Terminology for the image of the diagonal embedding.

Let $X$ be a topological space equipped with maps into two spaces $\bar X_1$ and $\bar X_2$. Is there a standard notation/terminology for the closure $\bar X$ in $\bar X_1 \times \bar X_2$ of the dia …

Algebraic curve cannot suddenly end

Following the idea of Felipe Voloch, I try to give a simple proof based on Puiseux series expansion. Let $C$ be a real algebraic curve at the origin. Look at the Puiseux series expansion (say in terms …

Is a toric variety over a field of positive characteristic complete if and only if the suppo...

When $k(f(x), g(x)) = k(x)$? In other words, when is a given polynomial parametrization of a...

If $f, g \in k[x]$, where $k$ is a field, then $k(f, g) = k(h)$ for some rational function $h \in k(x)$ (this is a special case of Lüroth's theorem). Question 1: Under what conditions does the above h …
