On Extremal Rational Elliptic Surfaces.
We give a characterization of the irreducible components of a Weierstrass-type (W-type) analytic (resp. algebraic, Nash) variety in terms of the orbits of a Galois group associated in a natural way to this variety. Since every irreducible variety of pure dimension is (locally) a component of a W-type variety, this description may be applied to any such variety.
Let Y be a real algebraic subset of and be a polynomial map. We show that there exist real polynomial functions on such that the Euler characteristic of fibres of is the sum of signs of .
The paper is concerned with an effective formula for the Euler characteristic of the link of a weighted homogeneous mapping with an isolated singularity. The formula is based on Szafraniec’s method for calculating the Euler characteristic of a real algebraic manifold (as the signature of an appropriate bilinear form). It is shown by examples that in the case of a weighted homogeneous mapping it is possible to make the computer calculations of the Euler characteristics much more effective.
