We prove that the set of Segre-degenerate points of a real-analytic subvariety X in C n is a closed semianalytic set. If X is coherent, it is a subvariety. More precisely, the set of points where the germ of the Segre variety is of dimension k or greater is a closed semianalytic set in general, and for a coherent X, it is a real-analytic subvariety of X. For a hypersurface X in C n , the set of Segre-degenerate points, X [n] , is a semianalytic set of dimension at most 2n − 4. If X is coherent, then X [n] is a complex subvariety of (complex) dimension n − 2. Example hypersurfaces are given showing that X [n] need not be a subvariety and that it also needs not be complex; X [n] can, for instance, be a real line.
