Questions in which polynomials (single or several variables) play a key role. It is typically important that this tag is combined with other tags; polynomials appear in very different contexts. Please, use at least one of the top-level tags, such as nt.number-theory, co.combinatorics, ac.commutative-algebra, in addition to it. Also, note the more specific tags for some special types of polynomials, e.g., orthogonal-polynomials, symmetric-polynomials.

Which polynomials in the minors of a matrix are invariant under conjugation?

These $\text{GL}(\bigwedge^k \mathbb{R}^n)$ -invariant polynomials are classified. … Perhaps this is not a coincidence-maybe all $\text{GL}(n)$-invariant polynomials of the $k$-minors are "factored" through the determinant in some way. …

Can we recover all $k$-minors of a square matrix from some of them?

This is a cross-post. Let $k,n$ be natural numbers, $1<k<n$. Suppose we have an "unknown" invertible $n \times n$ matrix $A$ over a field of characteristic zero. (we do not know the entries of $A$). …

Is the smallest root of this quartic always the closest point on the Hyperbola? [closed]

Let $a>b>0$. Suppose we want to minimize $$ f(x)=(x-a)^2+(1/x-b)^2, $$ over $x>0$. Equating $f'(x)=0$ leads to the quartic equation $$ g(x)=x^4-ax^3+bx-1=0. \tag{1} $$ Question: Is the smallest positi …
