If you assume the matrix $A$ is invertible, then $A^{-1} \cdot A = I$. Is there an assumption for invertibility in Mathematica 9? How can one make the following evaluate to the identity matrix $I_3$?
$Assumptions = {Element[A, Matrices[{3, 3}]]}
Inverse[A].A


Tensor*functions. Specifically, pass your result toTensorReduceorTensorExpand. – Mark McClure Feb 20 at 14:54
