Quillen Property of Real Algebraic Varieties

چکیده
A conjugation-invariant ideal I ⊆ C[zj , zj : j = 1, . . . , n] has the Quillen property if every real valued, strictly positive polynomial on the real zero set VR(I) ⊆ C n is a sum of hermitian squares modulo I . We first relate the Quillen property to the archimedean property from real algebra. Using hereditary calculus, we then quantize and show that the Quillen property implies the subnormality of commuting tuples of Hilbert space operators satisfying the identities in I . In the finite rank case we give a complete geometric characterization of when the identities in I imply normality for a commuting tuple of matrices. This geometric interpretation provides simple means to refute Quillen’s property of an ideal. We also generalize these notions and results from real algebraic sets to semi-algebraic sets in C.

Real algebraic morphisms represent few homotopy classes 20 th September 2005
All real algebraic varieties that appear in the present paper are assumed to be affine (that is, isomorphic to algebraic subsets of R for some n). Morphisms between real algebraic varieties are called regular maps. For background material on real algebraic geometry the reader may consult [6]. Every real algebraic variety carries also the Euclidean topology, induced by the usual metric topology ...
متن کاملThe Adams Conjecture
THIS paper contains a demonstration of the Adams conjecture [l] for real vector bundles. Unlike an old attempt of mine [12], which has recently been completed by Friedlander [S], and the proof of Sullivan [1.5], no use is made of the etale topology of algebraic varieties. The proof uses only standard techniques of algebraic topology together with some basic results on the representation rings o...
متن کاملMonoidal Algebraic Model Structures
Extending previous work, we define monoidal algebraic model structures and give examples. The main structural component is what we call an algebraic Quillen two-variable adjunction; the principal technical work is to develop the category theory necessary to characterize them. Our investigations reveal an important role played by “cellularity”—loosely, the property of a cofibration being a relat...
متن کاملThe University of Chicago Algebraic Model Structures a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Division of the Physical Sciences in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
In Part I of this thesis, we introduce algebraic model structures, a new context for homotopy theory in which the cofibrations and fibrations are retracts of coalgebras for comonads and algebras for monads and prove “algebraic” analogs of classical results. Using a modified version of Quillen’s small object argument, we show that every cofibrantly generated model structure in the usual sense un...
متن کاملSecond Order Homological Obstructions and Global Sullivan–type Conditions on Real Algebraic Varieties
It is well-known that the existence of non–algebraic Z/2–homology classes of a real algebraic manifold Y is equivalent to the existence of non–algebraic elements of the unoriented bordism group of Y and generates (first order) obstructions which prevent the possibility of realizing algebraic properties of smooth objects defined on Y . The main aim of this paper is to investigate the existence o...
