Low-Rank Sum-Of-Squares Representations On Varieties Of Minimal Degree
INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS RESEARCH NOTICES(2019)
摘要
A celebrated result by Hilbert says that every real nonnegative ternary quartic is a sum of three squares. We show more generally that every nonnegative quadratic form on a real projective variety X of minimal degree is a sum of dim(X) + 1 squares of linear forms. This strengthens one direction of a recent result due to Blekherman, Smith, and Velasco. Our upper bound is the best possible, and it implies the existence of low-rank factorizations of positive semidefinite bivariate matrix polynomials and representations of biforms as sums of few squares. We determine the number of equivalence classes of sum-of-squares representations of general quadratic forms on surfaces of minimal degree, generalizing the count for ternary quartics by Powers, Reznick, Scheiderer, and Sottile.
