Abstract

We give a characterization of the irreducible components of a Weierstrass-type (W-type) analytic (resp. algebraic, Nash) variety in terms of the orbits of a Galois group associated in a natural way to this variety. Since every irreducible variety of pure dimension is (locally) a component of a W-type variety, this description may be applied to any such variety.
