Operator-Valued Positivstellensätze on Matrix Convex Sets and Free Products of Finite Abelian Groups
Abhay Jindal, Igor Klep, Scott McCullough
We prove a Positivstellensatz for operator-valued noncommutative polynomials that are positive on matrix convex sets. Specifically, let be an operator-valued polynomial in $B(H…

Positive operator-valued noncommutative polynomials are squares
Abhay Jindal, Igor Klep, Scott McCullough
We establish operator-valued versions of the earlier foundational factorization results for noncommutative polynomials due to Helton (Ann.~Math., 2002) and one of the authors (Line…
