Une sextique de l'espace projectif réel avec un grand nombre d'anses.
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 CP is at most 47. We construct a real nonsingular sextic X in CP whose real part RX has 44 handles. In particular, this surface verifies b(RX) = h(X) + 2. We extend the construction in order to obtain for any even m ≥ 6 a real nonsingular surface X of degree m in CP verifying b(RX) > h(X). It is known that such a surface does not exist...
