Polynomial relations among principal minors of a 4x4-matrix

چکیده
The image of the principal minor map for n×n-matrices is shown to be closed. In the 19th century, Nansen and Muir studied the implicitization problem of finding all relations among principal minors when n = 4. We complete their partial results by constructing explicit polynomials of degree 12 that scheme-theoretically define this affine variety and also its projective closure in P15. The latter is the main component in the singular locus of the 2×2×2×2-hyperdeterminant.

متن کاملPrincipal minors and rhombus tilings
The algebraic relations between the principal minors of an n× n matrix are somewhat mysterious, see e.g. [LS09]. We show, however, that by adding in certain almost principal minors, the relations are generated by a single relation, the so-called hexahedron relation, which is a composition of six cluster mutations. We give in particular a Laurent-polynomial parameterization of the space of n× n ...
متن کاملHyperdeterminantal relations among symmetric principal minors
The principal minors of a symmetric n×n-matrix form a vector of length 2n. We characterize these vectors in terms of algebraic equations derived from the 2×2×2-hyperdeterminant.
متن کاملA unified view on bipartite species-reaction and interaction graphs for chemical reaction networks
The Jacobian matrix of a dynamic system and its principal minors play a prominent role in the study of qualitative dynamics and bifurcation analysis. When interpreting the Jacobian as an adjacency matrix of an interaction graph, its principal minors correspond to sets of disjoint cycles in this graph and conditions for various dynamic behaviors can be inferred from its cycle structure. For chem...
