Ein Beweis des Hilbertschen Basissatzes.
An algebra homomorphism of the locatized affine rings of an algebraic variety is continuous in the Krull topology of the respective local rings. It is not necessarily open or closed in the Krull topology. However, we show that the induced map on the associated analytic local rings is also open and closed in the Krull topology. To do this we prove a conjecture of Tougeron which states that if is an analytic curve on an analytic variety and is a formal power series which is convergent when restricted...
Let be a continuous, piecewise-polynomial function. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture (1956) is that any such is representable in the form , for some finite collection of polynomials . (A simple example is .) In 1984, L. Mahé and, independently, G. Efroymson, proved this for ; it remains open for . In this paper we prove an analogous result for “generalized polynomials” (also known as signomials), i.e., where the exponents are allowed to be arbitrary real numbers, and not just natural numbers;...
