Abstract
Let be a locally convex topology on the countable dimensional polynomial -algebra . Let be a closed subset of , and let be a finitely generated quadratic module in . We investigate the following question: When is the cone (of polynomials nonnegative on ) included in the closure of ? We give an interpretation of this inclusion with respect to representing continuous linear functionals by measures. We discuss several examples; we compute the closure of with respect to weighted norm- topologies. We show that this closure coincides with the cone where is a certain convex compact polyhedron.
