What is the “determinant” of two vectors?

$begingroup$


I came across the notation $det(v,w)$ where $v$ and $w$ are vectors. Specifically, it was about the curvature of a plane curve:



$$kappa (t) = frac{det(gamma'(t), gamma''(t)) }{|gamma'(t)|^3}$$



What is it supposed to mean?

    Are they 2D vectors? You may want to see this section of the Wikipedia article on Curvature. As you should be able to see from there, $color{blue}{det(v,w)}$ means $color{blue}{det begin{pmatrix} v_1 & w_1 \ v_2 & w_2end{pmatrix}}$.

They formed a matrix by stacking $gamma'(t)$ and $gamma''(t)$ next to each other as column vectors. You can also regard it as the cross product of the two vectors if you extend both with a $z=0$ coordinate and take the z component of the resulting vector (that way you can relate it to the 3d formula in a way).

    In general, the determinant of $n$ vectors $v_1$, $v_2$, $dots$, $v_n$ in $mathbb R^n$ is the determinant of the matrix whose columns are $v_1$, $dots$, $v_n$ (in that order).



    Seen as an application whose inputs are vectors, the determinant has nice properties:




    1. multilinear, that is linear in each variable:
      $$det(v_1,dots, a v_j+b w_j,dots,v_n)
      =
      a det(v_1,dots, v_j,dots,v_n)
      + bdet(v_1,dots, w_j,dots,v_n)$$


    2. alternating: switching two vectors transforms the determinant in its opposite



    $$det(v_1,dots, v_i, dots, v_j,dots,v_n) = det(v_1,dots, v_j, dots, v_i,dots,v_n)$$




    1. The value on the canonical basis $(e_1,dots,e_n)$ of $mathbb R^n$ is $1$.


    $$det(e_1,dots,e_n) = 1 $$



    Actually, it can be proved that the determinant is the unique alternating multilinear form whose value on the canonical basis is $1$. Many (most?) Linear Algebra books use this as a definition of the determinant (before extending the definition to matrices and then linear applications). I think it is equivalent but more satisfying than introducing the determinant by the strange "expansion along a row" formula most PreCalculus textbook use.

    $begingroup$

    Sometimes determinant of $n$ by $n$ matrix is defined as an alternating $n$-linear form; it assigns a number to each $n$-tuple of vectors $(v_1,v_2,cdots, v_n)$ following the axioms that




    1. For each $i=1,2,cdots, n$, the map $v_imapsto det(v_1,cdots,v_i,cdots, v_n)$ is linear.


    2. $det(v_1,cdots,v_i,cdots,v_j,cdots,v_n)=-det(v_1,cdots,v_j,cdots,v_i,cdots,v_n)$ for each $ine j$


    3. $det(e_1,e_2,cdots,e_n)=1$ where $(e_i)_{i=1}^n$ is the standard basis.



    Following this notation, we have that
    $$begin{align*}
    det(v,w)&=det(v_1e_1+v_2e_2,w_1e_1+w_2e_2)
    \=&v_1w_1det(e_1,e_1)+v_1w_2det(e_1,e_2)\&+v_2w_1det(e_2,e_1)+v_2w_2det(e_2,e_2)\=&v_1w_2det(e_1,e_2)-v_2w_1det(e_1,e_2)\=&v_1w_2-v_2w_1\=&left|begin{array}{cc}v_1 &w_1\v_2&w_2end{array}right|,
    end{align*}$$     so it is not different from the determinant of the matrix $left[begin{array}{cc}v_1 &w_1\v_2&w_2end{array}right]$ formed by letting $v,w$ as its columns.

              Sometimes determinant of $n$ by $n$ matrix is defined as an alternating $n$-linear form; it assigns a number to each $n$-tuple of vectors $(v_1,v_2,cdots, v_n)$ following the axioms that




              1. For each $i=1,2,cdots, n$, the map $v_imapsto det(v_1,cdots,v_i,cdots, v_n)$ is linear.


              2. $det(v_1,cdots,v_i,cdots,v_j,cdots,v_n)=-det(v_1,cdots,v_j,cdots,v_i,cdots,v_n)$ for each $ine j$


              3. $det(e_1,e_2,cdots,e_n)=1$ where $(e_i)_{i=1}^n$ is the standard basis.



              Following this notation, we have that
              $$begin{align*}
              det(v,w)&=det(v_1e_1+v_2e_2,w_1e_1+w_2e_2)
              \=&v_1w_1det(e_1,e_1)+v_1w_2det(e_1,e_2)\&+v_2w_1det(e_2,e_1)+v_2w_2det(e_2,e_2)\=&v_1w_2det(e_1,e_2)-v_2w_1det(e_1,e_2)\=&v_1w_2-v_2w_1\=&left|begin{array}{cc}v_1 &w_1\v_2&w_2end{array}right|,
              end{align*}$$               so it is not different from the determinant of the matrix $left[begin{array}{cc}v_1 &w_1\v_2&w_2end{array}right]$ formed by letting $v,w$ as its columns.

                      Knooppunt Holsloot Kenmerken Wegen A37 × N34 Type knooppunt klaverblad Portaal     Verkeer & Vervoer Knooppunt Holsloot is een verkeersknooppunt op de kruising van de autosnelweg A37 en de N34 in Drenthe, tussen Emmen en Coevorden. Oorspronkelijk was deze aansluiting een afritconstructie van het type Haarlemmermeeraansluiting, zoals bij Knooppunt Hooipolder. Sinds 2002 is het knooppunt omgebouwd tot een volledig klaverblad. Als noviteit werd hier voor het eerst gebruikgemaakt van dimbare verlichting in plaats van de normale vaste tijden waarop de verlichting aan en uit gaat, wat een grote kostenbesparing opleverde. [1] Dat Holsloot als volwaardig knooppunt is uitgevoerd, waarbij alle verkeersstromen en afbuigingen ononderbroken kunnen doorgaan, is uitzonderlijk. Het betreft hier namelijk een aansluiting tussen een autosnelweg en niet-snelweg. Een vergelijkbare situatie treft men nabij Hoensbroek bij het knooppunt Ten Esschen.     Aa

                      Een afbeelding van de Gregoriusmis uit een getijdenboek gemaakt in de zuidelijke Nederlanden tussen 1500 en 1525 Gregoriusmis, Meester van het Akense Altaar, ca. 1500-1525. Collectie Museum Catharijneconvent De Gregoriusmis of de Mis van Sint Gregorius is een motief in katholieke kunst, dat het eerst verscheen in de late Middeleeuwen en dat nog steeds werd gebruikt tijdens de contrareformatie. Paus Gregorius I (ca. 540-604) is afgebeeld, de H. Mis opdragend, terwijl Christus als de Man van Smarten verschijnt op het altaar dat voor Sint Gregorius staat. Volgens de legende had St. Gregorius gebeden om een teken voor een betwijfelaar van de transsubstantiatieleer, waarop de lijdende Christus tijdens het opdragen van de Mis verscheen om hem te overtuigen en waarbij zijn bloed in de altaarkelk liep. Vaak zijn ook de passiewerktuigen afgebeeld. Zie de categorie Mass of Saint Gregory van Wikimedia Commons voor mediabestanden over dit onderwerp. This page is onl
