Rank, trace and determinant in Banach algebras: generalized Frobenius and Sylvester theorems
As a follow-up to a paper of Aupetit and Mouton (1996), we consider the spectral definitions of rank, trace and determinant applied to elements in a general Banach algebra. We prove a generalization of Sylvester's Determinant Theorem to Banach algebras and thereafter a generalization of the Frobenius inequality.
