A geometric model of an arbitrary real closed field

Stanisław Spodzieja

Vol. 264 (2013), No. 2, 455–469
Abstract

We give an elementary construction of any real closed field in terms of Nash function fields. We also give a characterization of any Archimedean field in terms of fields of Nash functions.

Keywords
Nash function, semialgebraic set, real closed field, ordering
