On the possibility and impossibility of determinantal representations of polynomials
 
Brändén has recently shown that there are real zero polynomials without determinantal representations. This disproves the generalized Lax conjecture, which was shown to be true in the case of two variables by Helton and Vinnikov. One can easily improve Brändéns result and show that there are very simple explicit polynomials without determinantal representations, even of degree two. On the other hand, these examples admit a determinantal representation when raised to a high enough power. To prove this one constructs an algebra with involution and shows that is has a finite dimensional representation. The results are joint work with Andreas Thom (work in progress).


Es wird Gelegenheit gegeben, sich vorher (ab 16.30 Uhr) im Commoncenter F 441 bei Tee und Kaffee zu treffen.
