Powersum varieties, also called varieties of sums of powers, have provided examples of interesting relations between varieties since their first appearance in the 19th century. One of the most useful tools to study them is apolarity, a…

Varieties of Sums of Powers describe the additive decompositions of an homogeneous polynomial into powers of linear forms. Despite their long history, going back to Sylvester and Hilbert, few of them are known for special degrees and number…

Isometric covariant representations play an important role in the study of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. In this article, we study partial isometric covariant representations and explore under what conditions powers and roots of partial isometric…

We introduce descent methods to the study of strong approximation on algebraic varieties. We apply them to two classes of varieties defined by P(t)=N_{K/k}(z): firstly for quartic extensions of number fields K/k and quadratic polynomials…

We investigate properties of Waring decompositions of real homogeneous forms. We study the moduli of real decompositions, so-called Space of Sums of Powers, naturally included in the Variety of Sums of Powers. Explicit results are obtained…

The variety of sums of powers of a homogeneous polynomial of degree d in n variables is defined and investigated in some examples, old and new. These varieties are studied via apolarity and syzygies. Classical results of Sylvester (1851),…

Arquile varieties are zerosets of polynomial, algebraic, analytic, or formal equations f(t,y_1,...,y_m) = 0 with solutions y(t) = (y_1(t),...,y_m(t)) in affine m-space over an algebraic, convergent or formal power series ring k<t>, k{t}, or…

We construct some examples of polynomial maps over finite fields that admit subvarieties with a peculiar property: every geometric point is mapped to a fixed point by some iteration of the map, while the whole subvariety is not. Several…

Waring's problem, of expressing an integer as the sum of powers, has a very long history going back to the 17th century, and the problem has been studied in many different contexts. In this paper we introduce the notion of a Waring subspace…

Let $A$ be an associative algebra graded by a finite group $G$ over a field ${F}$ of characteristic zero. One associates to $A$ the sequence of $G$-graded codimensions $c_n^G(A)$, $n=1,2,\ldots$, which measures the growth of the polynomial…

We analyze the problem of determining Waring decompositions of the powers of any quadratic form over the field of complex numbers. Our main goal is to provide information about their rank and also to obtain decompositions whose size is as…

Let $R$ and $S$ be standard graded algebras over a field $k$, and $I \subseteq R$ and $J \subseteq S$ homogeneous ideals. Denote by $P$ the sum of the extensions of $I$ and $J$ to $R\otimes_k S$. We investigate several important homological…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

We consider the set of the power non-negative polynomials of several variables and its subset that consists of polynomials which can be represented as a sum of squares. It is shown in the classic work by D.Hilbert that it is a proper…

Let $V$ be an algebraic variety defined over $\mathbb R$, and $V_{top}$ the space of its complex points. We compare the algebraic Witt group $W(V)$ of symmetric bilinear forms on vector bundles over $V$, with the topological Witt group…

This work presents some results about Wick polynomials of a vector field renormalization in locally covariant algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetime. General vector fields are pictured as sections of natural vector bundles over…

We describe new algorithms to compute Whitney stratifications of real algebraic varieties. Using either conormal or polar techniques, these algorithms stratify a complexification of a given real variety. We then show that the resulting…
