The paper is devoted to algebraic surfaces which can be obtained using a simple combinatorial procedure called the T-construction. The class of T-surfaces is sufficiently rich: for example, we construct T-surfaces of an arbitrary degree in RP³ which are M-surfaces. We also present a construction of T-surfaces in RP³ with dim H1 (RX; Z/2) > h1, 1(CX), where RX and CX are the real and the complex point sets of the surface.
It follows from the known restrictions on the topology of a real algebraic variety that the number of handles of the real part of a real nonsingular sextic in CP3 is at most 47. We construct a real nonsingular sextic X6 in CP3 whose real part RX6 has 44 handles. In particular, this surface verifies b1(RX6) = h1,1(X6) + 2. We extend the construction in order to obtain for any even m ≥ 6 a real nonsingular surface Xm of degree m in CP3 verifying b1(RXm) > h1,1(Xm). It is known that such a surface...
