    No full text
    This workshop was organized by Michel Coste (Rennes), Claus Scheiderer (Konstanz) and Niels Schwartz (Passau). The talks focussed on recent developments in real enumerative and tropical geometry, positivity and sums of squares, real aspects of classical algebraic geometry, semialgebraic and tame geometry, and topology and singularities of real varieties

    Codes for : Two Remarks on SOS with Rational Coefficients.

    No full text
    <p>These are the codes (Magma, Python and GAP) used to obtain the data in the paper "Two Remaks on Sums of Squares with Rational Coefficients" by Claus Scheiderer and Jose Capco. Most of the Code were used to obtain and verify examples of Galois realizable permutation groups of even degree with fixed-point-free involution satisfying property (**) in the paper (specifically the involution is identified with complex conjugation in the Galois group).</p> <p>We write a detail on how to use and read the code in readme.txt" file.</p&gt

    Weak Approximation for Tori over p-adic Function Fields

    No full text
    We study local-global questions for Galois cohomology over the function field of a curve defined over a p-adic field, the main focus being weak approximation of rational points. We construct a 9-term Poitou-Tate-type exact sequence for tori over a field as above (and also a 12-term sequence for finite modules). Like in the number field case, part of the sequence can then be used to analyze the defect of weak approximation for a torus. We also show that the defect of weak approximation is controlled by a certain subgroup of the third unramified cohomology group of the torus. © 2014 © The Author(s) 2014.

    Toric completions and bounded functions on real algebraic varieties

    No full text
    Given a semi-algebraic set S, we study compactifications of S that arise from embeddings into complete toric varieties. This makes it possible to describe the asymptotic growth of polynomial functions on S in terms of combinatorial data. We extend our earlier work in Plaumann and Scheiderer [‘The ring of bounded polynomials on a semi-algebraic set’, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 364 (2012) 4663–4682] to compute the ring of bounded functions in this setting, and discuss applications to positive polynomials and the moment problem. Complete results are obtained in special cases, like sets defined by binomial inequalities. We also show that the wild behaviour of certain examples constructed by Krug [‘Geometric interpretations of a counterexample to Hilbert's 14th problem, and rings of bounded polynomials on semialgebraic sets’, Preprint, 2011, arXiv:1105.2029] and Mondal-Netzer [‘How fast do polynomials grow on semialgebraic sets?’, J. Algebra 413 (2014) 320–344] cannot occur in a toric setting.publishe

    Galois realizable permutation groups satisfying (P)

    No full text
    <p>The included csv file (final.csv, ; as delimiter) is a delimited text file that contains data on Galois number fields such that the Galois group satisfy property (P). For more information see our paper (J. Capco and C. Scheiderer). The file lists all the transitive permutation groups of even degree 5<2d<17 with a fixed-point-free involution (fpfi) up to automorphism that satisfy (P). These involutions are always given as the product of transpositions of the form (1,2)(3,4)...(2d-1,2d) for the MAGMA generator of the group shown in the 6th column-entry of the file. This file shows that all transitive permutation group of even degree > 5 up to degree 16 with a fixed-point-free involution that satisfy (P) is Galois realizable with a complex Galois number field so that the said involution is identified with the complex conjugation. The examples are given as polynomials whose splitting field correspond to these Galois number fields.</p> <p>Readme.txt explains how to read the csv file.</p> <p> </p&gt

    Tegenvoorbeelden voor het Helton-Nievermoeden

    No full text
    Het Helton–Nievermoeden zegt dat elke convexe, semialgebraïsche verzameling semidefiniet representeerbaar is. In december 2016 is dit vermoeden op spectaculaire wijze met tegenvoorbeelden weerlegd door de Duitse wiskundige Claus Scheiderer. In dit artikel beschrijft Jan Draisma de achtergronden van het vermoeden en de tegenvoorbeelden van Scheiderer

    Topologies on the subgroup lattice of a compact group

    No full text
    AbstractLet G be a compact topological group. The lattice ΣG of its closed subgroups is algebraic in the reversed order, hence is made a compact topological semilattice by its dual Lawson topology. A second natural order-compatible compact topology on ΣG arises from the usual topology on the set of closed subsets of G. These topologies are shown to coincide precisely if the identity component is central in G, but to be essentially different otherwise, since they also fail to satisfy natural weakenings of the equality condition. In the second part of the paper the groups G are determined in which one of the lattice operations of ΣG becomes continuous with respect to either one of these topologies; several different characterizations of these cases are also provided

    Semidefinite representation for convex hulls of real algebraic curves

    No full text
    We show that the closed convex hull of any one-dimensional semialgebraic subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n is a spectrahedral shadow, meaning that it can be written as a linear image of the solution set of some linear matrix inequality. This is proved by an application of the moment relaxation method. Given a nonsingular affine real algebraic curve CC and a compact semialgebraic subset KK of its R\mathbb{R}-points, the preordering P(K)\mathscr{P}(K) of all regular functions on CC that are nonnegative on KK is known to be finitely generated. Our main result, from which all others are derived, says that P(K)\mathscr{P}(K) is stable, meaning that uniform degree bounds exist for weighted sum of squares representations of elements of P(K)\mathscr{P}(K). We also extend this last result to the case where KK is only virtually compact. The main technical tool for the proof of stability is the archimedean local-global principle. As a consequence of our results we show that every convex semialgebraic subset of R2\mathbb{R}^2 is a spectrahedral shadow.publishe
