Hilbert's Nullstellensatz and Lower Bounds on Polynomial Values
Abstract: In 1890 Hilbert stated his famous Nullstellensatz, one of his
three cornerstones of the algebra of polynomials and therefore of
commutative algebra. Making it "effective" became a famous problem and
getting "good" explicit control of degrees took a long time. Problems
of classical analysis and of the theory of transcendental numbers
require lower bounds on values of polynomials. These questions are related.
