We show that every distinguished variety in the symmetrized tridisc $\mathbb G_3$ is one-dimensional and can be represented as \begin{equation}\label{eqn:1} \Lambda=\{ (s_1,s_2,p)\in \mathbb G_3 \,:\, (s_1,s_2) \in \sigma_T(F_1^*+pF_2\,,\,…

The symmetrization map $\pi:\mathbb C^2\rightarrow \mathbb C^2$ is defined by $ \pi(z_1,z_2)=(z_1+z_2,z_1z_2). $ The closed symmetrized bidisc $\Gamma$ is the symmetrization of the closed unit bidisc $\overline{\mathbb D^2}$, that is, \[…

We find characterization for the distinguished varieties in the symmetrized polydisc $\mathbb G_n \; (n\geq 2)$ and thus generalize the work [\textit{J. Funct. Anal.}, 266 (2014), 5779 -- 5800] on $\mathbb G_2$ by the author and Shalit. We…

A pair of commuting Hilbert space contractions $(T_1,T_2)$ is said to be toral if there is a polynomial $p \in \mathbb C[z_1,z_2]$ such that its zero set $Z(p)$ defines a distinguished variety in the bidisc $\mathbb D^2$ and $p(T_1,T_2)=0$.…

A symmetric doubly stochastic matrix A is said to be determined by its spectra if the only symmetric doubly stochastic matrices that are similar to A are of the form $P^TAP$ for some permutation matrix P. The problem of characterizing such…

A commuting pair of Hilbert space operators having the closed symmetrized bidisc \[ \Gamma=\{(z_1+z_2, z_1z_2) \in \mathbb C^2 \ : \ |z_1| \leq 1, |z_2| \leq 1\} \] as a spectral set is called a \textit{$\Gamma$-contraction}. A…

It is shown that, given any finite dimensional, split basic algebra $\Lambda = K\Gamma/I$ (where $\Gamma$ is a quiver and $I$ an admissible ideal in the path algebra $K \Gamma$), there is a finite list of affine algebraic varieties, the…

A tuple of commuting operators $(S_1,\dots,S_{n-1},P)$ for which the closed symmetrized polydisc $\Gamma_n$ is a spectral set is called a $\Gamma_n$-contraction. We show that every $\Gamma_n$-contraction admits a decomposition into a…

For any truncated path algebra $\Lambda$ of a quiver, we classify, by way of representation-theoretic invariants, the irreducible components of the parametrizing varieties $\mathbf{Rep}_{\mathbf{d}}(\Lambda)$ of the $\Lambda$-modules with…

In this paper, we consider the problem of representing a multivariate polynomial as the determinant of a definite (monic) symmetric/Hermitian linear matrix polynomial (LMP). Such a polynomial is known as determinantal polynomial.…

Consider an $n\times n$ matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ and a set $\Sigma$ consisting of $k \le n$ distinct complex numbers. In this paper, a (weighted) spectral norm distance from $P(\lambda)$ to the matrix polynomials whose spectra include…

The symplectic group branching algebra, B, is a graded algebra whose components encode the multiplicities of irreducible representations of Sp(2n-2,C) in each irreducible representation of Sp(2n,C). By describing on B an ASL structure, we…

This note constructs an explicit normal boundary dilation for a commuting pair $(S,P)$ of bounded operators with the symmetrized bidisk $$\Gamma=\{(z_1+z_2,z_1z_2):|z_1|,|z_2| \leq 1\}$$ as a spectral set. Such explicit dilations had…

In this article, we point out the connections between the distinguished varieties introduced by Agler and McCarthy with certain uniform algebras on bidisc studied by Samuelsson and Wold. We also prove analogues of Samuelsson-Wold result for…

The germ of an algebraic variety is naturally equipped with two different metrics up to bilipschitz equivalence. The inner metric and the outer metric. One calls a germ of a variety Lipschitz normally embedded if the two metrics are…

Let $\Gamma_n$, $n \geq 2$, denote the symmetrized polydisc in $\mathbb{C}^n$, and $\Gamma_1$ be the closed unit disc in $\mathbb{C}$. We provide some characterizations of elements in $\Gamma_n$. In particular, an element $(s_1, \ldots,…

We define eventually symmetric functions to be those power series of bounded degree in infinitely many variables that are invariant under interchanging all the variables with large enough indices. We show how this ring $\tilde{\Lambda}$ is…

In [19], Taslaman, Tisseur, and Zaballa show that any regular matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ over an algebraically closed field is spectrally equivalent to a triangular matrix polynomial of the same degree. When $P(\lambda)$ is real and…
