This paper studies Positivstellens\"atze and moment problems for sets $K$ that are given by universal quantifiers. Let $Q$ be a closed set and let $g = (g_1,...,g_s)$ be a tuple of polynomials in two vector variables $x$ and $y$. Then $K$…

We show that the multivariate generating function of appropriately normalized moments of a measure with homogeneous polynomial density supported on a compact polytope P in R^d is a rational function. Its denominator is the product of linear…

Let $K$ be a compact subset of a totally-real manifold $M$, where $M$ is either a $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth graph in $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$ over $\mathbb{C}^n$, or $M=u^{-1}\{0\}$ for a $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth submersion $u$ from $\mathbb{C}^n$ to…

This paper is about the moment problem on a finite-dimensional vector space of continuous functions. We investigate the structure of the convex cone of moment functionals (supporting hyperplanes, exposed faces, inner points) and treat…

We discuss conditions under which a convex cone $\K\subset \R^{\Omega}$ admits a probability $m$ such that $\sup_{k\in \K} m(k)\leq0$. Based on these, we also characterize linear functionals that admit the representation as finitely…

Suppose that $\sA$ is a finitely generated commutative unital real algebra and $K$ is a closed subset of the set $\hat{A}$ of characters of $\sA$. We study the following problem: When is {\it each} linear functional $L:{\sA} \to \dR$ an…

Given a proper cone $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, a multivariate polynomial $f \in \mathbb{C}[z] = \mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ is called $K$-stable if it does not have a root whose vector of the imaginary parts is contained in the interior…
