Generalization of Scott's Permanent Identity

Abstract. Let x={x1,...,xr}, y={y1,...,yn}, z={z1,...,zn} be three sets of indeterminates. We give the value of the determinant

$\displaystyle \Bigg\vert \prod_{x\in \x} (xy-z)^{-1} \Bigg\vert _{y\in\y,
 z\in\z} $

when specializing y and z to the set of roots of yn-1 and zn-ξn, respectively.
