  1. Positivstellens\"atze for Algebras of Matrices.

    Abstract

    The paper is concerned with various types of noncommutative
    Positivstellens\"atze for the matrix algebra $M_n(\cA)$, where $\cA$ 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
    $M_n(\cA)$ provided that it holds for $\cA$.

    Abstract

    Let $\cX$ be the unital *-algebra generated by the unilateral shift operator.
    It is shown that for any nonnegative operator $X\in \cX$ there is an element
    $Y\in \cX$ such that $X=Y^*Y$.
