S4-Conjecture for ternary quartics and quadratic forms
Let be a ternary quartic, that is, a -form in , and let be a quadratic form in . Suppose there exists such that . Write
for the non-negativity set of a polynomial . S4-Conjecture. The following statements are equivalent: (a) ; (b) there exists a non-negative homogeneous polynomial such that
for all . The conjecture is resolved: the source states that this question was answered by the author. This result provides a higher-degree analogue of the homogeneous S-lemma, replacing a non-negative scalar multiplier by a non-negative homogeneous quadratic polynomial.
