MIT, Room 2-139
Speaker:

Alexander Polyanskii - Emory


I will discuss the following result and its complex analog: For every nonzero polynomial P∈ R[x_1,…, x_n]​​ of degree n​​, there is a point of the unit ball in R^d​​ at distance at least 1/n​​ from the zero set of the polynomial P​​. Joint work with Alexey Glazyrin and Roman Karasev.
