Abstract

Let PP be an mm-homogeneous polynomial in nn-complex variables x1,,xnx_1, \dotsc, x_n. Clearly, PP has a unique representation in the form \begin{equation*} P(x)= \sum_{1 \leq j_1 \leq \dotsc \leq j_m \leq n} c_{(j_1, \dotsc, j_m)} \, x_{j_1} \dotsb x_{j_m} \,, \end{equation*} and the mm"~form \begin{equation*} L_P(x^{(1)}, \dotsc, x^{(m)})= \sum_{1 \leq j_1 \leq \dotsc \leq j_m \leq n} c_{(j_1, \dotsc, j_m)} \, x^{(1)}_{j_1} \dotsb x^{(m)}_{j_m} \end{equation*} satisfies LP(x,,x)=P(x)L_P(x,\dotsc, x) = P(x) for every xCnx\in\mathbb{C}^n. We show that, although LPL_P in general is non-symmetric, for a large class of reasonable norms \lVert \cdot \rVert on Cn\mathbb{C}^n the norm of LPL_P on (Cn,)m(\mathbb{C}^n, \lVert \cdot \rVert )^m up to a logarithmic term (clogn)m2(c \log n)^{m^2} can be estimated by the norm of PP on (Cn,) (\mathbb{C}^n, \lVert \cdot \rVert ); here c1c \ge 1 denotes a universal constant. Moreover, for the p\ell_p"~norms p \lVert \cdot \rVert_p, 1p<21 \leq p < 2 the logarithmic term in the number nn of variables is even superfluous.
