Feb 11, 2012 at 16:26 comment added Angelo I opened a meta discussion on this question.
Feb 11, 2012 at 15:12 comment added Angelo $\mathop{\rm Det} (A^i) = (\mathop{\rm Det} A)^i$.

Feb 11, 2012 at 14:26 comment added Marc Palm I guess the OP was searching for $f( Tr(A), Tr(A^2), \dots ) =Det(A)$

Feb 11, 2012 at 14:10 comment added Turbo Ok I think you guys misunbderstood Now I see.
Feb 11, 2012 at 14:09 comment added Angelo Of course there can't be such an $f_n$, and if you had actually understood what Florian told you would see it. I voted to close.
Feb 11, 2012 at 14:04 comment added Turbo But is there an explicit $f_{n}$ and $g_{n}$ for each $n \in \mathbb{N}$?
Feb 11, 2012 at 13:55 comment added Florian Eisele What do you mean by "convert"? Obviously there can be no function such that $f(Tr(A))=Det(A)$ or $g(Det(A))=Tr(A)$ for all matrices $A$, since one can prescribe values for both trace and determinant simultaniously.
