Every symmetric polynomial p(x)=p(x_1,...,x_g) (with real coefficients) in g noncommuting variables x_1, ..., x_g can be written as a sum and difference of squares of noncommutative polynomials. Let s(p), the negative signature of p, denote…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in the non-commuting variables $(a,x)=(a_1,...,a_{g_a},x_1,...,x_{g_x})$. If $p$ is convex in the variables $x$, then $p$ has degree two in $x$ and moreover, $p$ has the form $p = L + \Lambda ^T \Lambda,$ where $L$…
