We consider symmetric polynomials, p, in the noncommutative free variables (x_1, x_2, ..., x_g). We define the noncommutative complex hessian of p and we call a noncommutative symmetric polynomial noncommutative plurisubharmonic if it has a…

Why withdrawn: Main theorem can only be proved, if the flag manifold F with b2=1 is additionally hermitian symmetric.Mistake made at the following place: If F is not hermitian symmetric, certain vector fields are not left invariant

In a recent paper Jones and Mateo used operator techniques to show that the non-Hermitian $\cP\cT$-symmetric wrong-sign quartic Hamiltonian $H=\half p^2-gx^4$ has the same spectrum as the conventional Hermitian Hamiltonian $\tilde H=\half…

A polynomial is real-rooted if all of its roots are real. For every polynomial $f(t) \in {\mathbf R}[t]$, the Hermite-Sylvester theorem associates a quadratic form $\Phi_2$ such that $f(t)$ is real-rooted if and only if $\Phi_2$ is positive…

Given a positive noncommutative polynomial $f$, equivalently a sum of Hermitian squares (SOHS), there exists a positive semidefinite Gram matrix that encrypts all the structural essence of $f$. There are no available methods for extending a…

Let \lambda be a partition of a positive integer n. Let C be a symmetric rigid tensor category over a field k of characteristic 0 or char(k)>n, and let V be an object of C. In our main result (Theorem 4.3) we introduce a finite set of…

A criterion for the validity of the Riemann hypothesis reduced the problem to the search for a certain estimate, for a hermitian form associated by means of the Weyl symbolic calculus of operators to a distribution in the plane of an…

We show that a quantum system possessing an exact antilinear symmetry, in particular PT-symmetry, is equivalent to a quantum system having a Hermitian Hamiltonian. We construct the unitary operator relating an arbitrary non-Hermitian…

In this article, we provide a short and elementary proof of the following result: For $n \geq 3$ the middle coefficient of $\Phi_n(x)$ is either zero (when $n$ is a power of $2$) or an odd integer.

We give an example of a polynomial of degree 4 in 5 variables that is the sum of squares of 8 polynomials and cannot be decomposed as the sum of 7 squares. This improves the current existing lower bound of 7 polynomials for the Pythagoras…

In the paper we can prove that every integer can be written as the sum of two integers, one perfect square and one squarefree. We also establish the asympotic formula for the number of representations of an integer in this form. The result…

The endpoint Strichartz estimate $\| e^{it\Delta} f \|_{L^2_t L^\infty_x(\R \times \R^2)} \lesssim \|f\|_{L^2_x(\R^2)}$ is known to be false by the work of Montgomery-Smith, despite being only ``logarithmically far'' from being true in some…

In this note we aim to give a new, elementary proof of a statement that was first proved by Timofte. It says that a symmetric real polynomial $F$ of degree $d$ in $n$ variables is positive on $\R^n$ (on $\R^{n}_{\geq 0}$) if and only if it…
