Streszczenie
This paper deals with properties of the algebraic variety defined as the set of zeros of a “defective” sequence of multivariate polynomials. We consider two types of varieties: ideal-theoretic complete intersections and absolutely irreducible varieties. For these types, we establish improved bounds on the dimension of the set of deficient systems of each type over an arbitrary field. On the other hand, we establish improved upper bounds on the number of systems of each type over a finite field.
