Hyperbolic polynomials have been of recent interest due to applications in a wide variety of fields. We seek to better understand these polynomials in the case when they are symmetric, i.e. invariant under all permutations of variables. We…

Hyperbolic polynomials are real polynomials whose real hypersurfaces are nested ovaloids, the inner most of which is convex. These polynomials appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and differential…

We prove that the hyperbolicity cones of elementary symmetric polynomials are spectrahedral, i.e., they are slices of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices. The proof uses the matrix--tree theorem, an idea already present in Choe et…

Hyperbolicity cones are convex algebraic cones arising from hyperbolic polynomials. A well-understood subclass of hyperbolicity cones is that of spectrahedral cones and it is conjectured that every hyperbolicity cone is spectrahedral. In…

Hyperbolic polynomials elegantly encode a rich class of convex cones that includes polyhedral and spectrahedral cones. Hyperbolic polynomials are closed under taking polars and the corresponding cones, the derivative cones, yield…

Hyperbolic polynomials are real multivariate polynomials with only real roots along a fixed pencil of lines. Testing whether a given polynomial is hyperbolic is a difficult task in general. We examine different ways of translating…

We prove a generalization of the Hermitian version of the Helton-Vinnikov determinantal representation of hyperbolic polynomials to the class of semi-hyperbolic polynomials, a strictly larger class, as shown by an example. We also prove…

We give an elementary proof for the fact that an irreducible hyperbolic polynomial has only one pair of hyperbolicity cones.

We classify hyperbolic polynomials in two real variables that admit a transitive action on some component of their hyperbolic level sets. Such surfaces are called special homogeneous surfaces, and they are equipped with a natural Riemannian…

We study the boundary of the cone of real polynomials that can be decomposed as a sum of squares (SOS) of real polynomials. This cone is included in the cone of nonnegative polynomials and both cones share a part of their boundary, which…

We consider the problem of realizing hyperbolicity cones as spectrahedra, i.e. as linear slices of cones of positive semidefinite matrices. The generalized Lax conjecture states that this is always possible. We use generalized Clifford…

We give explicit polynomial-sized (in $n$ and $k$) semidefinite representations of the hyperbolicity cones associated with the elementary symmetric polynomials of degree $k$ in $n$ variables. These convex cones form a family of…

The Generalized Lax Conjecture asks whether every hyperbolicity cone is a section of a semidefinite cone of sufficiently high dimension. We prove that the space of hyperbolicity cones of hyperbolic polynomials of degree $d$ in $n$ variables…

A hyperbolic polynomial (HP) is a real univariate polynomial with all roots real. By Descartes' rule of signs a HP with all coefficients nonvanishing has exactly $c$ positive and exactly $p$ negative roots counted with multiplicity, where…

The generalized Lax conjecture asserts that each hyperbolicity cone is a linear slice of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices. We prove the conjecture for a multivariate generalization of the matching polynomial. This is further…

By Vinberg theory any homogeneous convex cone $\mathcal V$ may be realized as the cone of positive Hermitian matrices in a $T$-algebra of generalised matrices. The level hypersurfaces $\mathcal V_{q} \subset \mathcal V$ of homogeneous cubic…

For a set $S$ of $d$ points in the $n$-dimensional projective space over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that the polynomials of degree $d$ whose zero sets are cones over $S$ do not span the vector space of polynomials of degree…

Spectrahedra are linear sections of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices that, as convex bodies, generalize the class of polyhedra. In this paper we investigate the problem of recognizing when a spectrahedron is polyhedral. We reprove…

A smooth curve in the real projective plane is hyperbolic if its ovals are maximally nested. By the Helton-Vinnikov Theorem, any such curve admits a definite symmetric determinantal representation. We use polynomial homotopy continuation to…

Volume polynomials form a distinguished class of log-concave polynomials with remarkable analytic and combinatorial properties. I will survey realization problems related to them, review fundamental inequalities they satisfy, and discuss…
