Classification of all noncommutative polynomials whose Hessian has negative signature one and a noncommutative second fundamental form (Q1031816): Difference between revisions

Continuing their studies of polynomials in non-commuting variables, the authors determine in this paper the structure of a symmetric non-commutative polynomial whose Hessian has negative signature one and a non-commutative second fundamental form. Motivations from both geometry and engineering are presented.
