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.
