The real cycle class isomorphism for linear schemes

Abstract

The real cycle class map $H^i(X,\underline{I}^j(\mathcal{L})) \rightarrow H^i_\text{sing}(X(\mathbb{R}),\mathbb{Z}(\mathcal{L}))$ is an isomorphism for $j\geq \dim(X)+1$ for any scheme $X$ over $\mathbb{R}$ by a result of Jacobson. It is also known to be an isomorphism for $j\geq i$, the earliest possible case, if $X$ is cellular due to Hornbostel-Wendt-Xie-Zibrowius. This paper generalizes their result to linear schemes, providing (precise) intermediate bounds on the range, where the real cycle class map is an isomorphism. Moreover, we show that Lerbet's conjectured upper bound for the exponent of the cokernel of $H^i(X,\underline{I}^i(\mathcal{L})) \rightarrow H^i_\text{sing}(X(\mathbb{R}),\mathbb{Z}(\mathcal{L}))$ cannot be improved. This is part of the author's PhD thesis.
