Invariants of real affine varieties based on their complexifications
Abstract
We introduce a new family of invariants of real algebraic sets defined in terms of the topology of their complexifications and compute some of these invariants for spheres. This allows us to completely classify topological isomorphism classes of algebraic vector bundles over products of two spheres. We also obtain new results concerning both the existence and nonexistence of regular maps from products of spheres into spheres. Additionally, we show that the newly defined invariants provide obstructions to weak algebraic approximation of smooth submanifolds of real algebraic sets, disproving a conjecture of Kucharz and Kurdyka.
