In this work we investigate and characterize linear functionals $L:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}$ with absolutely continuous representing measures $\mu$, i.e., $\mathrm{d}\mu(x) = g(x)\,\mathrm{d} x$ for some density $g$. We focus…

This paper deals with the moment problem on a (not necessarily finitely generated) commutative unital real algebra $A$. We define moment functionals on $A$ as linear functionals which can be written as integrals over characters of $A$ with…
