Abstract

Let A=(aij) be an n-by-n matrix. For any real number μ, we define the polynomial Pμ(A)=∑σ∈ Sn a1σ(1)⋯ anσ(n) μℓ(σ) , as the μ-permanent of A, where ℓ(σ) is the number of inversions of the permutation σ in the symmetric group Sn. In this note, we review several less known results of the μ-permanent, recalling some of its interesting properties. Some determinantal conjectures are considered and extended to that polynomial. A correction to a previous note is presented as well.
