Hereditary NC Polynomials & Positivity Domains

Abdellah Islam, Jurij Volčič, Hugo J. Woerdeman

Noncommutative polynomials, elements of the free algebra generated by several noncommuting variables , are of importance in noncommutative algebra, fre…

Global structure behind pointwise equivalences of noncommutative polynomials

Eli Shamovich, Jurij Volčič

This paper investigates the interplay between local and global equivalences on noncommutative polynomials, the elements of the free algebra. When the latter are viewed as functions…

Dimension-free matricial Nullstellensätze for noncommutative polynomials

Jurij Volčič

Hilbert's Nullstellensatz is one of the most fundamental correspondences between algebra and geometry, and has inspired a plethora of noncommutative analogs. In last two decades, t…

Matrix evaluations of noncommutative rational functions and Waring problems

Matej Brešar, Jurij Volčič

Let be a nonconstant noncommutative rational function in variables over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We show that for large enough, there exis…

Ranks of linear matrix pencils separate simultaneous similarity orbits

Harm Derksen, Igor Klep, Visu Makam +1

This paper solves the two-sided version and provides a counterexample to the general version of the 2003 conjecture by Hadwin and Larson. Consider evaluations of linear matrix penc…

Hilbert's 17th problem in free skew fields

Jurij Volčič

This paper solves the rational noncommutative analog of Hilbert's 17th problem: if a noncommutative rational function is positive semidefinite on all tuples of hermitian matrices i…

Positive univariate trace polynomials

Igor Klep, James Eldred Pascoe, Jurij Volčič

A univariate trace polynomial is a polynomial in a variable x and formal trace symbols Tr(x^j). Such an expression can be naturally evaluated on matrices, where the trace symbols a…

Noncommutative rational functions invariant under the action of a finite solvable group

Igor Klep, James Eldred Pascoe, Gregor Podlogar +1

This paper describes the structure of invariant skew fields for linear actions of finite solvable groups on free skew fields in generators. These invariant skew fields are alwa…

Free Bertini's theorem and applications

Jurij Volčič

The simplest version of Bertini's irreducibility theorem states that the generic fiber of a non-composite polynomial function is an irreducible hypersurface. The main result of thi…

Factorization of noncommutative polynomials and Nullstellensätze for the free algebra

J. William Helton, Igor Klep, Jurij Volčič

This article gives a class of Nullstellensätze for noncommutative polynomials. The singularity set of a noncommutative polynomial is , where $…

Local theory of free noncommutative functions: germs, meromorphic functions and Hermite interpolation

Igor Klep, Victor Vinnikov, Jurij Volčič

Free analysis is a quantization of the usual function theory much like operator space theory is a quantization of classical functional analysis. Basic objects of free analysis are…

Stable noncommutative polynomials and their determinantal representations

Jurij Volčič

A noncommutative polynomial is stable if it is nonsingular on all tuples of matrices whose imaginary parts are positive definite. In this paper a characterization of stable polynom…

Geometry of free loci and factorization of noncommutative polynomials

J. William Helton, Igor Klep, Jurij Volčič

The free singularity locus of a noncommutative polynomial f is defined to be the sequence of hypersurfaces. The main theorem of this article s…

Null- and Positivstellensätze for rationally resolvable ideals

Igor Klep, Victor Vinnikov, Jurij Volčič

Hilbert's Nullstellensatz characterizes polynomials that vanish on the vanishing set of an ideal in C[x]. In the free algebra C<X> the vanishing set of a two-sided ideal I is defin…
