[R1] Ruiz J. : On Hilbert's 17th problem an real Nullstellensatz for global analytic functions. Math. Z. 190, 447-459 ( 1985). | MR 806902 | Zbl 0579.14021

Finally, there is an abstract theory of real constructible sets that generalizes both the algebraic and the analytic cases. A symmetric presentation of it is the subject of the forthcoming book. | MR 1051217 | Zbl 0723.14041
