Abstract
It was discovered that there is a formal analogy between Nevanlinna theory and Diophantine approximation.
Via Vojta’s dictionary, the Second Main Theorem in Nevanlinna theory corresponds to Schmidt’s Subspace Theorem in Diophantine approximation. Recently, Cherry, Dethloff, and Tan (arXiv:1503.08801v2 [math.CV]) obtained a Second Main Theorem for moving hypersurfaces intersecting projective varieites.
In this paper, we shall give the counterpart of their Second Main Theorem in Diophantine approximation.
Let k be an algebraic number field of degree d. Denote M(k) by the set of places (i.e., equivalent classes of absolute values) of k and write
M∞(k) for the set of Archimedean places. From v∈M(k), we choose the normalized absolute value ∣.∣v such that
∣.∣v=∣.∣ on Q (the standard absolute value) if v is archimedean, whereas for v non-archimedean ∣p∣v=p−1
if v lies above the rational prime p. Denote by kv the completion of k with respect to v and by dv=[kv:Qv] the local
degree. We put ∥.∥v=∣.∣vdv/d. Then norm ∣∣.∣∣v satisfies the following properties:
(i)∣∣x∣∣v≥0, with equality if and only if x=0;
(ii)∣∣xy∣∣v=∣∣x∣∣v∣∣y∣∣v for all x,y∈k;
(iii)∣∣x1+⋯+xn∣∣v≤Bvnv⋅max{∣∣x1∣∣v,…,∣∣xn∣∣v} for all x1,…,xn∈k, n∈N, where nv=dv/d, Bv=1 if v is non-archimedean and Bv=n if v is archimedean.
Moreover, for each x∈k∖{0}, we have the following product formula:
[TABLE]
For v∈M(k), we also extend ∥.∥v to an absolute value on the algebraic closure kv.
For x∈k, the logarithmic height of x is defined by h(x)=∑v∈M(k)log+∥x∥v, where log+∥x∥v=logmax{∥x∥v,1}.
For x=[x0:⋯:xM]∈Pn(k), we set ∥x∥v=max0≤i≤M∥xi∥v, and define the logarithmic height of x by
[TABLE]
For a positive integer d, we set
[TABLE]
Let Q be a homogeneous polynomial of degree d in k[x0,…,xM].
We write
[TABLE]
Set ∥Q∥v:=maxI∥aI∥v. The height of Q is defined by
[TABLE]
For each v∈M(k), the Weil function λQ,v is defined by
[TABLE]
Let Λ be an infinite index set. We call a moving hypersurface Q in PM(k) of degree d, indexed by Λ each collection of polynomials {Q(α)}α∈Λ in k[x0,…,xM]. Then, we can write Q=∑I∈TdaIxI, where aI’s are functions from Λ into k having no common zeros points.
Through this paper, we consider an infinite index Λ; a set Q:={Q1,…,Qq} of moving hypersurfaces in PM(k), indexed by Λ; an arbitrary projective variety V⊂PM(k) of dimension n generated by the homogeneous ideal I(V). We write
[TABLE]
Let A⊂Λ be an infinite subset and denote by (A,a) each set-theoretic map a:A→k.
Denote by RA0 the set of equivalence classes of pairs (C,a), where C⊂A is a subset with finite complement and a:C→k is a map; and the equivalence relation is defined as follows: (C1,a1)∼(C2,a2)
if there exists C⊂C1∩C2 such that C has finite complement in A and a1∣C=a2∣C. Then RA0 has an obvious ring structure. Moreover, we can embed k into RA0 as constant functions.
Definition 1.1**.**
*For each j∈{1,…,q}, we write Tdj={Ij,1,…,Ij,Mdj}, where Mdj:=(Mdj+M). A subset A⊂Λ is said to be coherent with respect to
Q if for every polynomial
P∈k[x1,1,…,x1,Md1,…,xq,1,…,xq,Mdq]
that is homogeneous in xj,1,…,xj,Mdj for each j=1,…,q, either
P(a1,I1,1(α),…,a1,I1,Md1(α),…,aq,Iq,1(α),…,aq,Iq,Mdq(α))
vanishes for all α∈A or it vanishes for only finitely many α∈A.*
By [14], Lemma 2.1 there exists an infinite coherent subset A⊂Λ with respect to Q. For each j∈{1,…,q}, we fix an index Ij∈Tdj such that aj,Ij≡0 (this means that
aj,Ij(α)=0 for all, but finitely many, α∈A), then aj,Ijaj,I defines an element of RA0 for any
I∈Tdj. This element given by the following function:
[TABLE]
Moreover, by coherent, the subring of RA0 generated over k by such all elements is an integral domain (p.3, [10]). We define RA,Q to be the field of fractions of that integral domain.
Denote by A the set of all functions {α∈A:aj,Ij(α)=0}→k,α↦aj,Ij(α)aj,I(α) and kQ the set of all formal finite sum
∑m=1stm∏i=1scini, where tm∈k,ci∈A,ni∈N.
Each pair (b,c)∈kQ2, (c^(α)=0 for all, but finitely many, α∈A) defines a set-theoretic function, denoted by c^b^, from {α:c(α)=0} to k, cb(α):=c(α)b(α). Denote by RA,Q the set of all such functions. Each element a∈RA,Q is a class of some functions a in RA,Q. We call that a is a special representative of a. It is clear that for any two special representatives a1,a2 of the same element a∈RA,Q, we have a1(α)=a2(α) for all, but finitely many α∈A. For a polynomial P:=∑IaIxI∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM], assume that aI is a special representative of aI. Then P:=∑Ia^IxI is called a special representative of P. For each α∈A such that all functions aI’s are well defined at α, we set P(α):=∑Ia^I(α)xI∈k[x0,…,xM]; and we also say that the special representative P is well defined at α. Note that each special representative P of P is well defined at all, but finitely many, α∈A. If P1,P2 are two special presentatives of P, then P1(α)=P2(α) for all, but finitely many A.
Definition 1.2**.**
A sequence of points x=[x0:⋯:xM]:Λ→V is said to be V−algebraically non-degenerate with respect to Q if for each infinite coherent subset A⊂Λ with respect to Q, there is no homogeneous polynomial P∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]∖IA,Q(V) such that
P(α)(x0(α),…,xM(α))=0 for all, but finitely many, α∈A for some (then for all) representative P of P, where IA,Q(V) is the ideal in RA,Q[x0,…,xM] genarated by I(V).
Definition 1.3**.**
We say that the family moving hypersurfaces Q is V−admissible if for each 1≤j0<⋯<jn≤q, the system of equations
[TABLE]
has no solution (x0,…,xM) satisfying (x0:⋯:xM)∈V(k), for all, but finitely many α∈Λ, where k is the algebraic closure of k.
In 1997, Ru-Vojta [14] established the following Schmidt subspace theorem for the case of moving hyperplanes in projective spaces.
Theorem A.Let k be a number field and let S⊂M(k) be a finite set containing all archimedean places. Let Λ be an infinite index set and let H:={H1,…,Hq} be a set of moving hyperplanes in PM(k), indexed by Λ. Let x=[x0:⋯:xM]:Λ→PM(k) be a sequence of points. Assume that
(i)* x is linearly nondegenerate with respect to H, which mean, for each infinite coherent subset A⊂Λ with respect to H,x0∣A,…,xM∣A are linearly independent over RA,H,*
(ii)* h(Hj(α))=o(h(x(α))) for all α∈Λ and j=1,…,q (i.e. for all δ>0, h(Hj(α))⩽δh(x(α)) for all, but finitely many, α∈Λ).*
Then, for any ε>0, there exists an infinite index subset A⊂Λ such that
[TABLE]
*holds for all α∈A. Here the maximum is taken over all subsets K of {1,…,q}, #K=M+1 such that Hj(α),j∈K are linearly independent over k for each *α∈Λ.
One of the most important developments in recent years in Diophantine approximation is Schmidt’s subspace theorems for fixed hypersurfaces of Corvaja-Zannier [4] and Evertse-Ferretti [6, 7]. Motived by their paper, Min Ru [12, 13] obtained important results on the Second Main Theorem for fixed hypersurfaces. Later, Dethloff-Tan [5] and Cherry-Dethloff-Tan [3] generalized these Second Main Theorems of Min Ru to the case of moving results. Basing on method of Dethloff-Tan [5], Chen-Ru-Yan [2] and Le [9] extended Theorem A to the case of moving hypersurfaces in the projective spaces. In this paper, following the method of Cherry-Dethloff- Tan [3], we give the following counterpart of their Second Main Theorem in Diophantine approximation.
Theorem 1.4**.**
Let k be a number field and let S⊂M(k) be a finite set containing all archimedean places. Let x=[x0:⋯:xM]:Λ→V be a sequence
of points. Assume that
(i)* Q is V−admissible, and x is V− algebraically nondegenerate with respect to Q;*
(ii)* h(Qj(α))=o(h(x(α))) for all α∈Λ and j=1,…,q (i.e. for all δ>0, h(Qj(α))⩽δh(x(α)) for all, but finitely many, α∈Λ).*
Then, for any ε>0, there exists an infinite index subset A⊂Λ such that
[TABLE]
holds for all α∈A.
Remark 1.5**.**
(i) By replacing Qj by Qjdjd, where d=lcm{d1,…,dq}, in Theorem 1.4, we may assume that Q1,…,Qq have the same degree d.
(ii) By replacing Qj=∑I∈Tdaj,IxI by Qj′=I∈Td∑ajIjajIxI, in Theorem 1.4, we may assume that Qj∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM].

2 Some Lemmas
We write
[TABLE]
Let A⊂Λ be an infinity coherent subset with respect to Q. For each j∈{1,…,q}, we fix an index Ij∈Td such that aj,Ij≡0 (this means that
aj,Ij(α)=0 for all but finitely many α∈A), then ajIjajI defines an element of RA0 for any
I∈Td.
Set
[TABLE]
Let t=(…,tjI,…) be a family of variables.
Set
[TABLE]
We have
Qj(…,ajIjajI(α),…,x0,…,xM)=Qj′(α)(x0,…,xM) for all α∈A outside a finite subset.
Assume that the ideal I(V) of V is generated by homogeneous polynomials P1,…,Pm. Since Q is V−admissible, for each J:={j0,…,jn}⊂{1,…,q} there is a subset AJ⊂A with finite complement such that for all α∈AJ
the homogeneous polynomials
P1,…,Pm,Qj0′(α),…,Qjn′(α)∈k[x0,…,xM]
have no common non-trivial solutions in kM+1.
Denote by k[t](P1,…,Pm,Qj0,…,Qjn)
the ideal in the ring of polynomials in x0,…,xM with coefficients in k[t] generated by
P1,…,Pm,Qj0,…,Qjn.
A polynomial R in k[t] is called an
inertia form of the polynomials P1,…,Pm,Qj0,…,Qjn if it has the following property:
[TABLE]
for i=0,…,M and for some non-negative integer s (see e.g. [16]).
It follows from the definition that the set I of inertia forms of polynomials P1,…,Pm,Qj0,…,Qjn is an ideal in k[t].
It is well known that (m+n+1) homogeneous polynomials Pi(x0,…,xM),Qj(…,tjI,…,x0,…,xM),i∈{1,…,m},j∈J
have no
common non-trivial solutions in x0,…,xM
for special values tjI0 of tjI
if and only if there exists an inertia form RJtjI0 such that
RJtjI0(…,tjI0,…)=0 (see e.g. [16], page 254).
For each α∈AJ, choose RJα∈I with respect to the special values tjIα:=ajIjajI(α).
Set RJα:=RJα(…,ajIjajI,…). Then RJα is a special presentative of an element RA,Q.
By construction, we have
[TABLE]
Since k[t] is Noetherian, I is generated by finite polynomials RJ1,…,RJs. For each α, we write
RJα=∑ℓ=1sGℓαRJℓ,Gℓα∈k[t]. We have that Gℓα:=Gℓα(…,ajIjajI,…), and RJℓ:=RJℓ(…,ajIjajI,…) are special representatives of elements in RA,Q. It is clear that RJα=∑ℓ=1sGℓαRJℓ.
Hence, by (2.1), we have
[TABLE]
for all, but finitely many α∈A.
Therefore, there is ℓ0∈{1,…,s} such that
[TABLE]
Furthermore, by the definition of the inertia forms, there are a non-negative integer s, polynomials
biℓ∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM] with degbijk=s−d and degbiℓ=s−degPℓ such that
[TABLE]
for all 0≤i≤M.
Let x:Λ→V⊂PM(k) be a map. A map (C,a)∈RA0 is called small with respect to x if and only if
[TABLE]
which mean that, for every ε>0, there exists a subset Cε⊂C with finite complement such that h(a(α))≤εh(x(α)) for all α∈Cε. We denote by Kx the set of all such small maps. Then, Kx is subring of RA0. It is not an entire ring, however, if (C,a)∈Kx and a(α)=0 for all but finitely α∈C, then we have (C∖{α:a(α)=0},a1)∈Kx.
Denote by Cx the set of all positive functions g defined over Λ outside a finite subset of Λ such that
[TABLE]
Then Cx is a ring. Moreover, if (C,a)∈Kx, then for every v∈M(k), the function ∣∣a∣∣v:C→R+ given by α↦∣∣a(α)∣∣v belongs to Cx. Furthermore, if (C,a)∈Kx and a(α)=0 for all but finitely α∈C, the function g:{α∣a(α)=0}↦∣∣a(α)∣∣v1 also belongs to Cx.
From (2.2) and (2.3), similarly to Lemma 2.2 in [9], under the assumption of Theorem 1.4 and Remark 1.5, we have the following result.
Lemma 2.1**.**
Let A⊂Λ be coherent with respect to Q. Then for each J⊂{1,…,q}, there are functions l1,v,l2,v∈Cx such that
[TABLE]
for all α∈A ouside finite subset and all v∈S.
For each positive integer ℓ and for each vector sub-space W in k[x0,…,xM] (or in RA,Q[x0,…,xM]), we denote by Wℓ the vector space consisting of all holomogeneous polynomials in W of degree ℓ (and of the zero polynomial).
By the usual theory of Hilbert polynomials, for N>>0, we have
[TABLE]
Definition 2.2**.**
Let W be a vector sub-space in RA,Q[x0,…,xM]. For each α∈A, we denote
[TABLE]
It is clear that W(α) is a vector sub-space of k[x0,…,xM].
Lemma 2.3**.**
Let W be a vector sub-space in RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N. Then two following assertions hold:
(i)* There are γj∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N, j=1,…,H such that γj(α),…,γH(α) form a basis of W(α), for all, but finitely many, α∈A (i.e.
for any representative γj of
γj, then γj(α),…,γH(α) form a basis of W(α), for all, but finitely many, α∈A). In particular, dimension of W(α) does not depend on α∈A outside a finite subset.*
(ii)* Let {hj}j=1K be a basis of W. Then {hj(α)}j=1K forms a basis of W(α)
(hence, dimRA,QW=dimkW(α)) for all, but finitely many, α∈A (i.e. for any special representative hj of hj, then {hj(α)}j=1K forms a basis of W(α)
for all, but finitely many, α∈A).*
Proof.
Set H:=maxα∈AdimW(α). Taking α0∈A such that dimW(α0)=H. Then, there are γj∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N(j=1,…,H) and there are special representatives γj of γj(j=1,…,H) such that {γ1(α0),…,γH(α0)} form a basis of W(α0).
Denote by B the matrix of coefficients of {γj}j=1H. Then, B(α0) has rank H. Hence, there is a square sub-matrix B1 of B with order H such that detB1(α0)=0. By coherent of A, there is a complement A1 of a finite subset in A, such that
detB(α)=0 and all coefficients of γj’s are well defined at α, for all α∈A1, Then, {γ1(α),…,γH(α)} are linearly independent, for all α∈A1. On the other hand dimW(α)⩽H. Hence, {γ1(α),…,γH(α)} is a basis of W(α) for all α∈A1. On the other hand, for any special representative γj′ of γj, then γj′(α)=γj(α) for all, but finitely many, α∈A. Hence, γ1′(α),…,γH′(α) also form a basis of W(α) for all, but finitely many, α∈A. This completes the proof of assertion (i).
Let (cij) be the matrix of coefficients of {hj}j=1K. Since
{hj}j=1K are linearly independent, there exists a square submatrix C of (cij) with order K and detC≡0. Let cij be an special representative of cij. Denote by C the matrix which is defined from C by replacing cij by cij. Then detC is a special representative of detC, and hence detC≡0. By coherent of A, detC^(α)=0 and all coefficients of hj′s are well defined at α, for all, but finitely many, α∈A. By assertion (i), there are γj∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N, j=1,…,H such that γ1(α),…,γH(α) form a basis of W(α) for all, but finitely many, α∈A, where γj is a special representative of γj. We write γs=∑j=1Ktsjhj with tsj∈RA,Q. Let tsj be a special representative of tsj(s∈{1,…,H},j∈{1,…,K}). Then ∑j=1Ktsjhj is a special representative of γs. Hence, γs(α)=∑j=1Ktsj(α)hj(α)(s=1,…,H) for all, but finitely many, α∈A. Combining with (i), we have that {hj(α)}j=1K is a generating system of W(α) for all, but finitely many, α∈A. On the other hand, since detC(α)=0 and all coefficients of hij′s are well defined at α, for all, but finitely many, α∈A. Hence, h1(α),…,hK(α) are linearly independent for all, but finitely many, α∈A. By these facts, {h1(α),…,hK(α)} is a basis of W(α), for all, but finitely many, α∈A.
∎
Denote by IA,Q(V) the ideal in RA,Q[x0,…,xM] generated by the elements in I(V). It is clear that IA,Q(V)
is also the sub-vector space of RA,Q[x0,…,xM] generated by I(V).
We use the lexicographic order in N0n and for I=(i1,…,in), set ∥I∥:=i1+⋯+in.
Definition 2.4**.**
For each
I=(i1,⋯,in)∈N0n and N∈N0 with N≥d∥I∥, denote by LNI
the set of all γ∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥ such that
[TABLE]
for some γE∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥E∥.
Denote by LI the homogeneous ideal in RA,Q[x0,…,xM] generated by ∪N≥d∥I∥LNI.
Remark 2.5**.**
i) LNI is a RA,Q-vector sub-space of RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥, and
(I(V),Q1,…,Qn)N−d∥I∥⊂LNI, where (I(V),Q1,…,Qn) is
the ideal in RA,Q[x0,…,xM] generated by
I(V)∪{Q1,…,Qn}.
ii) For any γ∈LNI and P∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]k, we have γ⋅P∈LN+kI
iii) LI∩RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥=LNI.
iv) LIRA,Q[x0,…,xM]
is a graded modul over the graded ring RA,Q[x0,…,xM].
Lemma 2.6**.**
#{LI:I∈N0n}<∞.**
Proof.
Suppose that #{LI:I∈N0n}=∞. Then there exists an infinite sequence {LIk}k=1∞ consisting of pairwise different ideals. We write
Ik=(ik1,…,ikn). Since ikℓ∈N0, there exists an infinite sequence of positve integers p1<p2<p3<⋯ such that
ip1ℓ⩽ip2ℓ⩽ip3ℓ⩽⋯, for all ℓ=1,…,n : In fact, firstly we choose a sub-sequence iq11⩽iq21⩽iq31⩽⋯ of {ik1}k=1∞. Next, we choose a sub-sequence of ir12⩽ir22⩽ir32⩽⋯ of {iqk2}k=1∞. Continuing the above process until obtaining a sub-sequence ip1n⩽ip2n⩽ip3n⩽⋯.
We now prove that:
[TABLE]
Indeed, for any γ∈LNIpk (for any N and k satisfying N−∥Ipk∥≥0), we have
[TABLE]
for some γE∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥E∥.
Then, since ipk+11−ipk1,…,ipk+1n−ipkn are non-negative integers, we have
[TABLE]
On the other hand since E=(e1,…,en)>Ipk we have (e1+ipk+11−ipk1,…,en+ipk+1n−ipkn)>Ipk+1. Therefore, γ∈LN−d∥Ipk∥+d∥Ipk+1∥Ipk+1.
Hence, LNIpk⊂LN−d∥Ipk∥+d∥Ipk+1∥Ipk+1 for all k,N. Therefore, LIpk⊂LIpk+1 for all k. We get (2.4).
Since RA,Q[x0,…,xM] is a noetherian ring, the chain of ideals in (2.4) becomes finally stationary. This is a contradiction.
∎
Set
[TABLE]
For each positive integer N, denote by τN the set of all I:=(i0,…,in)∈N0n with N−d∥I∥≥0.
Let γI1,…,γImNI∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥ such that they form a basis of the RA,Q− vector space LNIRA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥.
Continueting the above process, we get that tIℓ=0 for all I∈τN and ℓ∈{1,…,mNI}, and hence, we get (2.5).
Denote by L the vector sub-space in RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N generated by
[TABLE]
Now we prove that: For any I=(i1,…,in)∈τN, we have
[TABLE]
for all γI∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥.
Set I′=(i1′,…,in′):=max{I:I∈τN}.
Since, γI′1,…,γI′mNI′
form a basis of LNI′RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥, for any γI′∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N−d∥I′∥, we have
[TABLE]
On the other hand, by the defintion of LNI′ , we have
Q1i1′⋯Qnin′⋅hI′ℓ∈IA,Q(V)N
(note that I′=max{I:I∈τN}).
Hence,
There are integers n0, c and c′ such that the following assertions hold.
i) dimRA,Q[x0,…,xM](I(V),Q1,…,Qn)N−d∥I∥RA,Q[x0,…,xM][x0,…,xM]N−d∥I∥=c
for all I∈N0n,N∈N0 satisfying N−d∥I∥≥n0.
ii) For each I∈N0n there is an integer mI such that mI=mNI for all N∈N0 satisfying N−d∥I∥≥n0.
iii) mNI⩽c′, for all I∈N0n and N∈N0 satisfying N−d⋅∥I∥≥0.
Proof.
Denote by (I(V),Q1,…,Qn) the ideal in RA,Q[x0,…,xM] generated by I(V)∪{Q1,…,Qn}.
For each α in A such that all coefficients of Qi’s are well defined at α, we denote by
(I(V),Q1(α),…,Qn(α))
the ideal in k[x0,…,xM] generated by I(V)∪{Q1(α),…,Qn(α)}.
We have
[TABLE]
Indeed, for any P∈(I(V),Q1(α),…,Qn(α)), we write P=G+Q1(α)⋅P1+⋯+Qn(α)⋅Pn, where G∈I(V),
and Pi∈k[x0,…,xM]. Take P′∈(I(V),Q1,…,Qn) which is defined by a presentation P′:=G+Q1⋅P1+⋯+Qn⋅Pn. It is clear that P′(α)=P.
Hence, we get (2.11).
Let I be an arbitrary element in τN. Let {hk:=∑i=1nQi⋅Rik+∑j=1mkgjk⋅γjk}k=1K
be a basis of (I(V),Q1,…,Qn)N−d⋅∥I∥, where gjk∈I(V), and
Rik,γjk,∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM] satisfying deg(Qi⋅Rik)=deg(γjk⋅gjk)=N−d⋅∥I∥. Let
Rik, and γjk be some special representatives of Rik, and γjk, respectively. Then
hk:=∑i=1nQi⋅Rik+∑j=1mkgjk⋅γjk is a representative of hk.
By Lemma 2.3, and since Q is a V− admissible set, there exists α∈A such that:
i) {hk(α)}k=1K is a basis of (I(V),Q1,…,Qn)N−d⋅∥I∥(α),
ii) all coefficients of
Qj,R^jk,γjk,gjk are well defined at α, and
iii) homogeneous polynomials Q0(α),…,Qn(α)∈k[x0,…,xM] have no common zeros point in V(k).
On the other hand, it is clear that h^k(α)∈(I(V),Q1(α),…,Qn(α)), for all k=1,…,K.
Hence, by (2.11), and by i), we have
[TABLE]
Then, we have
[TABLE]
This implies that
[TABLE]
On the other hand, by the Hilbert-Serre Theorem ([8], Theorem 7.5), there exist positive integers n1,c such that
Let hI and h be the Hilbert functions of LIRA,Q[x0,…,xM] and (I(V),Q1,…,Qn)RA,Q[x0,…,xM], respectively. Since (I(V),Q1,…,Qn)⊂LI, we have hI⩽h. On the other hand, by Matsumura [11], Theorem 14, hI(k) is a polynomial in k for all k>>0 and by (2.12), we have h(k)=c for all k≥n1. Hence, there are constants mI, n2 such that hI(k)=mI for all k≥n2 and then mNI=hI(N−d∥I∥)=mI for all N∈N0 satisfying N−d∥I∥≥n2. By Lemma 2.6, we may choose n2 common for all I.
Taking n0:=max{n1,n2}, we get Lemma 2.8, i) and ii).
We have mNI=hI(N−d∥I∥)⩽h(N−d∥I∥)⩽max{c,h(k):k=0,…,n0}. Hence, taking c′:=max{c,h(k):k=0,…,n0}, we get
Lemma 2.8, iii).
∎
Set
[TABLE]
We fix I0=(i01,…,i0n)∈N0n, and N0∈N0 such that N0−d∥I0∥≥n0 and mN0I0=m.
For each positive integer N, divisible by d, denote by τN0 the set of all I=(i1,…,in)∈τN such that N−d∥I∥≥n0 and ik≥max{i01,…,i0n}, for all k∈{1,…,n}.
On the other hand since (N0+d∥I∥−d∥I0∥)−d∥I∥=N0−d∥I0∥≥n0, and N−∥I∥≥n0 (note that I∈τN0), by Lemma 2.8, we have
[TABLE]
Hence, by (2), m≥mI=mNI. Then, by the minimum property of m, we get that
[TABLE]
We now prove that:
[TABLE]
Indeed, let {P1,…,Ps} be a basis of the k vector space I(V)N.
It is clear that IRA,Q(V)N is a vector space over RA,Q generated by I(V)N, therefore {P1,…,Ps} is
also a generating system of IA,Q(V)N. Then, for (2.18), it suffices to prove that
if t1,…,ts∈RA,Q satisfy
[TABLE]
then t1=⋯=ts≡0.
We rewrite (2.19) in the following form
[TABLE]
where C∈Mat((NM+N)×s,RA,Q).
If the above system of linear equations has non-trivial solutions, then rankRA,QC<s. Then
rankkC(z)<s for all, but finitely many z∈A. Taking a∈A such that
rankkC(a)<s. Then the following system of linear equations
[TABLE]
has some non-trivial solution (t1,…,ts)=(α1,…,αs)∈ks∖{0}.
Then α1⋅P1+⋯+αs⋅Ps≡0, this is
a contradiction. Hence, we get (2.18).
For each s∈{1,…,n}, and for N>>0, divisible by d, we have:
[TABLE]
Proof.
Firstly, we note that if I=(i1,…,in)∈τN0, then all symmetry I′=(iσ(1),…,iσ(n)) of I also belongs to τN0. On the other hand, by
Lemma 2.9, we have mNI=degV⋅dn, for all I∈τN0. Therefore, by (2) we have
Therefore, from Lemmas 2.7, 2.10 we get immediately the following result.
Lemma 2.11**.**
For all N>>0 divisible d, there are homogeneous polynomials ϕ1,…,ϕHV(N) in RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N such that they form a basis
of the RA,Q− vector space
IA,Q(V)NRA,Q[x0,…,xM]N, and
[TABLE]
where u(N) is a function satisfying u(N)⩽O(Nn), P∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM] is a homogeneous polynomials of degree
[TABLE]
3 Proof of our main theorem
Proof.
By Lemma 2.1 in [2], there exists an infinite index subset A⊂Λ which is coherent with respect to Q. By Remark 1.5, we may assume that the polynomials Qj’s have the same degree d≥1 and their coefficients belong to the field RA,Q. By the fact that for any infinite subset B of A, then B is also coherent with respect to Q and RB,Q⊂RA,Q, in our proof, we may freely pass to infinite subsets. For simplicity, we still denote these infinite subsets by A.
From the assumption, for each a∈RA,Q, and v∈M(k), we have, for all α∈A,
[TABLE]
For each v∈S, and α∈A, there exist a subset J(v,α)={j1(v,α),…,jn(v,α)}⊂{1,…,q} such that
where h∼v=∏(1+hμ), hμ runs over all the choices of l2,v, thus h∼v∈Cx.
By Lemma 2.11, there exist homogeneous polynomials ϕ1J(v,α),…,ϕHV(N)J(v,α)(depend on J(v,α)) in RA,Q[x0,…,xM]N and there are functions u(N),v(N) (common for all J(v,α)) such that {ϕiJ(v,α)} a basic of RA,Q− vector space IA,Q(V)NRA,Q[x0,…,xM]N and
[TABLE]
where PJ(v,α)∈RA,Q[x0,…,xM] is a homogeneous polynomials of degree
(n+1)!degV⋅Nn+1+v(N).
Thus, for all x(α)∈V(k), we have
[TABLE]
On the other hand, it is easy to that there exist hJ(v,α)∈Cx such that
[TABLE]
Therefore,
[TABLE]
This implies that there are functions ω1(N),ω2(N)⩽O(N1) such that
We fix homogeneous polynomials Φ1,…,ΦHN(V)∈RA,{Qj}j=1q[x0,…,xM]N such that they form a basic of RA,Q− vector space IA,Q(V)NRA,Q[x0,…,xM]N. Then, there exist homogeneous linear polynomials
[TABLE]
such that they are linear independent over RA,{Qj}j=1q and
[TABLE]
for all ℓ=1,…,HV(N). It is clear that h(LℓJ(v,α)(β))=o(h(x(β))),β∈A and A is coherent with respect to {Lℓ}ℓ=1HN(V).
We have,
[TABLE]
We write
[TABLE]
Since L1J(v,α),…,LHN(V)J(v,α) are linear independent over RA,Q, we have det(hℓs)=0∈RA,Q.
Thus, due to cohenrent property of A,det(hℓs)(β)=0 for all β∈A, outside a finite subset of A. By passing to an infinite subset if necessary, we may assume that L1J(v,α)(β),…,LHN(V)J(v,α)(β) are lineraly independent over k for all β∈A.
Now we consider the sequence of points
F(α)=[Φ1(x(α)),…,ΦHN(V)(x(α))] from A to PHV(N)−1(k) and
moving hyperplanes L:={L1J(v,α),…,LHN(V)J(v,α)} in PHV(N)−1(k), indexed by A. We claim that F is linearly nondegenerate with respect to L. Indeed, ortherwise, then there is a linear form L∈RB,L[y1,…,yHN(V)] for some infinite coherent subset B⊂A, such that L(F)∣B≡0 in B, which contradicts to the assumption that x is algebraically nondegenerate with respect to Q.
By Theorem A, for any ϵ>0, there is an infinite subset of A (common for all J(v,α)), denoted again by A, such that
Combining with (3.8), by our choice with ω1,ω2 for N large enough, we get
[TABLE]
for all α∈A.
This completes the proof of Theorem 1.4.
