On the space of morphisms into generic real algebraic varieties

Riccardo Ghiloni (2006)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We introduce a notion of generic real algebraic variety and we study the space of morphisms into these varieties. Let Z be a real algebraic variety. We say that Z is generic if there exist a finite family { D i } i = 1 n of irreducible real algebraic curves with genus 2 and a biregular embedding of Z into the product variety i = 1 n D i . A bijective map ϕ : Z ˜ 1 Z from a real algebraic variety Z ˜ to Z is called weak change of the algebraic structure of  Z if it is regular and its inverse is a Nash map. Generic real algebraic varieties...

On the space of real algebraic morphisms

Riccardo Ghiloni (2003)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this Note, we announce several results concerning basic properties of the spaces of morphisms between real algebraic varieties. Our results show a surprising intrinsic rigidity of Real Algebraic Geometry and illustrate the great distance which, in some sense, exists between this geometry and Real Nash one. Let us give an example of this rigidity. An affine real algebraic variety X is rigid if, for each affine irreducible real algebraic variety Z , the set of all nonconstant regular morphisms from...

On total reality of meromorphic functions

Alex Degtyarev, Torsten Ekedahl, Ilia Itenberg, Boris Shapiro, Michael Shapiro (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that, if a meromorphic function of degree at most four on a real algebraic curve of an arbitrary genus has only real critical points, then it is conjugate to a real meromorphic function by a suitable projective automorphism of the image.

On Witt rings of function fields of real analytic surfaces and curves.

Piotr Jaworski (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Let V be a paracompact connected real analytic manifold of dimension 1 or 2, i.e. a smooth curve or surface. We consider it as a subset of some complex analytic manifold VC of the same dimension. Moreover by a prime divisor of V we shall mean the irreducible germ along V of a codimension one subvariety of VC which is an invariant of the complex conjugation. This notion is independent of the choice of the complexification VC. In the one-dimensional case prime divisors are just points, in the two-dimensional...

Optimal degree construction of real algebraic plane nodal curves with prescribed topology. I. The orientable case.

Francisco Santos (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We study a constructive method to find an algebraic curve in the real projective plane with a (possibly singular) topological type given in advance. Our method works if the topological model T to be realized has only double singularities and gives an algebraic curve of degree 2N+2K, where N and K are the numbers of double points and connected components of T. This degree is optimal in the sense that for any choice of the numbers N and K there exist models which cannot be realized algebraically with...

Polynomial inequalities on algebraic sets

M. Baran, W. Pleśniak (2000)

Studia Mathematica

We give an estimate of Siciak’s extremal function for compact subsets of algebraic varieties in n (resp. n ). As an application we obtain Bernstein-Walsh and tangential Markov type inequalities for (the traces of) polynomials on algebraic sets.

Positive polynomials and hyperdeterminants

Fernando Cukierman (2007)

Collectanea Mathematica

Let F be a homogeneous real polynomial of even degree in any number of variables. We consider the problem of giving explicit conditions on the coefficients so that F is positive definite or positive semi-definite. In this note we produce a necessary condition for positivity, and a sufficient condition for non-negativity, in terms of positivity or semi-positivity of a one-variable characteristic polynomial of F. Also, we revisit the known sufficient condition in terms of Hankel matrices.

Prolongements en fonctions algébriquement constructibles.

Isabelle Bonnard-Doré (2004)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In this paper we consider the following question: Let S be a semialgebraic subset of a real algebraic set V, and let φ: S → Z be a function on S. Is φ the restriction of an algebraically constructible function on V, i.e. a sum of signs of polynomials on V? We give an effective method to answer this question when φ(S) ⊂ {-1,1} or dim S ≤ 2 or S is basic.

Pseudo-real principal Higgs bundles on compact Kähler manifolds

Indranil Biswas, Oscar García-Prada, Jacques Hurtubise (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let X be a compact connected Kähler manifold equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution which is compatible with the Kähler structure. Let G be a connected complex reductive affine algebraic group equipped with a real form σ G . We define pseudo-real principal G -bundles on X . These are generalizations of real algebraic principal G -bundles over a real algebraic variety. Next we define stable, semistable and polystable pseudo-real principal G -bundles. Their relationships with the usual stable, semistable...

Quadratic mappings and configuration spaces

Gia Giorgadze (2003)

Banach Center Publications

We discuss some approaches to the topological study of real quadratic mappings. Two effective methods of computing the Euler characteristics of fibers are presented which enable one to obtain comprehensive results for quadratic mappings with two-dimensional fibers. As an illustration we obtain a complete topological classification of configuration spaces of planar pentagons.

Quantifier elimination, valuation property and preparation theorem in quasianalytic geometry via transformation to normal crossings

Krzysztof Jan Nowak (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper investigates the geometry of the expansion Q of the real field ℝ by restricted quasianalytic functions. The main purpose is to establish quantifier elimination, description of definable functions by terms, the valuation property and preparation theorem (in the sense of Parusiński-Lion-Rolin). To this end, we study non-standard models of the universal diagram T of Q in the language ℒ augmented by the names of rational powers. Our approach makes no appeal to the Weierstrass preparation...
