Abstract: Positivity in ast-algebras can be defined either algebraically, by quadratic modules, or analytically, by ast-representations. By the induction procedure for ast-representations we can lift the analytical notion of positivity from a ast-subalgebra to the entire ast-algebra. The aim of this paper is to define and study the induction procedure for quadratic modules. The main question is when a given quadratic module on the ast-algebra is induced from its intersection with the ast-subalgebra. This question is very hard even for the smallest quadratic module (i.e. the set of all sums of hermitian squares) and will be answered only in very special cases.
