In this paper we prove a Nullstellensatz for supersymmetric polynomials. This gives a bijection between radical ideals and superalgebraic sets. These are algebraic sets which are invariant under the Weyl groupoid of Sergeev and Veselov,…

The geometric form of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz may be understood as a property of "geometric saturation" in algebraically closed fields. We conceptualise this property in the language of first order logic, following previous approaches and…

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.…

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…

Alon's combinatorial Nullstellensatz (Theorem 1.1 from \cite{Alon1}) is one of the most powerful algebraic tools in combinatorics, with a diverse array of applications. Let $\F$ be a field, $S_1,S_2,..., S_n$ be finite nonempty subsets of…

In this paper we prove a strong version of the Hilbert Nullstellensatz in the ring $\mathbb H[q_1,\ldots,q_n]$ of slice regular polynomials in several quaternionic variables. Our proof deeply depends on a detailed analysis of the common…

Let $K$ be a field and $D$ be a finite-dimensional central division algebra over $K$. We prove a variant of the Nullstellensatz for $2$-sided ideals in the ring of polynomial maps $D^n \to D$. In the case where $D = K$ is commutative, our…

For $a,b \ge 1$, Hilbert found in 1886 a collection of polynomial equations that cut out set-theoretically the variety X parametrizing a-th powers of binary forms of degree b. We determine the ideal of all polynomials vanishing on X,…

Let $A$ be the algebra of all $n \times n$ matrices with entries from $\RR[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ and let $G_1,\ldots,G_m,F \in A$. We will show that $F(a)v=0$ for every $a \in \RR^d$ and $v \in \RR^n$ such that $G_i(a)v=0$ for all $i$ if and…

A symmetric ideal is an ideal in a polynomial ring which is stable under all permutations of the variables. In this paper we initiate a global study of zero-dimensional symmetric ideals. By this we mean a geometric study of the invariant…
