Power determinantal representation conjecture for real zero polynomials
Let be a real zero polynomial if, for every and , implies that is real. Suppose that . Power determinantal representation conjecture. There are symmetric matrices and a positive integer such that
This is a relaxation of the Helton–Vinnikov conjecture, allowing a positive power of the polynomial. It is refuted in this paper using the nonrepresentability of the Vámos cube matroid, which has the half-plane property.
