Parusinski's “Key Lemma” via algebraic geometry.
We give an estimate of Siciak’s extremal function for compact subsets of algebraic varieties in (resp. ). As an application we obtain Bernstein-Walsh and tangential Markov type inequalities for (the traces of) polynomials on algebraic sets.
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.
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.
Let be a compact connected Kähler manifold equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution which is compatible with the Kähler structure. Let be a connected complex reductive affine algebraic group equipped with a real form . We define pseudo-real principal -bundles on . These are generalizations of real algebraic principal -bundles over a real algebraic variety. Next we define stable, semistable and polystable pseudo-real principal -bundles. Their relationships with the usual stable, semistable...
