Leibniz formula.
detA=σ∈Sn∑ε(σ)i=1∏naσ(i),i.
Transpose. The entry (i,j) of AT is aji. So
det(AT)=σ∈Sn∑ε(σ)i=1∏nai,σ(i).
Since ∏i=1nai,σ(i)=∏j=1naσ−1(j),j (reindexing j=σ(i)), and ε(σ−1)=ε(σ) (since ε is a group homomorphism and σσ−1=e), we can rewrite:
det(AT)=σ∑ε(σ−1)j∏aσ−1(j),j=τ∑ε(τ)j∏aτ(j),j=detA,
where the last change of variables is τ=σ−1.
Conclusion. det(AT)=detA. In particular, properties of columns hold for rows too.
