On some global semianalytic sets
We give some structures without quantifier elimination but in which the closure, and hence the interior and the boundary, of a quantifier free definable set is also a quantifier free definable set.

Let R be a real closed field, and denote by the ring of germs, at the origin of Rⁿ, of functions in a neighborhood of 0 ∈ Rⁿ. For each n ∈ ℕ, we construct a quasianalytic subring with some natural properties. We prove that, for each n ∈ ℕ, is a noetherian ring and if R = ℝ (the field of real numbers), then , where ₙ is the ring of germs, at the origin of ℝⁿ, of real analytic functions. Finally, we prove the Real Nullstellensatz and solve Hilbert’s 17th Problem for the ring .
By the Oka-Weil theorem, each holomorphic function f in a neighbourhood of a compact polynomially convex set can be approximated uniformly on K by complex polynomials. The famous Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem specifies the Oka-Weil result: it states that the distance (in the supremum norm on K) of f to the space of complex polynomials of degree at most n tends to zero not slower than the sequence M(f)ρ(f)ⁿ for some M(f) > 0 and ρ(f) ∈ (0,1). The aim of this note is to deduce the uniform version,...
The purpose of this paper is to carry over to the o-minimal settings some results about the Euler characteristic of algebraic and analytic sets. Consider a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure on the field ℝ of reals. A () smooth definable function φ: U → ℝ on an open set U in ℝⁿ determines two closed subsets W := u ∈ U: φ(u) ≤ 0, Z := u ∈ U: φ(u) = 0. We shall investigate the links of the sets W and Z at the points u ∈ U, which are well defined up to a definable homeomorphism. It is proven...
We consider the 17th Hilbert Problem for global real analytic functions in a modified form that involves infinite sums of squares. Then we prove a local-global principle for a real global analytic function to be a sum of squares of global real meromorphic functions. We deduce that an affirmative solution to the 17th Hilbert Problem for global real analytic functions implies the finiteness of the Pythagoras number of the field of global real meromorphic functions, hence that of the field of real...
A local-global version of the implicit function theorem in o-minimal structures and a generalization of the theorem of Wilkie on covering open sets by open cells are proven.
We use the construction of the intersection product of two algebraic cones to prove that the multiplicity of contact of the cones at the vertex is equal to the product of their degrees. We give an example to show that in order to calculate the index of contact it is not sufficient to perform the analytic intersection algorithm with hyperplanes.
An effective formula for the Łojasiewicz exponent for analytic curves in a neighbourhood of 0 ∈ ℂ is given.
The Łojasiewicz exponent of the gradient of a convergent power series h(X,Y) with complex coefficients is the greatest lower bound of the set of λ > 0 such that the inequality holds near for a certain c > 0. In the paper, we give an estimate of the Łojasiewicz exponent of grad h using information from the Newton diagram of h. We obtain the exact value of the exponent for non-degenerate series.
The paper establishes the basic algebraic theory for the Gevrey rings. We prove the Hensel lemma, the Artin approximation theorem and the Weierstrass-Hironaka division theorem for them. We introduce a family of norms and we look at them as a family of analytic functions defined on some semialgebraic sets. This allows us to study the analytic and algebraic properties of this rings.
