In this note we discuss an analog of the classical Waring problem for C[x_0..x_n]. Namely, we show that a general homogeneous polynomial p in C[x_0..x_n] of degree divisible by k≥2 can be represented as a sum of at most k^n k-th powers of homogeneous polynomials in C[x_0..x_n]. Noticeably, k^n coincides with the number obtained by naive dimension count.

Abstract

In this note we discuss an analog of the classical Waring problem for C[x_0..x_n]. Namely, we show that a general homogeneous polynomial p in C[x_0..x_n] of degree divisible by k≥2 can be represented as a sum of at most k^n k-th powers of homogeneous polynomials in C[x_0..x_n]. Noticeably, k^n coincides with the number obtained by naive dimension count.
