Discriminant of a family of vectors #

Given an A-algebra B and b, an ι-indexed family of elements of B, we define the discriminant of b as the determinant of the matrix whose (i j)-th element is the trace of b i * b j.

Main definition #

Main results #

Implementation details #

Our definition works for any A-algebra B, but note that if B is not free as an A-module, then trace A B = 0 by definition, so discr A b = 0 for any b.
