Proof of Cayley-Hamilton theorem using polynomials over the algebra of module endomorphisms

Alexey Muranov

Résumé

If $R$ is a commutative unital ring and $M$ is a unital $R$-module, then each element of $\operatorname{End}_R(M)$ determines a left $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)[X]$-module structure on $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)$, where $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)$ is the $R$-algebra of endomorphisms of $M$ and $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)[X] =\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)\otimes_RR[X]$. These structures provide a very short proof of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, which may be viewed as a reformulation of the proof in Algebra by Serge Lang. Some generalisations of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem can be easily proved using the proposed method.
