Resumen:
We show that the known algorithms used to re-write any first order quantifier-free formula over an algebraically closed field into its normal disjunctive form are essentially optimal. This result follows from an estimate on the number of sets definable by equalities and inequalities of fixed polynomials. Finally we apply our results to obtain similar estimates in the real case.
