Definite symmetric determinantal representation from Rayleigh differences
Definite symmetric determinantal representation from Rayleigh differences
Let be multiaffine in , with nonzero coefficient of . For indices , let denote the corresponding Rayleigh difference. Definite symmetric determinantal representation conjecture. Some power of has a definite real symmetric determinantal representation if and only if, for all , is a sum of squares in . This is presented as a hoped-for partial converse to a known result relating definite determinantal representations to sums of squares; its resolution is not given in the source.
