear operator mapping a finite-dimensional vector space into itself, since all matrices describing such an operator with respect to a basis are similar. The trace is related to the derivative of the determinant (see Jacobi's formula). (Wikipedia).

Trace of an Operator and of a Matrix

Trace of an operator defined to be the sum of the eigenvalues (or of the eigenvalues of the complexification), repeated according to multiplicity. Trace of a matrix defined to be the sum of the squares of the diagonal enties. The connection between these two notions of trace.

Galois theory: Norm and trace

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We define the norm and trace of a finite extension of fields. We give some examples of calculating the image of the norm map, and show how to use the norm and trace to find rings of algebraic integers.
