Abstract

Let LL be a degree 22 Galois extension of the field KK and MM an n×nn\times n matrix with coefficients in LL. Let  , :Ln×LnL\langle \ ,\ \rangle : L^n\times L^n\to L be the sesquilinear form associated to the involution σ:LL\sigma: L\to L fixing KK. This sesquilinear form defines the numerical range Num(M)\mathrm{Num}(M) of any n×nn\times n matrix over LL. In this paper we study the convexity of Num(M)\mathrm{Num}(M) (under certain assumptions on KK and/or MM). Many of the results are for ordered fields.
