Generalized analytic delineability conjecture for iterated resultants

From papers

Let f1,,ftf_1,\ldots,f_t be relatively prime real polynomials of positive degrees with respect to xf+1,,xrx_{f+1},\ldots,x_r, and let x=(x1,,xf)x=(x_1,\ldots,x_f). Let D(x)D(x) be a generalized discriminant of f1,,ftf_1,\ldots,f_t with respect to xf+1,,xrx_{f+1},\ldots,x_r, with D(x)0D(x)\neq 0. Let SS be a simply connected submanifold of Rf\mathbb{R}^f such that the total number of common zeros, counted with multiplicity, of the fif_i in Ct\mathbb{C}^t is finite and constant on SS, and D(x)D(x) is order-invariant on SS. Suppose further that the polynomials fif_i and their first derivatives with respect to the last tt variables have no common zero in the cylinder S×RtS\times\mathbb{R}^t over SS. Generalized analytic delineability conjecture. Then the variety VV of the fif_i is analytically delineable on SS with respect to the last tt variables. This conjecture would provide the first of two lifting theorems needed to extend CAD-based quantifier-elimination methods from the cases p=t=1p=t=1 and p=t=2p=t=2 to the general family p=t1p=t\geq 1; the required generalized discriminant and analytic-delineability notions are proposed by analogy with the previously studied cases, so the conjecture's resolution is not established here.
