DESCRIPTION:Francis Bach - Inria\, Paris\nAbstract :\nThe representation o
 f non-negative functions as sums of squares has become an important tool i
 n many modeling and optimization tasks. Traditionally applied to polynomia
 l functions\, it requires rich tools from algebraic geometry that led to 
 many developments in the last twenty years. In this lecture\, I will look 
 at this problem from a functional analysis point of view\, leading to new
  applications and new results on the performance of sum-of-squares optimiz
 ation.\n\n\n\nPlease register on the following form : https://docs.google.
