Sep 12, 2011 at 15:09 comment added Albertas Thank you for the answer. Using that projections of constructible sets are constructible, I could prove that the converse is true.
Jul 15, 2011 at 21:26 comment added Andreas Blass $S$ is the image of the variety $\{(x,y,z,w):z=f(x,y), w=g(x,y)\}$ under projection to the last two components. Projections of constructible sets are constructible (Tarski-Chevalley theorem).
Jul 15, 2011 at 17:47 comment added Albertas Thank you; I have corrected the definition; I do not see why $S$ is constructible.

Jul 14, 2011 at 0:03 comment added Andreas Blass The assumption of algebraic independence tells you that $S$ doesn't lie on a curve. Being a constructible set, won't $S$ then have dimension 2 and contain a whole neighborhood of some point (and therefore product sets of any desired width up to the cardinal of the continuum)?
Jul 13, 2011 at 18:32 comment added Andreas Blass You defined $S$ as a certain pair of sets, but I guess you intended a set of pairs, $\{(f(x,y),g(x,y)):(x,y)\in\mathbb C^2\}$.
