Nash Functions - Global Properties

Global Properties

The global properties are more difficult to obtain. The fact that the ring of Nash functions on a Nash manifold (even noncompact) is noetherian was proved independently (1973) by Jean-Jacques Risler and Gustave Efroymson. Nash manifolds have properties similar to but weaker than Cartan's theorems A and B on Stein manifolds. Let denote the sheaf of Nash function germs on a Nash manifold M, and be a coherent sheaf of -ideals. Assume is finite, i.e., there exists a finite open semialgebraic covering of M such that, for each i, is generated by Nash functions on . Then is globally generated by Nash functions on M, and the natural map

is surjective. However

contrarily to the case of Stein manifolds.

    As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.
    Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
