In this work we characterize the subsets of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that are images of Nash maps $f:{\mathbb R}^m\to{\mathbb R}^n$. We prove Shiota's conjecture and show that a subset ${\mathcal S}\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ is the image of a Nash map…

Let $T\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ be a semialgebraic set and let $\mu\ge0$ be a non-negative integer. We say that $T$ is a {\em Nash $\mu$-approximation target space} (or a $({\mathcal N},\mu)$-${\tt ats}$ for short) if it has the following…

This paper deals with the existence of algebraic structures on compact Nash sets. We introduce the algebraic-topological notion of asymmetric Nash cobordism between compact Nash sets, and we prove that a compact Nash set is…

A celebrated theorem in Real Algebraic and Analytic Geometry (originally due to Bruhat-Cartan and Wallace and stated later in its current form by Milnor) is the (Nash) curve selection lemma. It states that each point in the closure of a…

In this work we approach the problem of approximating uniformly continuous semialgebraic maps $f:S\to T$ from a compact semialgebraic set $S$ to an arbitrary semialgebraic set $T$ by semialgebraic maps $g:S\to T$ that are differentiable of…

We prove that a semialgebraically connected affine Nash group over a real closed field R is Nash isogenous to the semialgebraically connected component of the group H(R) of R-points of some algebraic group H defined over R. In the case when…

This paper is devoted to the approximation of differentiable semialgebraic functions by Nash functions. Approximation by Nash functions is known for semialgebraic functions defined on an affine Nash manifold M, and here we extend it to…

Let (S,0) be a germ of complex analytic normal surface. On its minimal resolution, we consider the reduced exceptional divisor E and its irreducible components E_i. The Nash map associates to each irreducible component C_k of the space of…

The h-cobordism theorem is a noted theorem in differential and PL topology. A generalization of the h-cobordism theorem for possibly non simply connected manifolds is the so called s-cobordism theorem. In this paper, we prove semialgebraic…

Given a semianalytic set S in a complex space and a point p in S, there is a unique smallest complex-analytic germ at p which contains the germ of S, called the holomorphic closure of S at p. We show that if S is semialgebraic then its…

Two subanalytic subsets of R^n are called s-equivalent at a common point P if the Hausdorff distance between their intersections with the sphere centered at P of radius r vanishes of order greater than s when r tends to 0. In this paper we…

A semialgebraic map $f:X\to Y$ between two real algebraic sets is called blow-Nash if it can be made Nash (i.e. semialgebraic and real analytic) by composing with finitely many blowings-up with non-singular centers. We prove that if a…

Semi-algebraic set is a subset of the real space defined by polynomial equations and inequalities. In this paper, we consider the problem of deciding whether two given points in a semi-algebraic set are connected. We restrict to the case…

This paper seeks to prove the bijectivity of the "Nash mapping" from the set of irreducible components of the scheme parametrizing analytic arcs on an algebraic surface $X$ whose origin is a singular point, into the set of irreducible…

Consider the semialgebraic structure over the real field. More generally, let an ominimal structure be over a real closed field. We show that a definable metric space X with a definable metric d is embedded into a Euclidean space so that…

Given a compact semialgebraic set S of R^n and a polynomial map f from R^n to R^m, we consider the problem of approximating the image set F = f(S) in R^m. This includes in particular the projection of S on R^m for n greater than m. Assuming…

A semi-algebraic set is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by a finite collection of polynomial equations and inequalities. In this paper, we investigate the problem of determining whether two points in such a set belong to the same…

Using the structure of the jet schemes of rational double point singularities, we construct "minimal embedded toric resolutions" of these singularities. We also establish, for these singularities, a correspondence between a natural class of…
