Abstract

As a natural generalization of the Fuglede–Kadison determinant, there is an attempt to extend the concept of the determinant to vector states. In this paper, we present the normalized determinant for a state on a unital C\(^*\)-algebra, and by virtue of the Specht ratio, we show a variant of determinant identity of operator geometric means for the normalized determinant of positive invertible operators. We moreover consider its multi-variable versions. Among others, we show the Karcher mean version and the operator power means one.
