HMA_Connect shows a way to unify (at least parts of) them: it makes explicit that 'a^'n^'m can be seen as a subtype of 'a mat.
This makes it possible to avoid duplications: for example, results about eigenvalues are only proved once for 'a mat and are transferred to the "subtype" 'a^'n^'m. In contrast to that, we do have duplicate developments for determinants, multiplication etc. in isabelle and the AFP. We should be able to get rid of those. Ideally, one would do the developments for 'a^'n^'m, but I am not sure how well theorems can be transferred in that direction...
