Embeddings and triangulations of real analytic varieties

This is a follow up question to my answer here How do you define the Euler Characteristic of a scheme? A real analytic space is a ringed space locally isomorphic to $(X,O/I)$ where $X$ is the zero ...

Polynomials (or analytic functions) vanishing on a real algebraic set

I have seen the following result stated several times in the literature, without proof: Let $\mathbb{K}$ be $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, and assume $P\in\mathbb{K}[X_{1},\ldots,X_{n}]$ is an ...

Are continuous rational functions arc-analytic?

Let $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ be a smooth semi-algebraic set (for simplicity we can assume $X=B(0,r)$ is a small ball around the origin). A function $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called a continuous ...

How to tell if a second-order curve goes below the $x$ axis?

Suppose we have a second-order curve in general form: (1) $a_{11}x^{2}+2a_{12}xy+a_{22}y^{2}+2a_{13}x+2a_{23}y+a_{33}=0$. I'd like to know if there is a simple condition that ensures that the curve ...

Sheaves of functions on open semi-algebraic sets

Let $U\subsetneq\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open semi-algebraic set which is not Zariski open (the case I have in mind is that of an open ball $B(0,1)$). A function $f:U\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called (1) ...
