We describe the algebraic boundaries of the regions of real binary forms with fixed typical rank and of degree at most eight, showing that they are dual varieties of suitable coincident root loci.
Coincident root loci are subvarieties of $S^d(C^2)$--the space of binary forms of degree $d$--labelled by partitions of $d$. Given a partition $\lambda$, let $X_\lambda$ be the set of forms with root multiplicity corresponding to $\lambda$.…
We show that the algebraic boundaries of the regions of real binary forms with fixed typical rank are always unions of dual varieties to suitable coincident root loci.
The multiple root loci among univariate polynomials of degree $n$ are indexed by partitions of $n$. We study these loci and their conormal varieties. The projectively dual varieties are joins of such loci where the partitions are hooks. Our…
We state the relation between the variety of binary forms of given rank and the dual of the multiple root loci. This is a new result for the suprageneric rank, as a continuation of the work by Buczy\'nski, Han, Mella and Teitler. We…
In this article we provide examples, methods and algorithms to determine conditions on the parameters of certain type of parametric optimization problems, such that among the resulting local minima and maxima there is at least one which…
We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…
Consider the projective variety $X_\lambda$ of binary forms of degree $d$ whose linear factors are distributed according to the partition $\lambda$ of $d$. We determine minimal sets of local generators of the fiber product of $X_\lambda$…
We discuss several conjectures about the real-rootedness of polynomials whose coefficients are determinants of coefficients of a real-rooted polynomial. We also consider some questions about matrices generalizing totally positive matrices,…
In this paper, with the help of trinomial coefficients we study some arithmetic properties of certain determiants involving reciprocals of binary quadratic forms over finite fields.
We study algebro-geometric properties of determinantal loci of (n+1)th symmetric matrices and also their double covers for even ranks. Their singularities, Fano indices and birational geometries are studied in general. The double covers of…
The purpose of this note is to survey a methodology to solve systems of polynomial equations and inequalities. The techniques we discuss use the algebra of multivariate polynomials with coefficients over a field to create large-scale linear…
We study a categorical condition on relations, which is a categorical formulation of J\'onsson's characterisation of congruence distributive varieties. Categories satisfying these conditions need not be varieties; for instance, the dual of…
Over the split-octonion algebra defined over an arbitrary field, we solve all polynomial equations whose coefficients are scalar except for the constant term. As an application, we determine the square and cubic roots of an octonion.
We consider the problem of finding a condition for a univariate polynomial having a given multiplicity structure when the number of distinct roots is given. It is well known that such conditions can be written as conjunctions of several…
We consider a sequence of sums of powers of the the roots of the cubic equation characterizing the Tribonacci sequences and derive its relationship with a particular Tribonacci sequence. Then we make a conjecture on the possible…
Condition numbers of random polynomial systems have been widely studied in the literature under certain coefficient ensembles of invariant type. In this note we introduce a method that allows us to study these numbers for a broad family of…
The question of boundary conditions in conformal field theories is discussed, in the light of recent progress. Two kinds of boundary conditions are examined, along open boundaries of the system, or along closed curves or ``seams''. Solving…
We provide a unified, elementary, topological approach to the classical results stating the continuity of the complex roots of a polynomial with respect to its coefficients, and the continuity of the coefficients with respect to the roots.…
We bound the location of roots of polynomials that have nonnegative coefficients with respect to a fixed but arbitrary basis of the vector space of polynomials of degree at most $d$. For this, we interpret the basis polynomials as vector…
