Their interplay\nbetween algebra and geo metry is studied in terms of Positivstellen-\nstze\, real analogs of the N ullstellensatz\, which go back to Artin's\nsolution of Hilbert's 17th prob lem. I will describe some of the state\nof the art in this eld\, and then introduce a new Positivstellensatz\nwhich unies and generalizes several of the existing ones.\n DTSTAMP:20250602T071725Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
