   The other main candidate instead of Det(A) which is the discriminant of the   
   polynomial is a straight forward generalisation of the determinant.   
   Contracting 2 copies of A with Levi-Cevita symbols.    
      
   det0(A) = A^{abcd}A^{efgh}ε_{ae}ε_{bf}ε_{cg}ε_{dh} /2   
      
   = ae-4bd + 3c^2   
      
   Thus if we can do the integral we could find out which one is more likely.
