Abstract:
Consider an $(n-s)$-dimensional algebraic variety $W$
defined over an infinite field $k$ of nonzero
characteristic $p$ and irreducible over this field. Let $W$
be a subvariety of the projective space of dimension $n$.
We prove that the local ring of $W$ has a sequence of
local parameters represented by $s$ nonhomogeneous
polynomials with the product of degrees less than the
degree of the variety multiplied by a constant depending on $n$. This allows us to prove the existence of effective smooth
cover and smooth stratification of an algebraic variety in
the case of ground field of nonzero characteristic. The
paper extends the analogous results of the author obtained
earlier in the case of zero characteristic of the ground field.
