AbstractLetRbe a real closed field, letX⊂Rnbe an irreducible real algebraic set and letZbe an algebraic subset ofXof codimension ≥ 2. Dubois and Efroymson proved the existence of an irreducible algebraic subset ofXof codimension 1 containingZ. We improve this dimension theorem as follows. Indicate by μ the minimum integer such that the ideal of polynomials inR[x1, … ,xn] vanishing onZcan be generated by polynomials of degree ≤ μ. We prove the following two results: (1) There exists a polynomialP∈R[x1, … ,xn] of degree≤ μ+1 such thatX∩P–1(0) is an irreducible algebraic subset ofXof codimension 1 containingZ. (2) LetFbe a polynomial inR[x1, … ,xn] of degreedvanishing onZ. Suppose there exists a nonsingular pointxofXsuch thatF(x) = 0 and the differential atxof the restriction ofFtoXis nonzero. Then there exists a polynomialG∈R[x1, … ,xn] of degree ≤ max﹛d, μ + 1﹜ such that, for eacht∈ (–1, 1) \ ﹛0﹜, the set ﹛x∈X|F(x) +tG(x) = 0﹜ is an irreducible algebraic subset ofXof codimension 1 containingZ. Result (1) and a slightly different version of result (2) are valid over any algebraically closed field also.

Abstract It is shown that the cardinality of a finite semi-algebraic subset over a real closed field can be computed in terms of signatures of effectively constructed quadratic forms.

This paper considers the properties of the representation of a Lie algebra when restricted to an ideal, the subduced* representation of the ideal. This point of view leads to new forms for irreducible representations of Lie algebras, once the concept of matrices of invariance is developed. This concept permits us to show that irreducible representations of a Lie algebra, over an algebraically closed field, can be expressed as a Lie-Kronecker product whose factors are associated with the representation subduced on an ideal. Conversely, if one has such factors, it is shown that they can be put together to give an irreducible representation of the Lie algebra. A valuable guide to this work was supplied by a paper of Clifford (1).

AbstractThe results obtained extend Madden’s result for Dedekind domains to more general types of 1-dimensional Noetherian rings. In particular, these results apply to piecewise polynomial functions t:C → R where R is a real closed field and C ⊆ Rn is a closed 1-dimensional semi-algebraic set, and also to the associated “relative” case where t, C are defined over some subfield K ⊆ R.

AbstractIt is shown that the following conditions on a finite-dimensional algebra A over a real closed field or an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are equivalent: (i) A admits a special involution, in the sense of Easdown and Munn, (ii) A admits a proper involution, (iii) A is semisimple.

Our setting for this paper is projective 3-space over an algebraically closed field K. By a curve C ⊂ is meant a 1-dimensional, equidimensional projective algebraic set, which is locally Cohen-Macaulay. Let be the Hartshorne-Rao module of finite length (cf. [R]). Here Z is the set of integers and ℐc the ideal sheaf of C. In [GMV] it is shown that , where is the homogeneous ideal of C, is the first local cohomology module of the R-module M with respect to . Thus there exists a smallest nonnegative integer k ∊ N such that , (see also the discussion on the 1-st local cohomology module in [GW]). Also in [GMV] it is shown that k = 0 if and only if C is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay and C is arithmetically Buchsbaum if and only if k ≤ 1. We therefore have the following natural definition.

In this paper a procedure is given whereby, from a representation of an ideal contained in the radical, explicit representations of a Lie algebra by matrices can be constructed in an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The construction is sufficiently general to permit one arbitrary eigenvalue to be assigned to the representation of each basis element of the radical not in the ideal. The theorem of Ado is proved as an application of the construction. While Ado's theorem has several proofs (1; 3; 5; 6), the present one has a value in its explicitness and in the fact that the degree of the representation can be given.

Let k be a real closed field (see § 2 for a definition). Let be an algebraic closure of k. An algebraic set denned over k is, as usual, a subset of (n some integer greater than 0) which is the set of zeros of some polynomials in k[X1, . . . , Xn]. A variety is denned to be an absolutely irreducible algebraic set. We define the real points of an algebraic set X to be the points in X ∩ kn. One can then define X to be real if I(X ∩ kn) = I(X). (I(X) = the polynomials in k[X1, . . . , Xn] which vanish on X.)

AbstractLet X ⊂ Rnn be an irreducible nonsingular algebraic set and let Z be an algebraic subset of X with dim Z ≦ dim X — 2. In this paper it is shown that there exists an irreducible algebraic subset Y of X satisfying the following conditions: dim Y = dim X — 1, Z ⊂ Y and that the ideal of regular functions on X vanishing on Y is principal.

According to [4, p. 1154], a complete L-theory T eliminates imaginaries just in case for every L-formula φ(x1,… , xm, y1, …, yn), every model M of T, and every ā Є Mn, there is a subset A of M's domain with the following property: if N ≽ M and f is an automorphism of N, thenif and only ifAmong the several equivalent conditions discussed in [4, p. 1155], one may single out the following: if T is a complete theory in which two distinct objects are definable, T eliminates imaginaries just in case every T-definable n-ary equivalence relation may be defined by a formulawhere g is a T-definable n-ary function taking k-tuples as values (for some natural number k).Say that an L-structure M eliminates imaginaries just in case Th(M) does. If L is the language of rings with unit, [4, p. 1158] shows that any algebraically closed field eliminates imaginaries, and [2, p. 629] points out that any real-closed field eliminates imaginaries.

AbstractWe study the strong simple connectedness of finite-dimensional tame algebras over an algebraically closed field, for which the Auslander–Reiten quiver admits a separating family of almost cyclic coherent components. As the main application we describe all analytically rigid algebras in this class.
