It is known that for $C^{\infty }$ determining sets Markov’s property is equivalent to Bernstein’s property. We are interested in finding a generalization of this fact for sets which are not $C^{\infty }$ determining. In this paper we give examples of sets which are not $C^{\infty }$ determining, but have the Bernstein and generalized Markov properties.

Define for a smooth compact hypersurface $M^n$ of ${\mathbf{R}}^{n+1}$ its crumpleness $\kappa \left(M^n\right)$ as the ratio ${diam}_{{\mathbf{R}}^{n+1}}(M^n)/r(M^n)$, where $r\left(M^n\right)$ is the distance from $M^n$ to its central set. (In other words, $r\left(M^n\right)$ is the maximal radius of an open non-selfintersecting tube around $M^n$ in ${\mathbf{R}}^{n+1}.)$We prove that any $n$-dimensional non-singular compact algebraic hypersurface of degree $d$ is rigidly isotopic to an algebraic hypersurface of degree $d$ and of crumpleness $\le exp\left(c\right(n\left)d^{\alpha \left(n\right)d^{n+1}}\right)$. Here $c\left(n\right)$, $\alpha \left(n\right)$ depend only on $n$, and rigid isotopy means an isotopy passing only through hypersurfaces of degree...

Nel presente lavoro si studiano le applicazioni polinomiali proprie $$\phi :{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^q.$$ In particolare si prova: 1) se $\phi :{\mathbb{R}}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ è un'applicazione polinomiale tale che ${\phi }^{-1}\left(y\right)$ è compatto per ogni $y\in \mathbb{R}$, allora $\phi$ è propria; 2) se $\phi :{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^q$ è polinomiale a fibra compatta e $\phi \left({\mathbb{R}}^n\right)$ è chiuso in ${\mathbb{R}}^q$ allora $\phi$ è propria; 3) l'insieme delle applicazioni polinomiali proprie di ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^q$ è denso, nella topologia $C^{\mathrm{\infty }}$, nello spazio delle applicazioni $C^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ di ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^q$.

Let V ⊂ ℝⁿ, n ≥ 2, be an unbounded algebraic set defined by a system of polynomial equations $h₁\left(x\right)=\cdots =h_r\left(x\right)=0$ and let f: ℝⁿ→ ℝ be a polynomial. It is known that if f is positive on V then ${f|}_V$ extends to a positive polynomial on the ambient space ℝⁿ, provided V is a variety. We give a constructive proof of this fact for an arbitrary algebraic set V. Precisely, if f is positive on V then there exists a polynomial $h\left(x\right)={\sum }_{i=1}^{r}h{²}_i\left(x\right){\sigma }_i\left(x\right)$, where ${\sigma }_i$ are sums of squares of polynomials of degree at most p, such that f(x) + h(x) > 0 for x...

On s’intéresse aux difféomorphismes birationnels des surfaces algébriques réelles qui possèdent une dynamique réelle simple et une dynamique complexe riche. On donne un exemple d’une telle transformation sur ${\mathbb{P}}^1\times {\mathbb{P}}^1$, mais on montre qu’une telle situation est exceptionnelle et impose des conditions fortes à la fois sur la topologie du lieu réel et sur la dynamique réelle.
