A Vergleichsstellensatz of Strassen's Type for a Noncommutative Preordered Semialgebra through the Semialgebra of its Fractions
share
Preordered semialgebras and semirings are two kinds of algebraic structures occurring in real algebraic geometry frequently and usually play important roles therein. They have many interesting and promising applications in the fields of real algebraic geometry, probability theory, theoretical computer science, quantum information theory, etc.. In these applications, Strassen's Vergleichsstellensatz and its generalized versions, which are analogs of those Positivstellensätze in real algebraic geometry, play important roles. While these Vergleichsstellensätze accept only a commutative setting (for the semirings in question), we prove in this paper a noncommutative version of one of the generalized Vergleichsstellensätze proposed by Fritz [Comm. Algebra, 49 (2) (2021), pp. 482-499]. The most crucial step in our proof is to define the semialgebra of the fractions of a noncommutative semialgebra, which generalizes the definitions in the literature. Our new Vergleichsstellensatz characterizes the relaxed preorder on a noncommutative semialgebra induced by all monotone homomorphisms to ℝ_+ by three other equivalent conditions on the semialgebra of its fractions equipped with the derived preorder, which may result in more applications in the future.
