Geometry of free loci and factorization of noncommutative polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The free singularity locus of a noncommutative polynomial f is defined to be the sequence Zn(f)=XinMng:detf(X)=0 of hypersurfaces. The main theorem of this article shows that f is irreducible if and only if Zn(f) is eventually irreducible. A key step in the proof is an irreducibility result for linear pencils. Apart from its consequences to factorization in a free algebra, the paper also discusses its applications to invariant subspaces in perturbation theory and linear matrix inequalities in real algebraic geometry.
