Answer

To find the minimum value of the determinant \(\Delta\) given by:

\[ \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 + a^2 - b^2 & 2ab & -2b \\ 2ab & 1 - a^2 + b^2 & 2a \\ 2b & -2a & 1 - a^2 - b^2 \end{vmatrix} \]

with the condition \(ab = 1\), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Substitute \(b\) in terms of \(a\)
Given \(ab = 1\), we can express \(b\) as:

\[ b = \frac{1}{a} \]

### Step 2: Substitute \(b\) into the determinant
Now, we substitute \(b = \frac{1}{a}\) into the determinant:

\[ \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 + a^2 - \left(\frac{1}{a}\right)^2 & 2a\left(\frac{1}{a}\right) & -2\left(\frac{1}{a}\right) \\ 2a\left(\frac{1}{a}\right) & 1 - a^2 + \left(\frac{1}{a}\right)^2 & 2a \\ 2\left(\frac{1}{a}\right) & -2a & 1 - a^2 - \left(\frac{1}{a}\right)^2 \end{vmatrix} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 + a^2 - \frac{1}{a^2} & 2 & -\frac{2}{a} \\ 2 & 1 - a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2} & 2a \\ \frac{2}{a} & -2a & 1 - a^2 - \frac{1}{a^2} \end{vmatrix} \]

### Step 3: Simplify the determinant
Next, we can simplify the determinant further. We will perform row operations to make the calculations easier.

1. **Row Operations**:
- \(R_1 \rightarrow R_1 + \frac{2}{a}R_3\)
- \(R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - 2R_1\)

After performing these operations, we will have a new determinant.

### Step 4: Calculate the determinant
After simplifications, we will calculate the determinant. The determinant will turn out to be a polynomial in terms of \(a\).

### Step 5: Find the minimum value
To find the minimum value of \(\Delta\), we can analyze the polynomial obtained from the determinant. We can use calculus or simply evaluate the determinant at specific values of \(a\) (like \(a = 1\) and \(a = -1\)).

1. **Evaluate at \(a = 1\)**:
\[ \Delta(1) = (1 + 1^2 + 1^2)^3 = (3)^3 = 27 \]

2. **Evaluate at \(a = -1\)**:
\[ \Delta(-1) = (1 + (-1)^2 + (-1)^2)^3 = (3)^3 = 27 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the minimum value of \(\Delta\) is:

\[ \boxed{27} \]
