Exercise 6.1.4

Answers

1.
We prove the formula
A,B = tr(BA) = j=1n(BA) jj = j=1n i=1nB jiA ij
= j=1n i=1nA ijB¯ij = i=1n j=1nA ijB¯ij = i,jAijB¯ij.

So we may view the space Mn×n(𝔽) to be Fn2 and the Frobenius inner product is corresponding to the standard inner product in Fn2 .

2.
Also use the formulae to compute
A = (1 + 5 + 9 + 1)1 2 = 4,
B = (2 + 0 + 1 + 1)1 2 = 2,

and

A,B = (1 i) + 0 3i 1 = 4i.
