Cayley's hyperdeterminant is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 4 in the 8 entries of a 2 x 2 x 2 array. It is the simplest (nonconstant) polynomial which is invariant under changes of basis in three directions. We use elementary facts…

We use the representation theory of Lie algebras and computational linear algebra to obtain an explicit formula for the hyperdeterminant of a $3 \times 3 \times 2$ array: a homogeneous polynomial of degree 12 in 18 variables with 16749…

We briefly review previous work on the invariant theory of 3 x 3 x 3 arrays. We then recall how to generate arrays of arbitrary size m_1 x ... x m_k with hyperdeterminant 0. Our main result is an explicit formula for the 3 x 3 x 3…

We determine the three fundamental invariants in the entries of a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ array over $\mathbb{C}$ as explicit polynomials in the 27 variables $x_{ijk}$ for $1 \le i, j, k \le 3$. By the work of Vinberg on $\theta$-groups, it…

We use computer algebra to determine the Lie invariants of degree <= 12 in the free Lie algebra on two generators corresponding to the natural representation of the simple 3-dimensional Lie algebra sl(2,C). We then consider the free Lie…

The hyperdeterminant of format 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 is a polynomial of degree 24 in 16 unknowns which has 2894276 terms. We compute the Newton polytope of this polynomial and the secondary polytope of the 4-cube. The 87959448 regular…

For each 3-dimensional non-Lie Leibniz algebra over the complex numbers, we describe the algebra of polynomial invariants and determine its group of automorphisms. As a consequence, we establish that any two non-nilpotent 3-dimensional…

The coefficient algebra of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on a finite-dimensional representation is defined as the subalgebra generated by all coefficients of the corresponding characteristic polynomial. We explore connections between…

We give the basic definitions and some theoretical results about hyperdeterminants, introduced by A. Cayley in 1845. We prove integrability (understood as 4d-consistency) of a nonlinear difference equation defined by the…

We develop a method to construct algebraic invariants for hypermatrices. We then construct hyperdeterminants and exhibit a generalization of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for hypermatrices.

Chevalley's theorem states that for any simple finite dimensional Lie algebra G (1) the restriction homomorphism of the algebra of polynomials on G onto the Cartan subalgebra H induces an isomorphism between the algebra of G-invariant…

We prove that a generic homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ is determined, up to a nonzero constant multiplicative factor, by the vector space spanned by its partial derivatives of order $k$ whenever $k\leq\frac{d}{2}-1$.

We classify all two-dimensional simple algebras (which may be non-associative) over an algebraically closed field. For each two-dimensional algebra $\mathcal{A}$, we describe a minimal (with respect to inclusion) generating set for the…

For any natural $d \ge k \ge 2$ we calculate the cohomology groups of the space of homogeneous polynomials $R^2 \to R$ of degree $d$, which do not vanish with multiplicity $\ge k$ on real lines. For $k=2$ this problem provides the simplest…

The discriminant of a multivariate polynomial with indeterminate coefficients is not necessarily a hypersurface, and characterizing its codimension was an open problem for quite a while. We resolve this problem for the discriminants of…

Motivated by the recent developments on the complexity of non-com\-mu\-ta\-tive determinant and permanent [Chien et al.\ STOC 2011, Bl\"aser ICALP 2013, Gentry CCC 2014] we attempt at obtaining a tight characterization of hard instances of…

Let $K$ be a global field of characteristic different from 2 and $u(x)\in K[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of even degree $2g\ge 6$, whose Galois group over $K$ is either the full symmetric group $S_{2g}$ or the alternating group…

All results concern characteristic 2. Two procedures that to every simple Lie algebra assign simple Lie superalgebras, most of the latter new, are offered. We prove that every simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is obtained as the…

We give a complete formula for the characteristic polynomial of hyperplane arrangements $\mathcal J_n$ consisting of the hyperplanes $x_i+x_j=1$, $x_k=0$, $x_l=1$, $ 1\leq i, j, k, l\leq n$. The formula is obtained by associating hyperplane…

The algebra of holomorphic polynomial Sp_{2n}-invariants of k complex 2n by 2n matrices (under diagonal conjugation action) is generated by the traces of words in these matrices and their symplectic adjoints. No concrete minimal generating…
