Perfectness conjecture for preorderings of matrix polynomials
Perfectness conjecture for preorderings of matrix polynomials
Let , let , and let be the preordering generated by . Set and let be the normalized trace.
Perfectness conjecture. The induced quadratic module satisfies
i.e. is a perfect quadratic module.
If is saturated, this is equivalent to representing every matrix polynomial positive semidefinite on as with and . The representation is known in several one-variable and a particular two-variable case, but the conjecture remains open in general.
