Positivstellens\"atze for Algebras of Matrices

Abstract

The paper is concerned with various types of noncommutative Positivstellens\"atze for the matrix algebra Mn(), where is an algebra of operators acting on a unitary space, a path algebra, a cyclic algebra or a formally real field. Some new types of Positivstellens\"atze are proposed and proved, it is shown by examples that they occur. There are a number of results stating that a type of Positivstellensatz is valid for Mn() provided that it holds for .
