Real Algebraic Geometry

This paper gives a survey, with detailed references to the literature, on recent developments in real algebra and geometry concerning the polarity between positivity and sums of squares. After a review of foundational material, the topics covered are Positiv- and Nichtnegativstellensatze, local rings, Pythagoras numbers, and applications to moment problems.

Positivity and sums of squares: A guide to recent results

In his celebrated paper in 1976, A Connes casually remarked that any finite von Neumann algebra ought to be embedded into an ultraproduct of matrix algebras, which is now known as the Connes embedding conjecture or problem This conjecture became one of the central open problems in the field of operator algebras since E Kirchberg’s seminal work in 1993 that proves it is equivalent to a variety of other seemingly totally unrelated but important conjectures in the field Since then, many more equivalents of the conjecture have been found, also in some other branches of mathematics such as noncommutative real algebraic geometry and quantum information theory In this note, we present a survey of this conjecture with a focus on the algebraic aspects of it

Quadratic and hermitian forms over rings

We begin a systematic study of positivity and moment problems in an equivariant setting. Given a reductive group $G$ over $\R$ acting on an affine $\R$-variety $V$, we consider the induced dual action on the coordinate ring $\R[V]$ and on the linear dual space of $\R[V]$. In this setting, given an invariant closed semialgebraic subset $K$ of $V(\R)$, we study the problem of representation of invariant nonnegative polynomials on $K$ by invariant sums of squares, and the closely related problem of representation of invariant linear functionals on $\R[V]$ by invariant measures supported on $K$. To this end, we analyse the relation between quadratic modules of $\R[V]$ and associated quadratic modules of the (finitely generated) subring $\R[V]^G$ of invariant polynomials. We apply our results to investigate the finite solvability of an equivariant version of the multidimensional $K$-moment problem. Most of our results are specific to the case where the group $G(\R)$ is compact.

Sums of squares and moment problems in equivariant situations

This article takes up the challenge of extending the classical Real Nullstellensatz of Dubois and Risler to left ideals in a *-algebra A. After introducing the notions of non-commutative zero sets and real ideals, we develop three themes related to our basic question: does an element p of A having zero set containing the intersection of zero sets of elements from a finite set S of A belong to the smallest real ideal containing S? Firstly, we construct some general theory which shows that if a canonical topological closure of certain objects are permitted, then the answer is yes, while at the purely algebraic level it is no. Secondly for every finite subset S of the free *-algebra R of polynomials in g indeterminates and their formal adjoints, we give an implementable algorithm which computes the smallest real ideal containing S and prove that the algorithm succeeds in a finite number of steps. Lastly we provide examples of noncommutative real ideals for which a purely algebraic non-commutative real Nullstellensatz holds. For instance, this includes the real (left) ideals generated by a finite sets S in the *-algebra of n by n matrices whose entries are polynomials in one-variable. Further, explicit sufficient conditions on a left ideal in R are given which cover all the examples of such ideals of which we are aware and significantly more.

Real algebraic geometry for matrices over commutative rings

We generalize the notion of and results on maximal proper quadratic modules from commutative unital rings to ∗-rings and discuss the relation of this generalization to recent developments in noncommutative real algebraic geometry. The simplest example of a maximal proper quadratic module is the cone of all positive semidefinite complex matrices of a fixed dimension. We show that the support of a maximal proper quadratic module is the symmetric part of a prime ∗-ideal, that every maximal proper quadratic module in a Noetherian ∗-ring comes from a maximal proper quadratic module in a simple artinian ring with involution and that maximal proper quadratic modules satisfy an intersection theorem. As an application we obtain the following extension of Schmudgen’s Strict Positivstellensatz for the Weyl algebra: Let c be an element of the Weyl algebra $\mathcal{W}(d)$ which is not negative semidefinite in the Schrodinger representation. It is shown that under some conditions there exists an integer k and elements $r_1,\ldots,r_k \in \mathcal{W}(d)$ such that ∑j=1krjcrj∗ is a finite sum of hermitian squares. This result is not a proper generalization however because we don’t have the bound k ≤d.

Maximal Quadratic Modules on ∗-rings

We present a new approach to noncommutative real algebraic geometry based on the representation theory of $C^\ast$-algebras. An important result in commutative real algebraic geometry is Jacobi's representation theorem for archimedean quadratic modules on commutative rings, \cite[Theorem 5]{jacobi}. We show that this theorem is a consequence of the Gelfand-Naimark representation theorem for commutative $C^\ast$-algebras. A noncommutative version of Gelfand-Naimark theory was studied by I. Fujimoto. We use his results to generalize Jacobi's theorem to associative rings with involution.
