1205.3248 (Alexis Drouot - Maciej Zworski)

A quantitative version of the Catlin-D'Angelo-Quillen theorem    [PDF]

Alexis Drouot - Maciej Zworski
A theorem proved by Quillen and by Catlin and D'Angelo states that a bi-homogeneous form on a multidimensional complex space which is positive away from zero can be written as a sum of squares of absolute values of polynomials once it is multiplied by the norm raised to a sufficiently high even power. In this note we provide a quantitative version of this theorem by giving an upper bound on the minimal power. This bound is roughly (n+m)^3 log(n), where n is the dimension and m the degree of the form.
