Lazard delineations of a family from its irreducible basis #
Let F be a finite family of polynomials in a distinguished variable over ℝ[X₀, …, Xₙ₋₁], and
let B be an irreducible basis of F (Finset.IsIrreducibleBasis): every member of F is its
content times a unit times a product of powers of members of B. Read each such polynomial as a
real polynomial in n + 1 variables whose last variable is the distinguished one, as in
TauCeti.LazardDelineation.
A Lazard delineation of the basis over S ⊆ ℝⁿ induces a Lazard delineation of the family with
exactly the same root functions, provided the content of every member of F has constant Lazard
valuation on S. For each nonzero member of F, Lazard evaluation is multiplicative, so its
Lazard evaluation is a nonzero constant times a product of powers of the Lazard evaluations of
the basis members.
Hence its roots are basis roots, its root multiplicities are fixed weighted sums of the basis
multiplicities, and its removed base exponents are the content exponents plus a fixed weighted
sum of the basis exponents. Zero members are allowed; the root-coverage condition for a Lazard
delineation applies only to nonzero members. Every section of the basis stack is a root of some
nonzero member of F, since each basis member divides one.
No connectedness, analyticity or preservation of ordinary fibre degrees is needed. Nonzero
members of F may be nullified at points of S, and their contents may vanish.
This is the passage from the basis to the original family in Lazard's lifting: once the basis
has a Lazard delineation over a cell on which the Lazard projection is valuation-invariant, every
original input is valuation-invariant, hence sign-invariant, on each section and sector above it
(TauCeti.LazardDelineation.lazardValuation_snoc_eq_of_mem_sectionSet,
TauCeti.LazardDelineation.signInvariant_sectionSet and their sector versions).

Lazard delineation of a family from its irreducible basis. A Lazard delineation of an
irreducible basis B of F over S induces a Lazard delineation of F with the same ordered
root functions, provided the content of every member of F has constant Lazard valuation on S.
Members of F may be nullified at points of S; no connectedness of S is needed.
