For i in [n], sending a pair (j, tau) with j in [n] and tau a permutation of [n-1] to the permutation of [n] that maps i to j and acts as tau through the deletion index maps is a bijection onto the permutations of [n], and it multiplies the sign by (-1)^(i+j).
In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let with , let , the difference, which lies in by The Index Map Skipping One Element of [n] §difference, and let , with and as in Intervals of Natural Numbers §segment, the sets and of permutations of and of , whose elements are maps as in Permutations of a Set and the Set of Permutations of [n] §membership, the sign on and on , for every the deletion index map , and the powers in , , as in Commutative Rings, Fields and Ordered Fields: Standard Notation §rings.
