Abstract: In this paper we study polynomial maps of vector spaces and their eigenvectors and eigenvalues. The new quantity called complanart is defined. Complanarts determine complanarity of solution vectors of systems of polynomial equations. Evaluation of complanart is reduced to evaluation of resultants. As in linear case, the pattern of eigenvectors defines the phase diagram of associated differential equation. Theory of such differential equations arise naturally as extension of Lyapunov's theory of stability for solutions of differential equations. The results of this work have a number of potential applications: from solving non-linear differential equations and calculating non-linear exponents to taking non-Gaussian integrals.

Review text

This paper discuss an important problem in nonlinear algebra -- see, for example [\textit{V. Dolotin} and \textit{A. Morozov}, ``Introduction to nonlinear algebra (Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific) (2007; Zbl 1134.15001)] -- that is, it studies homogeneous polynomial maps \(z_i \mapsto A_i^{i_1 i_2 \cdots i_s} z_{i_1} z_{i_2} \cdots z_{i_s}\), their eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Discriminants and resultants (or hyperdeterminants) are the main functions in nonlinear algebra, and such that the vanishing of the resultant determines the existence condition for a nontrivial solution of a system of nonlinear equations, and the vanishing of the discriminant determines the degeneracy condition of a nonlinear form -- see [\textit{I. M. Gel'fand, M. M. Kapranov} and \textit{A. V. Zelevinsky},`` Discriminants, resultants and multidimensional determinants (Boston, MA: Birkhäuser) (1994; Zbl 0827.14036), reprint (2008; Zbl 1138.14001)]. In this paper, the author considers a new quantity, called the \textit{complanart}, which measures the degeneracy of a system of polynomial equations. It is explicitly shown how to calculate this quantity for two and three variables, and, in fact, in two variables it reproduces the well-known expressions for the discriminant of quadratic and cubic equations. The author also discusses the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a nonlinear map, and applications of the developed methods to the theory of polynomial differential equations.
