First we show, how to calculate determinants of $d \times d$ matrices, if their traces are known. As a next step $4 \times 4$ matrices are expressed in terms of Dirac covariants. The third step is the calculation of the corresponding inverse matrices in terms of Dirac covariants.11 pages, 1 figureHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyTrace evaluation of matrix determinants and inversion of 4 $\times$ 4 matrices in terms of Dirac covariantstext
