Abstract
A classical problem in real geometry concerns the representation of positive semidefinite elements of a ring A as sums of squares of elements of A. If A is an excellent ring of dimension ≥3, it is already known that it contains positive semidefinite elements that cannot be represented as sums of squares in A. The one dimensional local case has been afforded by Scheiderer (mainly when its residue field is real closed). In this work we focus on the 2-dimensional case and determine (under some mild conditions) which local excellent henselian rings A of embedding dimension 3 have the property that every positive semidefinite element of A is a sum of squares of elements of A.
