The ratio field of values, properties and related objects
 
 
Description:  A variation on the classical field of values recently arose in numerical analysis. Instead of one matrix, it is a function of two, in which each set element is a ratio of Hermitian quadratic forms at the same vector, as the vectors run over the unit sphere. In the denominator is a matrix without 0 in its field. This summer this set was studied for its own sake, by a small research group, including the speaker, in William and Mary's REU program. This lead to a number of very interesting and subtle results. We survey the properties found and compare them to further generalizations of the usual field.
