Pell’s equation, sum-of-squares and equilibrium measures on a compact set

We first interpret Pell’s equation satisfied by Chebyshev polynomials for each degree $t$, as a certain Positivstellensatz, which then yields for each integer $t$, what we call a generalized Pell’s equation, satisfied by reciprocals of Christoffel functions of “degree” $2t$, associated with the equi...
