Homology classes of real algebraic sets

Wojciech Kucharz — 2008

Annales de l’institut Fourier

There is a large research program focused on comparison between algebraic and topological categories, whose origins go back to 1952 and the celebrated work of J. Nash on real algebraic manifolds. The present paper is a contribution to this program. It investigates the homology and cohomology classes represented by real algebraic sets. In particular, such classes are studied on algebraic models of smooth manifolds.

Cycles on algebraic models of smooth manifolds

Wojciech Kucharz — 2009

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Every compact smooth manifold M is diffeomorphic to a nonsingular real algebraic set, called an algebraic model of M . We study modulo 2 homology classes represented by algebraic subsets of X , as X runs through the class of all algebraic models of M . Our main result concerns the case where M is a spin manifold.

Approximation by continuous rational maps into spheres

Wojciech Kucharz — 2014

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Investigated are continuous rational maps of nonsingular real algebraic varieties into spheres. In some cases, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a continuous map to be approximable by continuous rational maps. In particular, each continuous map between unit spheres can be approximated by continuous rational maps.

Codimension two transcendental submanifolds of projective space

Wojciech KucharzSantiago R. Simanca — 2010

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We provide a simple characterization of codimension two submanifolds of n ( ) that are of algebraic type, and use this criterion to provide examples of transcendental submanifolds when n 6 . If the codimension two submanifold is a nonsingular algebraic subset of n ( ) whose Zariski closure in n ( ) is a nonsingular complex algebraic set, then it must be an algebraic complete intersection in n ( ) .
