Higher-dimensional failure of semigroup decompositions for semi-algebraic sets
Higher-dimensional failure of semigroup decompositions for semi-algebraic sets
For each dimension , let be the class of sets admitting the semigroup decomposition considered in the paper, and call a set semi-algebraic if it is defined by polynomial inequalities. Higher-dimensional semigroup decomposition conjecture. There exist semi-algebraic sets in dimension which do not belong to , but all semi-algebraic sets defined by three-variable polynomials do belong to .
This conjecture proposes that the dimension-three theorem is the last possible general result of this form, while the supplied text gives no resolution of the higher-dimensional assertion.
