Abstract

Consider the polynomial tr(A+tB)mtr (A + tB)^m in tt for positive hermitian matrices AA and BB with mNm \in \N. The Bessis-Moussa-Villani conjecture (in the equivalent form of Lieb and Seiringer) states that this polynomial has nonnegative coefficients only. We prove that they are at least asymptotically positive, for the nontrivial case of AB0AB \neq 0. More precisely, we show that the kk-th coefficient is positive for all integer mm0m \geq m_0, where m0m_0 depends on AA, BB and kk.
