Abstract: Hyperbolic homogeneous polynomials with real coefficients, i.e., hyperbolic real projective hypersurfaces, and their determinantal representations, play a key role in the emerging field of convex algebraic geometry. In this paper we consider a natural notion of hyperbolicity for a real subvariety XsubsetmathbbPd of an arbitrary codimension ell with respect to a real ell1-dimensional linear subspace VsubsetmathbbPd and study its basic properties. We also consider a special kind of determinantal representations that we call Livsic-type and a nice subclass of these that we call vr{}. Much like in the case of hypersurfaces (ell=1), the existence of a definite Hermitian vr{} Livsic-type determinantal representation implies hyperbolicity. We show that every curve admits a vr{} Livsic-type determinantal representation. Our basic tools are Cauchy kernels for line bundles and the notion of the Bezoutian for two meromorphic functions on a compact Riemann surface that we introduce. We then proceed to show that every real curve in mathbbPd hyperbolic with respect to some real d2-dimensional linear subspace admits a definite Hermitian, or even real symmetric, vr{} Livsic-type determinantal representation.
