Supertropical \(\mathrm{SL}_n\). (English) Zbl 1386.15008

Summary: Extending earlier work on supertropical adjoints and applying symmetrization, we provide a symmetric supertropical version \(\mathrm{SLS}_n\) of the special linear group \(\mathrm{SL}_n\), which we partially decompose into submonoids, based on ‘quasi-identity’ matrices, and we display maximal sub-semigroups of \(\mathrm{SLS}_n\). We also study the monoid generated by \(\mathrm{SLS}_n\) and its natural submonoids. Several illustrative examples are given of unexpected behavior. We describe the action of elementary matrices on \(\mathrm{SLS}_n\), which enables one to connect different matrices in \(\mathrm{SLS}_n\), but in a weaker sense than the classical situation.
