Welcome

The main objectives of this workshop was to bring together senior leading and promising young researchers actively involved in the recent emerging developments in Real Algebraic Geometry with a particular focus on:

  • Positivity and sums of squares
  • Convex algebraic geometry
  • Noncommutative real algebraic geometry
  • Polynomial Optimization

The workshop was held within the framework of the Forschungsinitiative "Real Algebraic Geometry and Emerging Applications" of the University of Konstanz.
