Ternary sextics and quaternary quartics are the smallest cases where there exist nonnegative polynomials that are not sums of squares (SOS). A complete classification of the difference between these cones was given by G. Blekherman via…
In this article, we combine sums of squares (SOS) and sums of nonnegative circuit (SONC) forms, two independent nonnegativity certificates for real homogeneous polynomials. We consider the convex cone SOS+SONC of forms that decompose into a…
We show that the set of real polynomials in two variables that are sums of three squares of rational functions is dense in the set of those that are positive semidefinite. We also prove that the set of real surfaces in P^3 whose function…
We determine the Hodge endomorphism algebras of non-projective complex K3 surfaces (and more generally, hyperk\"ahler manifolds). We show that they are either totally real fields or number fields generated by Salem numbers. This is unlike…
Hankel spectrahedra are the dual convex cones to the cone of sums of squares of real polynomials, and we study them from the point of view of convex algebraic geometry. We show that the Zariski closure of the union of all extreme rays of…
We study dimensions of the faces of the cone of nonnegative polynomials and the cone of sums of squares; we show that there are dimensional differences between corresponding faces of these cones. These dimensional gaps occur in all cases…
We initiate a systematic study of nonnegative polynomials $P$ such that $P^k$ is not a sum of squares for any odd $k\geq 1$, calling such $P$ \emph{stubborn}. We develop a new invariant of a real isolated zero of a nonnegative polynomial in…
A celebrated result by Hilbert says that every real nonnegative ternary quartic is a sum of three squares. We show more generally that every nonnegative quadratic form on a real projective variety $X$ of minimal degree is a sum of…
In this note we derive from deep results due to Clozel-Ullmo the density of Noether-Lefschetz loci inside the moduli space of marked (polarized) irreducible holomorphic symplectic (IHS) varieties. In particular we obtain the density of…
We study the boundary of the cone of real polynomials that can be decomposed as a sum of squares (SOS) of real polynomials. This cone is included in the cone of nonnegative polynomials and both cones share a part of their boundary, which…

For a semialgebraic set K in R^n, let P_d(K) be the cone of polynomials in R^n of degrees at most d that are nonnegative on K. This paper studies the geometry of its boundary. When K=R^n and d is even, we show that its boundary lies on the…
We complete the classification of order $5$ nonsymplectic automorphisms on hyper-K\"ahler fourfolds deformation equivalent to the Hilbert square of a K3 surface. We then compute the topological Lefschetz number of natural automorphisms of…
In this paper, the geometry properties of Hankel form are studied, including their positive semi-definite (PSD) cone and sum-of-squares (SOS) cone. We denote them by $HPSD(m,n)$ and $HSOS(m,n)$, respectively. We show that both $HPSD(m,n)$…
We investigate properties of Waring decompositions of real homogeneous forms. We study the moduli of real decompositions, so-called Space of Sums of Powers, naturally included in the Variety of Sums of Powers. Explicit results are obtained…
The cone of nonnegative polynomials is of fundamental importance in real algebraic geometry, but its facial structure is understood in very few cases. We initiate a systematic study of the facial structure of the cone of nonnegative…
We show that for every $k\ge 3$ there exist complex algebraic cones of dimension $k$ with isolated singularities, which are bi-Lipschitz and semi-algebraically equivalent but they have different degrees. We also prove that homeomorphic…
Let X be a real nondegenerate projective subvariety such that its set of real points is Zariski dense. We prove that every real quadratic form that is nonnegative on X is a sum of squares of linear forms if and only if X is a variety of…
We construct the moduli space of cubic surfaces which do not admit a Sylvester form as an arithmetic quotient, and determine the graded ring of modular forms of even weights.
We study the boundary of the nonnegative trigonometric polynomials from the algebraic point of view. In particularly, we show that it is a subset of an irreducible algebraic hypersurface and established its explicit form in terms of…
