Let $k[x]_{(x)}$ be the polynomial ring $k[x]$ localized in the maximal ideal $(x)\subseteq k[x]$. We study the Hilbert functor parameterizing ideals of colength $n$ in this ring {\it having support at the origin}. The main result of this…

The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…

We clarify the question whether for a smooth curve of polynomials one can choose the roots smoothly and related questions. Applications to perturbation theory of operators are given.

Artin solved Hilbert's 17th problem, proving that a real polynomial in $n$ variables that is positive semidefinite is a sum of squares of rational functions, and Pfister showed that only $2^n$ squares are needed. In this paper, we…

In our joint paper with W. Fulton (math.AG/9804041) we prove a formula for the cohomology class of a quiver variety. This formula is general enough to give new expressions for all known types of Schubert polynomials. In the present paper we…

In this article we have studied some properties of subharmonic functions in a strongly symmetric Riemannian manifold with a pole. As a generalization of polynomial growth of a function we have introduced the notion of polynomial growth of…

The tree-width of a multivariate polynomial is the tree-width of the hypergraph with hyperedges corresponding to its terms. Multivariate polynomials of bounded tree-width have been studied by Makowsky and Meer as a new sparsity condition…

In what follows, we pose two general conjectures about decompositions of homogeneous polynomials as sums of powers. The first one (suggested by G. Ottaviani) deals with the generic k-rank of complex-valued forms of any degree divisible by k…

We compute the variances of sums in arithmetic progressions of arithmetic functions associated with certain $L$-functions of degree two and higher in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, in the limit as $q\to\infty$. This is achieved by establishing…

Given a smooth positive function $K$ on the standard sphere $(\mathbb{S}^n,g_0)$, we use Morse theoretical methods and counting index formulae to prove that, under generic conditions on the function $K$, there are arbitrarily many metrics…

Let R be a commutative ring with 1. For every homogeneous polynomial f(X_0,X_1,X_2) in R[X_0,X_1,X_2] of degree d <= 25, we find a explicit linear Pfaffian R-representation of f. We describe an empirical method that leads us to find such…

We show that the coefficients of the representing polynomial of any monotone Boolean function are the values of the M\"obius function of an atomistic lattice related to this function. Using this we determine the representing polynomial of…

In this paper, we discuss the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions: a smooth function plus a non-smooth function. Further, the smooth part can be expressed by the average of a large number of smooth component functions, and…

In this note we consider roots of multivariate polynomials over a finite grid. When given information on the leading monomial with respect to a fixed monomial ordering, the footprint bound [8, 5] provides us with an upper bound on the…

For arbitrary $n$ complex numbers $a_{\nu-1}$, $\nu=1,\dots,n$, where $n$ is sufficiently large, we get the representation in the form of power sums: $a_{\nu-1}=\lambda_1^\nu+\dots+\lambda_{2n+1}^\nu$, where $\lambda_k$ are distinct points,…
