\section{The real Nullstellensatz} |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When $k$ is algebraically closed, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz implies |
|
|
|
|
|
$\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I)) = \sqrt{I}$ for all ideal |
|
|
|
|
|
$I \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$. In this section we try to compute |
|
|
|
|
|
$\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I))$ when $k$ is a real-closed field. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{definition}[] |
|
|
|
|
|
Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field and let $A$ be a commutative $k$-algebra with unit. |
|
|
|
|
|
An ideal $I \subseteq A$ is called a \emph{real ideal} if it satisfies the following condition: If |
|
|
|
|
|
$\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_r > 0$ in $k$ and $a_1, \ldots, a_r \in A$ satisfy |
|
|
|
|
|
\[ |
|
|
|
|
|
\sum_{j=1}^{r} \lambda_j a_j^2 \in I |
|
|
|
|
|
,\] then $a_j \in I$ for all $j$. |
|
|
|
|
|
$A$ is a \emph{real algebra} if the zero ideal in $A$ is |
|
|
|
|
|
a real ideal. |
|
|
|
|
|
\end{definition} |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{satz} |
|
|
|
|
|
Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field and let $Z \subseteq k^{n}$ be a subset. Then the ideal |
|
|
|
|
|
$\mathcal{I}(Z)$ is a real ideal. |
|
|
|
|
|
\end{satz} |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{proof} |
|
|
|
|
|
If $Z = \emptyset$, then $\mathcal{I}(Z) = \mathcal{I}(\emptyset) = k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ is |
|
|
|
|
|
a real ideal. Now assume $Z \neq \emptyset$. In this case, if $P_1, \ldots, P_r \in k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ |
|
|
|
|
|
and $\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_r > 0$ in $k$ are such that |
|
|
|
|
|
$\sum_{j=1}^{r} \lambda_j P_j^2 \in \mathcal{I}(Z)$, then |
|
|
|
|
|
for all $x \in Z$, $\sum_{j=1}^{r} \lambda_j P_j^2(x) = 0$ in $k$. Since |
|
|
|
|
|
$k$ is an ordered field and $\lambda_j > 0$ for all $j$, this implies |
|
|
|
|
|
that for all $j$, $P_j(x) = 0$, i.e. $P_j \in \mathcal{I}(Z)$. |
|
|
|
|
|
\end{proof} |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recall that if $k$ is an arbitrary field and $I \subsetneq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ is a proper ideal, |
|
|
|
|
|
then finding a common zero $x \in L^{n}$ to all polynomials $P \in I$ for some extension $L$ of $k$ |
|
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to finding a homomorphism of $k$-algebras |
|
|
|
|
|
\[ |
|
|
|
|
|
\varphi\colon k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]/I \longrightarrow L |
|
|
|
|
|
.\] Indeed, the correspondence is obtained by sending such a $\varphi$ |
|
|
|
|
|
to $x = (x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ where $x_i = \varphi(T_i \text{ mod } I)$. The basic |
|
|
|
|
|
result should be about giving sufficient conditions for such homomorphisms to exist. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{theorem}[Real Nullstellensatz I] |
|
|
|
|
|
Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field and let $k^{(r)}$ be the real closure of $k$. Let |
|
|
|
|
|
$I \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a real ideal. Then there exists a homomorphism |
|
|
|
|
|
of $k$-algebras |
|
|
|
|
|
\[ |
|
|
|
|
|
k[T_1, \ldots, T_n] / I \longrightarrow k^{(r)} |
|
|
|
|
|
.\] In particular, if $I \subsetneq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ is a proper real ideal, then |
|
|
|
|
|
$\mathcal{V}_{k^{r}}(I) \neq \emptyset$. |
|
|
|
|
|
\label{thm:real-nullstellensatz} |
|
|
|
|
|
\end{theorem} |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field. For the proof of \ref{thm:real-nullstellensatz}, we need |
|
|
|
|
|
two lemmata: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{lemma} |
|
|
|
|
|
Let $I \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a real ideal. Then $\sqrt{I} = I$. Moreover, |
|
|
|
|
|
if $\mathfrak{p} \supset I$ is a minimal prime ideal containing $I$, then |
|
|
|
|
|
$\mathfrak{p}$ is real. |
|
|
|
|
|
\end{lemma} |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{lemma} |
|
|
|
|
|
Let $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a prime ideal. Then the fraction field |
|
|
|
|
|
\[ |
|
|
|
|
|
K \coloneqq \operatorname{Frac}\left( k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]/\mathfrak{p} \right) |
|
|
|
|
|
\] is a real field if and only if the prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ is real. In that case |
|
|
|
|
|
$K$ can be ordered in a way that extends the order of $k$. |
|
|
