The image of the principal minor map for n x n-matrices is shown to be closed. In the 19th century, Nansen and Muir studied the implicitization problem of finding all relations among principal minors when n=4. We complete their partial results by constructing explicit polynomials of degree 12 that scheme-theoretically define this affine variety and also its projective closure in $PP^{15}$. The latter is the main component in the singular locus of the 2 x 2 x 2 x 2-hyperdeterminant.

Let V be a smooth equidimensional quasi-affine variety of dimension r over the complex numbers $C$ and let $F$ be a $(ptimes s)$-matrix of coordinate functions of $C[V]$, where $sge p+r$. The pair $(V,F)$ determines a vector bundle $E$ of rank $s-p$ over $W:={xin V:mathrm{rk} F(x)=p}$. We associate with $(V,F)$ a descending chain of degeneracy loci of E (the generic polar varieties of $V$ represent a typical example of this situation). The maximal degree of these degeneracy loci constitutes the essential ingredient for the uniform, bounded error probabilistic pseudo-polynomial time algorithm which we are going to design and which solves a series of computational elimination problems that can be formulated in this framework. We describe applications to polynomial equation solving over the reals and to the computation of a generic fiber of a dominant endomorphism of an affine space.
We consider the problem of computing homogeneous coordinates of points in a zero-dimensional subscheme of a compact, complex toric variety $X$. Our starting point is a homogeneous ideal $I$ in the Cox ring of $X$, which in practice might arise from homogenizing a sparse polynomial system. We prove a new eigenvalue theorem in the toric compact setting, which leads to a novel, robust numerical approach for solving this problem. Our method works in particular for systems having isolated solutions with arbitrary multiplicities. It depends on the multigraded regularity properties of $I$. We study these properties and provide bounds on the size of the matrices involved in our approach in the case where $I$ is a complete intersection.
We present three families of minimal border rank tensors: they come from highest weight vectors, smoothable algebras, or monomial algebras. We analyse them using Strassens laser method and obtain an upper bound $2.431$ on $omega$. We also explain how in certain monomial cases using the laser method directly is less profitable than first degenerating. Our results form possible paths in the search for valuable tensors for the laser method away from Coppersmith-Winograd tensors.
We consider the problem of finding the isolated common roots of a set of polynomial functions defining a zero-dimensional ideal I in a ring R of polynomials over C. Normal form algorithms provide an algebraic approach to solve this problem. The framework presented in Telen et al. (2018) uses truncated normal forms (TNFs) to compute the algebra structure of R/I and the solutions of I. This framework allows for the use of much more general bases than the standard monomials for R/I. This is exploited in this paper to introduce the use of two special (nonmonomial) types of basis functions with nice properties. This allows, for instance, to adapt the basis functions to the expected location of the roots of I. We also propose algorithms for efficient computation of TNFs and a generalization of the construction of TNFs in the case of non-generic zero-dimensional systems. The potential of the TNF method and usefulness of the new results are exposed by many experiments.
This paper is devoted to the factorization of multivariate polynomials into products of linear forms, a problem which has applications to differential algebra, to the resolution of systems of polynomial equations and to Waring decomposition (i.e., decomposition in sums of d-th powers of linear forms; this problem is also known as symmetric tensor decomposition). We provide three black box algorithms for this problem. Our main contribution is an algorithm motivated by the application to Waring decomposition. This algorithm reduces the corresponding factorization problem to simultaenous matrix diagonalization, a standard task in linear algebra. The algorithm relies on ideas from invariant theory, and more specifically on Lie algebras. Our second algorithm reconstructs a factorization from several bi-variate projections. Our third algorithm reconstructs it from the determination of the zero set of the input polynomial, which is a union of hyperplanes.
