Questions where the notion matrix has an important or crucial role (for the latter, note the tag matrix-theory for potential use). Matrices appear in various parts of mathematics, and this tag is typically combined with other tags to make the general subject clear, such as an appropriate top-level tag ra.rings-and-algebras, co.combinatorics, etc. and other tags that might be applicable. There are also several more specialized tags concerning matrices.

Determinant of sum of positive definite matrices
inequality
$$\det(A+B)\geq \det A +\det B$$
is implied by the Minkowski determinant theorem
$$(\det(A+B))^{1/n}\geq (\det A)^{1/n}+(\det B)^{1/n}$$
which holds true for any non-negative $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices … The latter inequality is equivalent to the fact that the function $A\mapsto(\det A )^{1/n}$ is concave on the set of $n\times n$ non-negative Hermitian matrices (see e.g., A Survey of Matrix Theory and …
