Generalized connectedness and Bertini-type theorems over real closed fields

Algebraic Geometry 2025-11-06 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a real closed analogue of Bertini's theorem. Let RR be a real closed field and XX a formally real integral algebraic variety over RR. We show that if the zero locus of a nonzero global section ss of an invertible sheaf on XX has a formally real generic point, then ss does not change sign on XX, and vice versa under certain conditions. As a consequence, we demonstrate that there exists a nonempty open subset of hypersurface sections preserving formal reality and integrality for quasi-projective varieties of dimension 2\geq 2 under these conditions.
