| Beschreibung: | A polynomial with real coefficients is nonnegative if it takes on only nonnegative values. For example, any sum of squares is obviously nonnegative. For a homogeneous polynomial with respect to the standard grading, Hilbert famously characterized when the converse statement hold, i.e. when every nonnegative homogeneous polynomial is a sum of squares. After reviewing the history of this problem, we will examine this converse for homogenous polynomials with respect to a positive multigrading (or more generally global sections of a line bundle). In particular, we will provide many new examples in which every nonnegative homogeneous polynomial is a sum of squares. The new results in this talk are based on joint work with Grigoriy Blekherman and Mauricio Velasco. |
