On the irreducible components of globally defined semianalytic sets.

Abstract

t In this work we present the concept of amenable C-semianalytic subset of a real analytic manifold M and study the main properties of this type of sets. Amenable C-semianalytic sets can be understood as globally defined semianalytic sets with a neat behavior with respect to Zariski closure. This fact allows us to develop a natural definition of irreducibility and the corresponding theory of irreducible components for amenable Csemianalytic sets. These concepts generalize the parallel ones for: complex algebraic and analytic sets, C-analytic sets, Nash sets and semialgebraic sets.
