	In [[mathematics]], a [[field (mathematics)\|field]] ''F'' is called '''quasi-algebraically closed''' (or '''C<sub>1</sub>''') if every non-constant [[homogeneous polynomial]] ''P'' over ''F'' has a non-trivial zero provided the number of its variables is more than its degree. The idea of quasi-algebraically closed fields was investigated by [[C. C. Tsen]], a student of [[Emmy Noether]] in a 1936 paper; and ~~later in the 1951 [[Princeton University]] dissertation of [[Serge Lang]]~~. ~~The idea itself~~ is ~~attributed to Lang~~'s ~~advisor [[Emil Artin]].~~		I am Oscar and I totally dig that title. Minnesota is where he's been residing for many years. The favorite pastime for my kids and me is to perform baseball and I'm trying to make it a occupation. He used to be unemployed but now he is a pc operator but his marketing by no means arrives.<br><br>Review my web-site: [http://ironptstudio.com/rev/239375 http://ironptstudio.com/rev/239375]

	~~Formally, if ''P'' is a non-constant homogeneous polynomial in variables~~

	~~:''X''<sub>1</sub>, ..., ''X''<sub>''N''</sub>,~~

	~~and of degree ''d'' satisfying~~

	~~:''d'' < ''N''~~

	~~then it has a non-trivial zero over ''F''; that is,~~ for ~~some ''x''<sub>''i''</sub> in ''F'', not all 0, we have~~

	~~:''P''(''x''<sub>''1''</sub>, ..., ''x''<sub>''N''</sub>) = 0.~~

	~~In geometric language, the [[hypersurface]] defined by ''P'', in [[projective space]] of dimension ''N'' − 2, then has a point over ''F''.~~

	~~==Examples==~~
	*Any [[algebraically closed field]] is quasi-algebraically closed. ~~In fact, any homogeneous polynomial in at least two variables over an algebraically closed field has a non-trivial zero.<ref name=FJ455>Fried & Jarden (2008) p.455</ref>~~

	*A complete field with a discrete valuation and ~~an algebraically closed residue field is quasi-algebraically closed by~~ a ~~result of Lang~~.~~<ref name=S79162/><ref name=GS144>Gille & Szamuley (2006) p.144</ref>~~
	* A [[pseudo algebraically closed field]] of [[Characteristic (algebra)\|characteristic]] zero is ~~quasi-algebraically closed.<ref name=FJ462>Fried & Jarden (2008) p.462</ref>~~

	~~==Properties==~~
	*Any algebraic extension of a ~~quasi-algebraically closed field is quasi-algebraically closed.~~
	*The [[Brauer group]] of a finite extension of a quasi-algebraically closed field is trivial.<ref>Lorenz (2008) p.181</ref><ref name=S79161>Serre (1979) p.161</ref><ref name=GS141>Gille & Szamuely (2006) p.141</ref>

	~~==''C''<sub>k</sub> fields==~~
	Quasi-algebraically closed fields are also called ''C''<sub>1</sub>. A '''C<sub>''k''</sub> field''', more generally, is one for which any homogeneous polynomial of degree ''d'' in ''N'' variables has a non-trivial zero, provided

	~~:''d''<sup>''k''</sup> < ''N'',~~

	~~===Weakly C<sub>''k''<~~/~~sub> fields===~~
	~~A field ''K'' is '''weakly C<sub>''k'',''d''<~~/~~sub>''' if for every homogeneous polynomial of degree ''d'' in ''N'' variables satisfying~~

For many years he's been living in Alaska and he doesn't plan on changing it. What me and my family members love is bungee jumping but I've been using on new issues recently.
