This article takes up the challenge of extending the classical Real Nullstellensatz of Dubois and Risler to left ideals in a *-algebra A. After introducing the notions of non-commutative zero sets and real ideals, we develop three themes…

Using polynomial equations to model combinatorial problems has been a popular tool both in computational combinatorics as well as an approach to proving new theorems. In this paper, we look at several combinatorics problems modeled by…

The (weak) Nullstellensatz over finite fields says that if $P_1,\ldots,P_m$ are $n$-variate degree-$d$ polynomials with no common zero over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ then there are polynomials $R_1,\ldots,R_m$ such that…

We prove a general version of Bezout's form of the Nullstellensatz for arbitrary fields. The corresponding sufficient and necessary condition only involves the local existence of multi-valued roots for each of the polynomials belonging to…

In this expository paper, we present simple proofs of the Classical, Real, Projective and Combinatorial Nullstellens\"atze. Several applications are also presented such as a classical theorem of Stickelberger for solutions of polynomial…

This article extends the classical Real Nullstellensatz to matrices of polynomials in a free $\ast$-algebra $\RR\axs$ with $x=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$. This result is a generalization of a result of Cimpri\vc, Helton, McCullough, and the author.…

For a finite set $\cal F$ of polynomials over fixed finite prime field of size $p$ containing all polynomials $x^2 - x$ a Nullstellensatz proof of the unsolvability of the system $$ f = 0\ ,\ \mbox{ all } f \in {\cal F} $$ in the field is a…

Using the fact that the maximal ideals in the polydisk algebra are given by the kernels of point evaluations, we derive a simple formula that gives a solution to the B\'ezout equation in the space of all entire functions of several complex…

We show that Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, the problem of deciding if a system of multivariate polynomial equations has a solution in the algebraic closure of the underlying field, lies in the counting hierarchy. More generally, we show that…

We prove a noncommutative real Nullstellensatz for 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras that extends the classical, commutative real Nullstellensatz as follows: Instead of the real polynomial algebra $\mathbb R[x_1, \dots, x_d]$ we consider the…

We give upper bounds for the differential Nullstellensatz in the case of ordinary systems of differential algebraic equations over any field of constants $K$ of characteristic $0$. Let $\vec{x}$ be a set of $n$ differential variables,…

We give an expository account of Nullstellensatz-like results when the base field is finite. In particular, we discuss the vanishing ideal of the affine space and of the projective space over a finite field. As an application, we include an…

Systems of polynomial equations over an algebraically-closed field K can be used to concisely model many combinatorial problems. In this way, a combinatorial problem is feasible (e.g., a graph is 3-colorable, hamiltonian, etc.) if and only…
