Abstract

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