Factor . The determinant expansion near the identity is
the linear terms in the permutation formula come from choosing one diagonal increment and all remaining identity entries. Therefore
The required Fréchet derivative is the linear functional
The quadratic remainder proves full differentiability, rather than only the existence of each directional derivative. This is the derivative of the determinant.
