Abstract

In this work we prove the real Nullstellensatz for the ring O(X){\mathcal O}(X) of analytic functions on a CC-analytic set XRnX\subset{\mathbb R}^n in terms of the saturation of \L ojasiewicz's radical in O(X){\mathcal O}(X): The ideal I(Z(a)){\mathcal I}({\mathcal Z}({\mathfrak a})) of the zero-set Z(a){\mathcal Z}({\mathfrak a}) of an ideal a{\mathfrak a} of O(X){\mathcal O}(X) coincides with the saturation a\L~\widetilde{\sqrt[\text{\L}]{{\mathfrak a}}} of \L ojasiewicz's radical a\L\sqrt[\text{\L}]{{\mathfrak a}}. If Z(a){\mathcal Z}({\mathfrak a}) has `good properties' concerning Hilbert's 17th Problem, then I(Z(a))=ar~{\mathcal I}({\mathcal Z}({\mathfrak a}))=\widetilde{\sqrt[\mathsf{r}]{{\mathfrak a}}} where ar\sqrt[\mathsf{r}]{{\mathfrak a}} stands for the real radical of a{\mathfrak a}. The same holds if we replace ar\sqrt[\mathsf{r}]{{\mathfrak a}} with the real-analytic radical ara\sqrt[\mathsf{ra}]{{\mathfrak a}} of a{\mathfrak a}, which is a natural generalisation of the real radical ideal in the CC-analytic setting. We revisit the classical results concerning (Hilbert's) Nullstellensatz in the framework of (complex) Stein spaces. Let a{\mathfrak a} be a saturated ideal of O(Rn){\mathcal O}({\mathbb R}^n) and YRnY_{{\mathbb R}^n} the germ of the support of the coherent sheaf that extends aORn{\mathfrak a}{\mathcal O}_{{\mathbb R}^n} to a suitable complex open neighbourhood of Rn{\mathbb R}^n. We study the relationship between a normal primary decomposition of a{\mathfrak a} and the decomposition of YRnY_{{\mathbb R}^n} as the union of its irreducible components. If a:=p{\mathfrak a}:={\mathfrak p} is prime, then I(Z(p))=p{\mathcal I}({\mathcal Z}({\mathfrak p}))={\mathfrak p} if and only if the (complex) dimension of YRnY_{{\mathbb R}^n} coincides with the (real) dimension of Z(p){\mathcal Z}({\mathfrak p}).
