Newton polytopes, increments, and roots of systems of matrix functions for finite-dimensional representations (Q2486716)

Consider finite-dimensional holomorphic representations of a Lie group and a system of matrix functions associated with this representation. The author computes the asymptotic root distribution for this system. It can be expressed via the increments of the representations involved. If the group is, in addition, reductive, then the number of equations in the system can be arbitrary between 1 and the dimension of the group, as is pointed out. In the reductive case, the results can be obtained by concepts of convex geometry. The computations show also a new approach to some already known formulas in this context, e.g., for the density of the solution variety of a system of exponential equations.
