For any automorphism \\(\\sigma\\) of the field \\(\\mathbb{C}\\), a new complex variety \\(X^{\\sigma}\\) can be obtained by applying \\(\\sigma\\) to the defining equations of \\(X\\). Let \\(F\\) be a countable subfield of \\(\\mathbb{C}\\). \\textit{G. González-Diez} [Q. J. Math. 57, No. 3, 339--354 (2006; Zbl 1123.14016)] that the finiteness of the set of \\textit{isomorphism classes} of \\(X^{\\sigma},\\,\\sigma\\in\\mathrm{Aut}(\\mathbb{C})\\) is equivalent to the definability of \\(X\\) over \\(F\\). The paper under review revisits that paper using the language of schemes and gives a simplified proof of that theorem. The author has actually shown a refined version: The closed embedding \\(X\\subseteq\\mathbb{P}^n_{\\mathbb{C}}\\) is definable over \\(F\\) if and only if the orbit \\(\\{X^{\\sigma}\\}_{\\sigma\\in\\mathrm{Aut}(\\mathbb{C})}\\) is already finite.NEWLINENEWLINEIn the second part of the paper, Belyi's theorem for curves is reviewed and extensions to minimal surfaces are discussed. For nonruled minimal surfaces, the author gives a new proof of a theorem of \\textit{G. González-Diez} [Am. J. Math. 130, No. 1, 59--74 (2008; Zbl 1158.14015)] about the definability over number fields. A new result in the same direction established in the present paper is a sufficient condition for a ruled nonrational minimal surface to be definable over number fields."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-06-02T16:21:31Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
