Fields of CR meromorphic functions

Publication date 28 September 2006

Abstract: Let

M

be a smooth compact

C R

manifold of

C R

dimension

n

and

C R

codimension

k

, which has a certain local extension property

E

. In particular, if

M

is pseudoconcave, it has property

E

. Then the field

C a l K (M)

of

C R

meromorphic functions on

M

has transcendence degree

d

, with

d l e q n + k

. If

f_{1}, f_{2}, h d o t s, f_{d}

is a maximal set of algebraically independent

C R

meromorphic functions on

M

, then

C a l K (M)

is a simple finite algebraic extension of the field

B b b C (f_{1}, f_{2}, h d o t s, f_{d})

of rational functions of the

f_{1}, f_{2}, h d o t s, f_{d}

. When

M

has a projective embedding, there is an analogue of Chow's theorem, and

C a l K (M)

is isomorphic to the field

C a l R (Y)

of rational functions on an irreducible projective algebraic variety

Y

, and

M

has a

C R

embedding in

o m a n r e g Y

. The equivalence between algebraic dependence and analytic dependence fails when condition

E

is dropped.
