Jan 5, 2011 at 3:50 comment added Hugo Chapdelaine Well in general we have the following result: Thm (a) Let $Y$ be a quasi-projective variety defined over $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$ and let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be an finite etale morphism defined over $\mathbf{C}$ then $X$ can be defined over $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$. One direction of Belyi's theorem is a special case of Thm (a) above when you take $Y=P^1-\{0,1,\infty\}$. I guess that the "tentative theorem" of the question readily implies Thm (a).
Jan 4, 2011 at 19:32 comment added Makhalan Duff How would this fit with Belyi's theorem in the dimension=1 case?

Jan 2, 2011 at 20:25 comment added Hugo Chapdelaine Yes there might be some algebraic relations but I don't think it is a problem. I should probably rephrase the question in terms of derivations of $\mathbb{C}$ over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. thanks for your comment.
Jan 2, 2011 at 17:06 comment added Qfwfq What if there are algebraic relations between the various coefficients $t_i$?
Dec 31, 2010 at 2:40 comment added Hugo Chapdelaine If $Y$ is a variety over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$ then by definition it is of finite type over $Spec(K)$. So any such variety may be viewed a scheme over $Spec(\mathbb{Q}[t_1,\ldots,t_n])$ where the $t_i$'s are the various coefficients which appear in a choice of a set of defining equations of $Y$.
Dec 31, 2010 at 2:36 comment added Hugo Chapdelaine By a model of a variety $X$ over a field $K$ I simply mean that $X$ may be defined as the zero locus of a bunch of polynomials with coefficients in $K$.
Dec 30, 2010 at 22:25 comment added Qfwfq Also, what do you mean by "spreading out $X_0$" ?
Dec 30, 2010 at 22:22 comment added Qfwfq Maybe my commnet is too naif and maybe I didn't get the point, but: isn't Lefschez principle sufficient to say that any complex variety has a "model" over any algebraically closed field of characteristic zero? What's the definition of "having a model over the algebraic numbers"?
