Abstract

Using the Lascar inequalities, we show that any finite rank δ-closed subset of a quasiprojective variety is definably isomorphic to an affine δ-closed set. Moreover, we show that if X is a finite rank subset of the projective space ℙn and a is a generic point of ℙn, then the projection from a is injective on X. Finally we prove that if RM = RC in DCF0, then RM = RU.
