Nov 26, 2015 at 22:03 comment added Aaron Meyerowitz As noted, for each $t$ there is a non-zero polynomial in $2t$ variables with all terms of degree $2t$ which is zero for any choice of $m \times m$ matrices, provided $m \le t.$ You gave the example for $t=1.$ But I'd guess that for all $m$ one does get $P=0.$
Nov 26, 2015 at 22:01 comment added thib Thanks David for your answer. But I don't want to fix the size of the matrices. I will make some edit.
