Abstract

The main aim of this talk is to provide an algebraic proof of thewell-known Borsuk-Ulam theorem by using projective algebraicsets. In fact, we prove a more general form of Borsuk-Ulamtheorem called the Borsuk-Ulam’s Nullstellensatz by establishingits equivalence with the real algebraic Nullstellensatz.

§ 1 Borsuk-Ulam Theorem

A well-known B o r s u k - U l a m t h e o r e m says that:

Theorem 1.1 ( B o r s u k - U l a m )

For every continuous map g : Sn→ Rn, n ∈ N, there existanti-podal points t, −t ∈ Sn with g(t) = g(−t).

Sn = {t = (t0, . . . , tn) ∈ Rn+1 | ||t||2 = ∑ni=0 t2

i = 1} ⊆ Rn+1 is then-sphere.

This was conjectured by S. Ulam and was proved by K. Borsuk in1933 by elementary methods but technically involved.

Corollary 2.3 ( B o r s u k - U l a m T h e o r e m )

For every continuous map g : Sn→ Rn , there exists t ∈ Sn suchthat g(t) = g(−t).

Proof Consider the off continuous map f : Sn→ Rn,t 7→ f (t) := g(t)−g(−t) and use (i) in Theorem 2.1.

The Real algebraic Nullstellensatz in Theorem 2.1-iii reminds usthe famous Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz :

Theorem 2.4 ( H i l b e r t ’ s N u l s t e l l e n s a t z )

Homogeneous polynomial polynomials f1, ..., fn ∈ K[T0, ...,Tn] ofarbitrary positive degrees over an algebraically closed field K,have a common non-trivial zero in Kn+1. (for example, overK = C.)

David Hilbert (1862 – 1943)

Hilbert proved Nullstellensatz (for K = C) in : Über die vollenInvariantenstyteme, Math. Ann. 42, 313-373 (1893).

Hilbert’s famous 23 Paris problems challenged (and still today challenge)mathematicians to solve fundamental questions. Hilbert’s famous speech TheProblems of Mathematics was delivered at the Second International Congressof Mathematicians in Paris in 1900. It was a speech full of optimism formathematics in the coming century and he felt that open problems were the signof vitality in the subject.

Intermediate Value theorem

The only property of the field R of real numbers used is :

Theorem 2.5

Every polynomial F ∈ R[X] of odd degree has a zero in R.

This is an immediate consequence of the Intermediate Value Theoremfor continuous functions R→ R :

Theorem 2.6 ( I n t e r m e d i a t e Va l u e T h e o r e m )

Let f : R→ R be a real-valued continuous function and a , b ∈ R ,a < b. For every c in between f (a) and f (b), there exists t0 ∈ [a , b ] withf (t0) = c.The intermediate value theorem characterizes the completeness property in anordered field : Suppose that every continuous function f : K→ K takes positiveas well as negative values, has a zero in K. Then K is a field of real numbers.Therefore K ∼= R.

Bernard Bolzano

The validity of Theorem 2.6 belongs to the foundations of real analysis and hasbeen considered at all times as an obvious fact though a first convincing proof ofit (for continuous functions) was given by B. Bolzano only in 1817.

Bernard Bolzano (1781 – 1848) Augustin Louis Cauchy (1789 – 1857)

Bolzano proved the intermediate value theorem in 1817 and he defined what isnow called a C a u c h y s e q u e n c e. The concept appears in Cauchy’s workfour years later but it is unlikely (?) that Cauchy had read Bolzano’s work.Bolzano gave examples of 1-1 correspondences between the elements of aninfinite set and the elements of a proper subset.

Characterization of 2-fields

Lemma 3.2

For a field K, the following statements are equivalent :

(i) K is a 2-field.

(ii) If π ∈ K[X] is a prime polynomial of degree > 1, then thedegree degπ is even.

(iii) If L |K is a non-trivial finite field extension of K, then thedegree = [L : K] = Dim K L is even.

The IVT (Theorem 2.6) directly implies the I V T f o r r e a lp o l y n o m i a l s:

Theorem 3.9 ( I V T — f o r r e a l p o l y n o m i a l s )If the values F(a) and F(b) of the real polynomial function F havedifferent signs at a , b ∈ R , a < b, then F has a zero in the interval[a , b ] .

Theorem 3.9 may be considered as the equivalent to the following :

Theorem 3.10 ( F TA — C o m p l e x v e r s i o n )Every non-constant complex polynomial function C→ C is surjective.

Theorem 3.10 is equivalent to the FTA, but, it is far from being obviousthat Theorem 3.9 implies the (real) FTA :

Theorem 3.11 ( F TA — R e a l v e r s i o n )Every non-constant real polynomial is divisible by a (monic) realpolynomial of degree 1 or 2.

p-Fields

Analogous to the concept of the 2-field, one can also define the conceptof the p - f i e l d for every prime number p as follows :

Definition 3.12A field K with the property : Every polynomial in F ∈ K[X] of degF notdivisible by p has a zero in K.

Remark 3.13With this definition Lemma 3.2 and Theorem 3.4 also hold if we replace“even” by “divisible by p” (and “odd” by “not divisible by p”).Moreover, one can also study “p-constructibility”.

However, there is no analog for p 6= 2 for the following Theorem :

Theorem 3.14If the algebraic closure K of a field K is finite over K, then K = K or[K : K] = 2, i. e. K is algebraically closed or real-closed.

The following general fundamental lemma was already in thework of Hilbert with a complicated proof :

Lemma 4.3

Let M be a finite graded module over the standardly gradedK-algebra A = K[t0, . . . , tn], t0, . . . , tn ∈ A1. Then

PM =R

(1−Z)n+1 with a Laurent-polynomial R ∈ Z[Z±1].

If M 6= 0, then after canceling the highest possible power of(1−Z), we get a unique representation :

PM =Q

Proof (Induction on d and r.) If d = 0, then r = 0. By Lemma 4.2 there exists ahomogeneous prime ideal p⊆ A with pd(A/p) = 0. By Lemma 5.2, necessarilye(A/p) = 1 and p definies — by Lemma 5.2 — a point in PA(K).For the inductive step from d to d+1, consider a prime ideal p⊆ A withd = pd(A/p). It is enought to prove that/0 6= V+(f 1, . . . , f r)⊆ PA/p(K)⊆ PA(K), where f 1, . . . , f r denote the residueclasses of f1, . . . , fr in A/p.

The following theorem is known as the Identity theorem forpolynomial functions.

Theorem 5.4 ( I d e n t i t y t h e o r e m )

Let K be an algebraically closed field and let A be domain. If ahomogeneous element f ∈ A vanish at all points of PA(K), thenf = 0.

Proof (Induction on d.) Let d > 0 and deg f > 0. By induction hypothesis istf ∈ p for all homogeneous prime ideal p 6= 0 in A. If f 6= 0, then there existhomogeneous prime ideal q 6= 0 with f 6∈ q. Further, M := A/Af has theprojective dimension d−1. If 0 = M0 ⊂M1 ⊂ ·· · ⊂Mr = M is a chain ofsubmodules with Mρ/Mρ−1 = (A/pρ )(−kρ ) as in Lemma 4.2, then f ∈ pρ andthe prime ideals p⊆ A with pd(A/p) := d−1 = pd(M) and f ∈ p belongs to thefinitely many prime ideal p1, . . . ,pr. It follows that there exists a g ∈ A1 which isnot in the union of these ideals (since p∩A1 ⊂ A1, if pd(A/p)≥ 0 ist). If q⊆ Ais a homogeneous prime ideal of the projective dimension d−1 with g ∈ q, thenf 6∈ q.

Theorem 6.2

Let K be a 2-field and let A be domain of odd multiplicity. If ahomogeneous element f ∈ A vanish at all points of PA(K), thenf = 0.

Proof As in the proof of Theorem 5.4, let d > 0 and deg f > 0. By theinduction hypothesis, f belongs to the intersection of all homogeneousprime ideals p 6= 0, with e(A/p) is odd. If f 6= 0, then there exists aprime ideal q with f 6∈ q and e(A/q) odd, since as in the proof of theTheorem 5.4 one can construct ideal q for a chosen g ∈ A1, g 6= 0 withe(A/Ag) = e(A).

We note the following Corollary to Theorem 6.2 for K = R.

The projective space PP(R) = Pn(R) is an n-dimensional real-analyticmanifold. A projective algebraic set PP/A(R)⊆ Pn(R) is a closedsubset.

Corollary 6.3If the standard graded R-Algebra A := R[T0, . . . ,Tn]/P is an integraldomain with d := pd(A)≥ 0 and odd multiplicity, then there exists annon-empty open subset in PA(R) = V+(P)⊆ Pn(R) which is ad-dimensional analytic submanifold in Pn(R).

Proof Consider the algebraic Kähler differential forms on theprojective variety corresponding to A. By 6.2 there exist smooth pointsin the variety PA(R)., i. e., this variety is a real analytic submanifold ofdimension d.For details, see R. HARTSHORNE, Algebraic Geometry, II,8,in particular, Corollary8.16. — However, the set of smooth points ofdimension d is, not in general, dense in PA(R).

We end with the following two Remarks :

Remark 6.4The Theorems 6.1 and 6.2 und their proofs have analogues for arbitrary p-fields,where p is prime, 2 is replaced by p, see Remark 3.13.

Remark 6.5Analogous Theorems also holds for Zr-standard graded K-algebras can beproved. The corresponding geometric objects are projective algebraic sets inproducts Pn1(K)×·· ·×Pnr (K) of projective spaces. For such a algebra, insteadof a multiplicity, there are r multiplicities. Also one can forgo the standardgradation and the algebra generating elements may have of degree > 1. Themultiplicities are not nessarily integers, but may be rational numbers.
