Abstract

Given a tuple E=(E1,,Eg)E=(E_1,\dots,E_g) of d×dd\times d matrices, the collection of those tuples of matrices X=(X1,,Xg)X=(X_1,\dots,X_g) (of the same size) such that EjXj1\| \sum E_j\otimes X_j\|\le 1 is called a spectraball BE\mathcal B_E. Likewise, given a tuple B=(B1,,Bg)B=(B_1,\dots,B_g) of e×ee\times e matrices the collection of tuples of matrices X=(X1,,Xg)X=(X_1,\dots,X_g) (of the same size) such that I+BjXj+BjXj0I + \sum B_j\otimes X_j +\sum B_j^* \otimes X_j^*\succeq 0 is a free spectrahedron DB\mathcal D_B. Assuming EE and BB are irreducible, plus an additional mild hypothesis, there is a free bianalytic map p:BEDBp:\mathcal B_E\to \mathcal D_B normalized by p(0)=0p(0)=0 and p(0)=Ip'(0)=I if and only if BE=BB\mathcal B_E=\mathcal B_B and BB spans an algebra. Moreover pp is unique, rational and has an elegant algebraic representation.
