For the truncated multidimensional moment problem we introduce a notion of a canonical solution. Namely, canonical solutions are those solutions which are generated by commuting self-adjoint extensions inside the associated Hilbert space.…
This manuscript transfers the main aspects of Prony's method from finitely-supported measures to the classes of signed or non-negative measures supported on algebraic varieties of any dimension. In particular, we show that the Zariski…
We present tracial analogs of the classical results of Curto and Fialkow on moment matrices. A sequence of real numbers indexed by words in non-commuting variables with values invariant under cyclic permutations of the indexes, is called a…

When the algebraic variety associated with a truncated moment sequence is finite, solving the moment problem follows a well-defined procedure. However, moment problems involving infinite algebraic varieties are more complex and less…
We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…
Let A be a finite subset of N^n, and K be a compact semialgebraic set in R^n. An A-tms is a vector y indexed by elements in A. The A-truncated K-moment problem (A-TKMP) studies whether a given A-tms y admits a K-measure or not. This paper…
The aim of this paper is to study the full $K-$moment problem for measures supported on some particular non-linear subsets $K$ of an infinite dimensional vector space. We focus on the case of random measures, that is $K$ is a subset of all…
