Nonnegative polynomials are of fundamental interest in the field of real algebraic geometry. We will discuss a model of nonnegative polynomials over an interesting class of algebraic varieties which have potential applications in optimization theory. In particular, we will discuss connections between this subject and algebraic topology and the geometry of simplicial complexes.
