Schur polynomials and matrix positivity preservers

Alexander Belton, Dominique Guillot, Apoorva Khare, Mihai Putinar

摘要:

Schoenberg(1942)的一个经典结果确定了所有实值函数在逐点应用于任意维数的矩阵时保持半正定性(psd)。勋伯格的工作继续吸引了极大的兴趣,包括最近重新关注由于应用在高维统计。然而,尽管在这一领域做了大量的努力,在一个固定的维度上保持积极性的入口函数的有效特征仍然是难以捉摸的。作为第一步,我们刻画了一类新的多项式保持正性在固定的维度。我们的主要结果的证明是表示理论,并采用舒尔多项式。另一种变分方法也导致了几个有趣的结果,包括(a)迄今未探索的舒伯特细胞型分层的PSD矩阵锥,(b)新的连接之间的广义瑞利矩阵的阿达玛权力和舒尔多项式,和(c)阿达玛权力的联合内核的描述。

英文摘要:

A classical result by Schoenberg (1942) identifies all real-valued functions that preserve positive semidefiniteness (psd) when applied entrywise to matrices of arbitrary dimension. Schoenberg's work has continued to attract significant interest, including renewed recent attention due to applications in high-dimensional statistics. However, despite a great deal of effort in the area, an effective characterization of entrywise functions preserving positivity in a fixed dimension remains elusive to date. As a first step, we characterize new classes of polynomials preserving positivity in fixed dimension. The proof of our main result is representation theoretic, and employs Schur polynomials. An alternate, variational approach also leads to several interesting consequences including (a) a hitherto unexplored Schubert cell-type stratification of the cone of psd matrices, (b) new connections between generalized Rayleigh quotients of Hadamard powers and Schur polynomials, and (c) a description of the joint kernels of Hadamard powers.
