$2\times2$ matrix polynomials of the form $P_{n}(z)= \Sigma^{n}_{j=0}\,\sigma_{j}\,z^{j}$, for the cases $n=1,2,3$ are constructed, and the nature of PT-symmetry is examined across different points $z=(x,y)$ in the complex plane. The…
In this paper we consider the integral orthogonal group with respect to the quadratic form of signature $(2,3)$ given by $\left(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\right) \perp \left(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0…
Let G be the group of all formal power series starting with x with coefficients in a field k of zero characteristic (with the composition product), and let F[G] be its function algebra. C. Brouder and A. Frabetti introduced a…
The plethystic transformation $f[X] \mapsto f[X/(1-t)]$ and LLT polynomials are central to the theory of symmetric Macdonald polynomials. In this work, we introduce and study nonsymmetric flagged LLT polynomials. We show that these admit…
In this chapter we present the sums of Hermitian squares approach to noncommutative polynomial optimization problems. This is an extension of the sums of squares approach for polynomial optimization arising from real algebraic geometry. We…
Consider the ring $\mathcal{S}$ of symmetric polynomials in $k$ variables over an arbitrary base ring $\mathbf{k}$. Fix $k$ scalars $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{k}\in\mathbf{k}$. Let $I$ be the ideal of $\mathcal{S}$ generated by…
Given a separable nonconstant polynomial $f(x)$ with integer coefficients, we consider the set $S$ consisting of the squarefree parts of all the rational values of $f(x)$, and study its behavior modulo primes. Fixing a prime $p$, we…
We prove a structural result for degree-$d$ polynomials. In particular, we show that any degree-$d$ polynomial, $p$ can be approximated by another polynomial, $p_0$, which can be decomposed as some function of polynomials $q_1,...,q_m$ with…
Among all states on the algebra of non-commutative polynomials, we characterize the ones that have monic orthogonal polynomials. The characterizations involve recursion relations, Hankel-type determinants, and a representation as a joint…
It is well known that an element of the algebra of noncommutative *-polynomials is positive in all *-representations if and only if it is a sum of squares. This provides an effective way to determine if a given *-polynomial is positive, by…
A univariate polynomial f over a field is decomposable if f = g o h = g(h) for nonlinear polynomials g and h. It is intuitively clear that the decomposable polynomials form a small minority among all polynomials over a finite field. The…
Let $p$ be a prime. We complete the classification on pointed Hopf algebras of dimension $p^2$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. When $\text{char}k \neq p$, our result is the same as the well-known result for $\text{char}k=0$. When…
Let $H_k$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\geq 2$ for the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$, and let $j\geq 3$ be any fixed integer. For $f\in H_k$, we write $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}^j…
Given a real univariate degree $d$ polynomial $P$, the numbers $pos_k$ and $neg_k$ of positive and negative roots of $P^{(k)}$, $k=0$, $\ldots$, $d-1$, must be admissible, i.e. they must satisfy certain inequalities resulting from Rolle's…
Nonnegative tensor factorization has applications in statistics, computer vision, exploratory multiway data analysis and blind source separation. A symmetric nonnegative tensor, which has a symmetric nonnegative factorization, is called a…
In this paper we study the representation of Morse polynomial functions which are nonnegative on a compact basic closed semi-algebraic set in $\mathbb R^n$, and having only finitely many zeros in this set. Following C. Bivi\`{a}-Ausina, we…
The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…
The free closed semialgebraic set $D_f$ determined by a hermitian noncommutative polynomial $f$ is the closure of the connected component of $\{(X,X^*)\mid f(X,X^*)>0\}$ containing the origin. When $L$ is a hermitian monic linear pencil,…
Certifying the positivity of trigonometric polynomials is of first importance for design problems in discrete-time signal processing. It is well known from the Riesz-Fej\'ez spectral factorization theorem that any trigonometric univariate…
