Let $\mathcal{H}_{n,d} := \mathbb{R}[x_1$,$\ldots$, $x_n]_d$ be the set of all the homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$, and let $\mathcal{H}_{n,d}^s := \mathcal{H}_{n,d}^{\mathfrak{S}_n}$ be the subset of all the symmetric polynomials.…

The square of a skew-symmetric matrix is a symmetric matrix whose eigenvalues have even multiplicities. When the matrices have rank two, they represent the Grassmannian of lines, and the squaring operation takes Pl\"ucker coordinates to…

In this work, linearized multivariate skew polynomials over division rings are introduced. Such polynomials are right linear over the corresponding centralizer and generalize linearized polynomial rings over finite fields, group rings or…

The nonnegative and positive semidefinite (PSD-) ranks are closely connected to the nonnegative and positive semidefinite extension complexities of a polytope, which are the minimal dimensions of linear and SDP programs which represent this…

We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…

An ideal of polynomials is symmetric if it is closed under permutations of variables. We relate general symmetric ideals to the so called Specht ideals generated by all Specht polynomials of a given shape. We show a connection between the…

A skew polynomial ring $R=K[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is a ring of polynomials with non-commutative multiplication. This creates a difference between left and right divisibility, and thus a concept of left and right evaluations and roots. A…

We consider the problem of computing matrix polynomials $p(X)$, where $X$ is a large dense matrix, with as few matrix-matrix multiplications as possible. More precisely, let $\Pi_{2^{m}}^*$ represent the set of polynomials computable with…

Many applications give rise to structured matrix polynomials. The problem of constructing structure-preserving strong linearizations of structured matrix polynomials is revisited in this work and in the forthcoming ones…

Denote by $A$ the adjacency matrix of an Erdos-Renyi graph with bounded average degree. We consider the problem of maximizing $\langle A-E\{A\},X\rangle$ over the set of positive semidefinite matrices $X$ with diagonal entries $X_{ii}=1$.…

Let $ {\mathbf k} $ be a field and $Q\in {\mathbf k}[x_1, \ldots, x_s]$ a form (homogeneous polynomial) of degree $d>1.$ The ${\mathbf k}$-Schmidt rank $rk_{\mathbf k}(Q)$ of $Q$ is the minimal $r$ such that $Q= \sum_{i=1}^r R_iS_i$ with…

Motivated by the conjectures formulated in 2003 by Tun\c{c}el et al., we study interlacing properties of the eigenvalues of $A\otimes B + B\otimes A$ for pairs of $n$-by-$n$ matrices $A, B$. We prove that for every pair of symmetric…

Lascoux polynomials have been recently introduced to prove polynomiality of the maximum-likelihood degree of linear concentration models. We find the leading coefficient of the Lascoux polynomials (type C) and their generalizations to the…

The permanent vs. determinant problem is one of the most important problems in theoretical computer science, and is the main target of geometric complexity theory proposed by Mulmuley and Sohoni. The current best lower bound for the…

We study the problem of low-rank matrix completion for symmetric matrices. The minimum rank of a completion of a generic partially specified symmetric matrix depends only on the location of the specified entries, and not their values, if…

In this article, we construct a generating set of rational invariants for the action of the orthogonal group $\text{O}(n)$ on the space $\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]_{2d}$ of real homogeneous polynomials of even degree $2d$. This generalizes a…

Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a real closed field and $\mathrm{D} \subset \mathrm{R}$ an ordered domain. We consider the algorithmic problem of computing the generalized Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of real algebraic as well as semi-algebraic…

In 2003, Fomin and Zelevinsky obtained Cartan-Killing type classification of all cluster algebras of finite type, i.e. cluster algebras having only finitely many distinct cluster variables. A wider class of cluster algebras is formed by…

Here we study the typical rank for real bivariate homogeneous polynomials of degree $d\ge 6$ (the case $d\le 5$ being settled by P. Comon and G. Ottaviani). We prove that $d-1$ is a typical rank and that if $d$ is odd, then $(d+3)/2$ is a…

It is known that the elementary symmetric polynomials $e_k(x)$ have the property that if $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and $e_k(x) \leq e_k(y)$ for all $k$, then $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for all real $0\leq p \leq 1$, and moreover $||x||_p \geq…
