Spaces of rational maps and the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem
arXiv:math/0307103
Abstract
It is shown that Segal's theorem on the spaces of rational maps from CP^1 to CP^n can be extended to the spaces of continuous rational maps from CP^m to CP^n for any m less than or equal to n. The tools are the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem and Vassiliev's machinery of simplicial resolutions.
