Abstract

We show that the singularities of a matrix valued noncommutative rational function coincide with the singularities of the resolvent of a linear pencil in its minimal realization. This is essential, among other things, for some powerful applications of noncommutative realization techniques to problems in noncommutative convexity and noncommutative real semialgebraic geometry. The proof is based on a certain noncommutative differential calculus.
