Abstract: Let P(x,z)=zd+sumi=1dai(x)zd−i be a polynomial, where ai are real analytic functions in an open subset U of Rn. If for any xinU the polynomial zmapstoP(x,z) has only real roots, then we can write those roots as locally lipschitz functions of x. Moreover, there exists a modification (a locally finite composition of blowing-ups with smooth centers) sigma:WoU such that the roots of the corresponding polynomial ildeP(w,z)=P(sigma(w),z),winW, can be written locally as analytic functions of w. Let A(x),xinU be an analytic family of symmetric matrices, where U is open in Rn. Then there exists a modification sigma:WoU, such the corresponding family ildeA(w)=A(sigma(w)) can be locally diagonalized analytically (i.e. we can choose locally eigenvectors in an analytic way). This generalizes the Rellich's well known theorem (1937) for one-parameter families. Similarly for an analytic family A(x),xinU of antisymmetric matrices there exits a modification sigma such that we can find locally a basis of proper subspaces in an analytic way.


Let \(P\) be the polynomial defined by \[ P(x,z)=z^d+\sum_{i=1}^da_i(x)z^{d-i}\; , \] where each \(a_i\) is a real-analytic function on an open interval \(I\subset\mathbb{R}\). \textit{F. Rellich} [Math. Ann. 113, 600--619 (1936; Zbl 0016.06201)] proved that if, for any \(x\in I\), the polynomial \(x\mapsto P(x,z)\) is hyperbolic, i.e., it has only real roots, then the roots of \(P\) can be chosen analytically. In this paper, the authors provide two multiparameter generalizations of Rellich's theory. For the first generalization, it is proved that the roots of \(P\) can be chosen locally in a Lipschitz way. For the second generalization, after a suitable blowup of the space of parameters, they write locally the roots of hyperbolic polynomials as analytic functions of the parameters. In the second half of the paper, another result by \textit{F. Rellich} is generalized [Perturbation theory of eigenvalue problems. Notes on Mathematics and its Applications. New York-London-Paris: Gordon and Breach Science Publishers (1969; Zbl 0181.42002)] stating that a 1-parameter analytic family of symmetric matrices admits a uniform diagonalization. In the end, analytic families of antisymmetric matrices, depending on several parameters, are also considered.
