A version of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz for real zeros

The argument from the link that OP included can be mimicked: reducing the problem to complex Nullstellensatz with a bit of analysis. Consider a non-singlular point $\mathbf{p}\in Z$ near which the ...

A version of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz for real zeros

I think, it does. By change of coordinates, you may suppose that $Z$ contains the origin and the tangent vector space is the hyperplane $\{x_n=0\}$. Then, by implicit function theorem, for small ...

Are the real numbers isomorphic to a nontrivial ultraproduct of fields?

The answer is no, because such ultrapowers are always $\aleph_1$-saturated, but $\mathbb{R}$ is not. More concretely, the ultraproduct will be an ordered field with uncountable cofinality — every ...

Converse of "generalized Hilbert 90" / Galois descent

Let $R$ be a finite dimensional $L$-algebra with an action of ${\rm Gal}(L/K)$ such that $\sigma (\lambda .r)=\sigma (\lambda )\sigma (r)$, $\lambda\in L$, $r\in R$, $\sigma\in {\rm Gal}(L/K)$. Then ...
