Polynomial mappings with small degree (Q2515987)

Let \(X^{n}\) be an affine variety of dimension \(n\) and \(Y^{n}\) be a quasi-projective variety of the same dimension \(n.\) The author proves that for a quasi-finite polynomial mapping \(f:X^{n}\rightarrow Y^{n}\) (it means each fiber \(f^{-1}(y),\) \(y\in Y,\) is finite) the complement \(Y^{n}\setminus f(X^{n})\) of the image of \(f\) is closed and it has dimension \(\geq n-\mu (f), \) where \(\mu (f)\) is a geometric degree of \(f\) (i.e. the number of points in the generic fiber of \(f\)). Moreover he gives a generalization of this result to arbitrary polynomial mappings \(f:X^{n}\rightarrow Y^{n}\).
