Abstract

Let V be a vector space over an arbitrary field \(\mathbb{k}\). We write \(V ^{\otimes n}\stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}V \otimes V \otimes \,\cdots \, \otimes V\) for the tensor product of n copies of V and call it the n th tensor power of V.

Recall that the zero set of this form in \(\mathbb{P}(V )\) is the hyperplane intersecting the quadric \(Z(f) \subset \mathbb{P}(V )\) along its apparent contour viewed from v.

Though the last two curves are given by their affine equations within the standard chart \(U_{0} \subset \mathbb{P}_{2}\), the points at infinity should also be taken into account.

That is, a triple of rational functions \(x_{0}(t),x_{1}(t),x_{2}(t) \in \mathbb{k}(t)\) such that f(x 0(t), x 1(t), x 2(t)) = 0 in \(\mathbb{k}(t)\), where \(f \in \mathbb{k}[x_{0},x_{1},x_{2}]\) is the equation of the curve.

This is clear if the identity in question expresses some basis-independent properties of the linear operator but not its matrix in some specific basis.

Even for the diagonal matrices with distinct eigenvalues, because the conjugation classes of these matrices are dense in \(\mathrm{Mat}_{n}(\mathbb{C})\) as well.

Note that the decomposition of a Grassmannian polynomial into a sum of decomposable monomials is highly nonunique.
