Topology of real algebraic sets of dimension 4: necessary conditions
Abstract
Operators on the ring of algebraically constructible functions are used to compute local obstructions for a four-dimensional semialgebraic set to be homeomorphic to a real algebraic set. The link operator and arithmetic operators yield 243-43 independent characteristic numbers mod 2, which generalize the Akbulut-King numbers in dimension three.
