Topological manifolds and real algebraic geometry

Alberto Tognoli (2003)

Similarity:

We study the problem of approximating, up to homotopy, compact topological manifolds by real algebraic varieties. As a consequence, we realize any integral non-degenerate quadratic form as the intersection form of a real algebraic variety. This is related to a well-known result, due to Freedman [F], on the topology of closed simply-connected topological 4 -manifolds.
