Lie's Trace Formula
This file proves the formula `det (exp A) = exp (tr A)` for matrices, also known as Lie's trace formula.
The proof proceeds by first showing the formula for upper-triangular matrices and then leveraging Schur triangulation to generalize to any matrix. An upper-triangular matrix `A` is defined in `mathlib` as `Matrix.BlockTriangular A id`.
