Is there a way to define variables as matrices and then perform simplification? For instance, instead of A=var('A') being a scalar variable, can A be defined as a matrix?

These are similar examples of what I am thinking. Is there similar functionality in Sagemath? https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get...https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/...

Use the tensor algebra

sage: R = algebras.Free(QQ,['A','B','C'])
sage: A,B,C = R.gens()
sage: A*B-B*A
A*B - B*A

This is a good idea. However, it doesn't seem to allow for matrix operations like determinant and transpose
