    The Moment Problem for Continuous Positive Semidefinite Linear functionals

    Full text link
    Let Ï„\tau be a locally convex topology on the countable dimensional polynomial R\reals-algebra \rx:=\reals[X_1,...,X_n]. Let KK be a closed subset of Rn\reals^n, and let M:=M{g1,...gs}M:=M_{\{g_1, ... g_s\}} be a finitely generated quadratic module in \rx. We investigate the following question: When is the cone \Pos(K) (of polynomials nonnegative on KK) included in the closure of MM? We give an interpretation of this inclusion with respect to representing continuous linear functionals by measures. We discuss several examples; we compute the closure of M=\sos with respect to weighted norm-pp topologies. We show that this closure coincides with the cone \Pos(K) where KK is a certain convex compact polyhedron.Comment: 14 page
