Complexity of Stratifications of Semi-Pfaffian Sets.
This paper is devoted to the computation of distance to set, called S, defined by polynomial equations. First we consider the case of quadratic systems. Then, application of results stated for quadratic systems to the quadratic equivalent of polynomial systems (see [5]), allows us to compute distance to semi-algebraic sets. Problem of computing distance can be viewed as non convex minimization problem: , where u is in . To have, at least, lower approximation of distance, we consider the dual...
We present a characterization of sums of signs of global analytic functions on a real analytic manifold M of dimension two. Unlike the algebraic case, obstructions at infinity are not relevant: a function is a sum of signs on M if and only if this is true on each compact subset of M. This characterization gives a necessary and sufficient condition for an analytically constructible function, i.e. a linear combination with integer coefficients of Euler characteristic of fibers of proper analytic morphisms,...
In this paper we construct non-trivial examples of blow-analytic isomorphisms and we obtain, via toric modifications, an inverse function theorem in this category. We also show that any analytic curve in , can be deformed via a rational blow- analytic isomorphism of , to a smooth analytic arc.
Deux types de courbures sont associés à un sous-ensemble compact et définissable d'une variété riemannienne analytique réelle. Si la variété est de courbure constante, il y a des relations linéaires entre ces mesures. Comme application, nous démontrons une formule cinématique, définissons des densités locales, et nous étudions les volumes des simplexes réguliers.
In an earlier paper [6], we gave an explicit geometric description of the group law on the neutral component of the set of real points of the Jacobian of a smooth quartic curve. Here, we generalize this description to curves of higher genus. We get a description of the group law on the neutral component of the set of real points of the Jacobian of a smooth curve in terms of cubic differential forms. When applied to canonical curves, one gets an explicit geometric description of this group law by...
Every compact smooth manifold is diffeomorphic to a nonsingular real algebraic set, called an algebraic model of . We study modulo 2 homology classes represented by algebraic subsets of , as runs through the class of all algebraic models of . Our main result concerns the case where is a spin manifold.
