Spaces of Lorentzian and real stable polynomials are Euclidean balls

Combinatorics 2023-06-22 v5 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We prove that projective spaces of Lorentzian and real stable polynomials are homeomorphic to closed Euclidean balls. This solves a conjecture of June Huh and the author. The proof utilizes and refines a connection between the symmetric exclusion process in Interacting Particle Systems and the geometry of polynomials.
