Let $M\subset {ℝ}^n$ be a real-analytic submanifold and H(M) the algebra of real analytic functions on M. If K ⊂ M is a compact subset we consider $S_K=f\in H\left(M\right)\left|f\right(x)\ne 0forallx\in K$; $S_K$ is a multiplicative subset of $H\left(M\right)$. Let $S_K^{-1}H\left(M\right)$ be the localization of H(M) with respect to $S_K$. In this paper we prove, first, that $S_K^{-1}H\left(M\right)$ is a regular ring (hence noetherian) and use this result in two situations:    1) For each open subset $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, we denote by O(Ω) the subalgebra of H(Ω) defined as follows: f ∈ O(Ω) if and only if for all x ∈ Ω, the germ of f at x, $f_x$, is algebraic...

Let f be a germ of plane curve, we define the δ-degree of sufficiency of f to be the smallest integer r such that for anuy germ g such that j(r) f = j(r) g then there is a set of disjoint annuli in S3 whose boundaries consist of a component of the link of f and a component of the link of g. We establish a formula for the δ-degree of sufficiency in terms of link invariants of plane curves singularities and, as a consequence of this formula, we obtain that the δ-degree of sufficiency is equal to the...
