Sign patterns and rigid orders of moduli

Abstract: We consider the set of monic degree

d

real univariate polynomials

Q_{d} = x^{d} + s u m_{j = 0}^{d - 1} a_{j} x^{j}

and its {em hyperbolicity domain}

P i_{d}

, i.e. the subset of values of the coefficients

a_{j}

for which the polynomial

Q_{d}

has all roots real. The subset

E_{d} s u b s e t P i_{d}

is the one on which a modulus of a negative root of

Q_{d}

is equal to a positive root of

Q_{d}

. At a point, where

Q_{d}

has

d

distinct roots with exactly

s

(

1 l e q s l e q [d / 2]

) equalities between positive roots and moduli of negative roots, the set

E_{d}

is locally the transversal intersection of

s

smooth hypersurfaces. At a point, where

Q_{d}

has two double opposite roots and no other equalities between moduli of roots, the set

E_{d}

is locally the direct product of

m a t h b b R^{d - 3}

and a hypersurface in

m a t h b b R^{3}

having a Whitney umbrella singularity. For

d l e q 4

, we draw pictures of the sets

P i_{d}

and~

E_{d}

.
