##### Abstract

We consider real varieties in Kn∕k, where K∕k is maximally ordered and k is dense in K. Our principal results are:

Theorem 1. Assume V is irreducible. A. The closure of the set of all simple points equals the set of all central points — z V is central if some order of k(V )∕k contains every function which is positive at z. B. If f + r is totally positive in k(V )∕k for every positive r in k, then f itself is totally positive.

Theorem 2. For a semi-algebraic set S in Kn defined by polynomial relations bj(x) = 0, gi(x) > 0 (1 i,j m), define B = (b1,,bm), G = {g1,,gm}. Then every irreducible component of V k(B) contains central points on S if and only if () for 0 < pi k, gij G, ai k[X], ipiΠjgij ai2 implies every ai .
