Univariate polynomials with only real roots -- while special -- do occur often enough that their properties can lead to interesting conclusions in diverse areas. Due mainly to the recent work of two young mathematicians, Julius Borcea and…
We study linear operators preserving the property of being a volume polynomial. More, precisely we show that a linear operator preserves this property if the associated symbol is itself a volume polynomial. This can be seen as an analogue…
Univariate polynomials are called stable with respect to a domain $D$ if all of their roots lie in $D$. We study linear slices of the space of stable univariate polynomials with respect to a half-plane. We show that a linear slice always…
We describe all linear operators on spaces of multivariate polynomials preserving the property of being non-vanishing in open circular domains. This completes the multivariate generalization of the classification program initiated by…
In the first part of this series we characterized all linear operators on spaces of multivariate polynomials preserving the property of being non-vanishing in products of open circular domains. For such sets this completes the multivariate…
We introduce and study the notion of conic stability of multivariate complex polynomials in $\mathbb{C}[z_1,\ldots, z_n]$, which naturally generalizes the stability of multivariate polynomials. In particular, we generalize Borcea's and…
A multivariate polynomial is {\em stable} if it is nonvanishing whenever all variables have positive imaginary parts. We classify all linear partial differential operators in the Weyl algebra $\A_n$ that preserve stability. An important…
In a seminal paper in 2009, Borcea, Br\"and\'en, and Liggett described the connection between probability distributions and the geometry of their generating polynomials. Namely, they characterized that stable generating polynomials…
In 1952 Lee and Yang proposed the program of analyzing phase transitions in terms of zeros of partition functions. Linear operators preserving non-vanishing properties are essential in this program and various contexts in complex analysis,…
Every symmetric polynomial $h(x)$ with center of symmetry $n/2$ can be expressed as a linear combination in the basis $x^i(1+x)^{n-2i}$. The $\gamma$-polynomial of $h(x)$, which we denote $\gamma_h(x)$, records the coefficients of this…
In the present paper we answer a question raised by J. Borcea and P. Branden and give a description of the class of operators preserving roots in open circular domains, i.e., in images of the open upper half-plane under the Mobius…
We study linear functions on the space of $n \times n$ matrices over a field which preserve or strongly preserve each of Green's equivalence relations ($\mathcal{L}$, $\mathcal{R}$, $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{J}$) and the corresponding…
We study the spaces of polynomials stratified into the sets of polynomial with fixed number of roots inside certain semialgebraic region $\Omega$, on its border, and at the complement to its closure. Presented approach is a generalisation,…
This note is an introduction to the properties of stable polynomials in several variables with real or complex coefficients. These polynomials are defined in terms of where the polynomial is non-vanishing. We do not cover well-known topics…
We consider homogeneous multiaffine polynomials whose coefficients are the Pl\"ucker coordinates of a point $V$ of the Grassmannian. We show that such a polynomial is stable (with respect to the upper half plane) if and only if $V$ is in…
We prove that the symmetrizer of a permutation group preserves stability of a polynomial if and only if the group is orbit homogeneous. A consequence is that the hypothesis of permutation invariance in the Grace-Walsh-Szeg\H{o} Coincidence…
We characterize all linear operators on finite or infinite-dimensional spaces of univariate real polynomials preserving the sets of elliptic, positive, and non-negative polynomials, respectively. This is done by means of Fischer-Fock…
We prove that certain linear operators preserve the P\'olya frequency property and real-rootedness, and apply our results to settle some conjectures and open problems in combinatorics proposed by B\'ona, Brenti and Reiner-Welker.
Following the classical approach of P\'olya-Schur theory we initiate in this paper the study of linear operators acting on $\mathbb{R}[x]$ and preserving either the set of positive univariate polynomials or similar sets of non-negative and…
The majorization order on $\RR^n$ induces a natural partial ordering on the space of univariate hyperbolic polynomials of degree $n$. We characterize all linear operators on polynomials that preserve majorization, and show that it is…
