Chistov, Alexander L. Efficient Construction of Local Parameters of Irreducible Components of an Algebraic Variety. Email: sliss@iias.spb.su Primary MSC:14Q15 Abstract: Consider an $n-s$--dimensional algebraic variety $V$ defined over a perfect infinite field $k$ and irreducible over this field which is a subvariety of the projective space of dimension $n$. We prove that the local ring of $V$ has a regular sequence (respectively if characteristic $char (k)=0$ a sequence of local parameters) represented by $s$ non--homogeneous polynomials the product of degrees of which is less than the degree of the variety multiplied to a constant depending on $n$. In the case when $V$ is an irreducible component of an algebraic variety given by a system of homogeneous polynomial equations of degrees less than $d$ over a field of zero--characteristic the degrees of all these local parameters are less then $d$ multiplied to a constant depending on $n$. These constants depending on $n$ are estimated. Comment: To be published in the Proceedings of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society.
