3 We construct for real algebraic varieties on H cl ( ; Z 2) an analog of Deligne s weight filtration : 0 = W k 1 H k (X) W k H k (X) W 0 H k (X) = H cl k (X;Z 2). We give two different constructions of a spectral sequence that defines this filtration. C. McCrory, A. Parusiński, The weight filtration for real algebraic varieties, Topology of Stratified Spaces, MSRI Pub. 58, Cambridge University Press, New York, 2011, Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

4 Weight spectral sequence To each real algebraic variety X we associate a functorial spectral sequence E r p,q(x) = H cl p+q(x, Z 2 ). The associated filtration is the weight filtration: 0 = W k 1 H k (X) W k H k (X) W 0 H k (X) = H cl k (X; Z 2). Remark : In general the weight spectral sequence does not collapse at E 2.

5 Construction 1 : Resolution of singularities and homological algebra. In 2002 B. Totaro proposed to introduce the weight filtration on the (co)homology of real algebraic varieties using the work of F. Guillén and V. Navarro Aznar, by analogy with Deligne s weight filtration for complex varieties as generalized by H. Gillet and C. Soulé.

6 Construction 1 : Resolution of singularities and homological algebra. In 2002 B. Totaro proposed to introduce the weight filtration on the (co)homology of real algebraic varieties using the work of F. Guillén and V. Navarro Aznar, by analogy with Deligne s weight filtration for complex varieties as generalized by H. Gillet and C. Soulé. Recipe: 1 Define a functor on non-singular projective varieties. 2 Show that this functor satisfies some axioms. 3 By Guillén and Navarro Aznar this functor extends to singular not necessarily compact varieties by means of resolution of singularities.

A.] this functor extends to arbitrary real algebraic varieties X WC (X) and WC (X) is a filtered chain complex well-defined up to a filtered quasi-isomorphism. The associated spectral sequence is the weight spectral sequence. Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

10 Construction 2. For arbitrary real algebraic variety X we define a functorial filtration 0 G k C k (X) G 0 C k (X) = C k (X) on the complex of semi-algebraic chains C k (X) := C cl k (X; Z 2). Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

11 Construction 2. For arbitrary real algebraic variety X we define a functorial filtration 0 G k C k (X) G 0 C k (X) = C k (X) on the complex of semi-algebraic chains C k (X) := C cl k (X; Z 2).

Let c C k (X). We resolve the singularities of the Zariski closure of c. So assume Y = c Z is smooth compact and locally c is defined in Y by monomial inequalites. Then, c G k+p C k (X) if, locally, c is a combination of chains with at most p-corners as singularities. Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

17 Generalized Euler characteristics for real algebraic varieties A generalized Euler characteristic associates to each real algebraic variety a number e(x) so that 1. e(x \ Y ) = e(x) e(y ) if Y X is a closed subvariety 2. e(x Y ) = e(x)e(y ). 3. e(x) = e(y ) if X isomorphic to Y.

Example: Euler characteristic with compact support χ c (X) = i ( 1) i dimh i c (X;k) = i ( 1) i dimh cl i (X;k) (The only homeomorphism invariant generalized Euler characteristic) Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

19 Virtual Poincaré polynomial Theorem There is a unique generalized Euler caracteristic β(x)(u) = i β i (X)u i, such that β i (X) = dim Z2 H i (X, Z 2 ) for X non-singular and compact. Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

20 Virtual Poincaré polynomial Theorem There is a unique generalized Euler caracteristic β(x)(u) = i β i (X)u i, such that β i (X) = dim Z2 H i (X, Z 2 ) for X non-singular and compact. Definition : β q (X) = p ( 1) p dim Z2 Ẽ 2 p,q, where Ẽ2 p,q = E1 q,p +2q. Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

21 Virtual Poincaré polynomial Note: deg β(x) = dimx, β dim X > 0, β(x) = 0 X =. Theorem Let e : Var G be an additive invariant defined on real algebraic sets such that for any pair X,Y of C diffeomorphic nonsingular compact real algebraic sets we have e(x) = e(y ). Then there exists a unique group homomorphism h : Z[u] G such that e = h β. If, moreover, e is multiplicative then h is a ring homomorphism. Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

22 Theorem (Toshizumi Fukui, Krzysztof Kurdyka, A. P.) Let h : (R n,0) (R n,0) be a semialgebraic homeomorphism germ. Suppose that h and h 1 are arc-analytic. Then h Lipschitz = h 1 Lipschitz Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

23 Theorem (Toshizumi Fukui, Krzysztof Kurdyka, A. P.) Let h : (R n,0) (R n,0) be a semialgebraic homeomorphism germ. Suppose that h and h 1 are arc-analytic. Then h Lipschitz = h 1 Lipschitz Definition f : U R n R m is arc-analytic if for every real analytic arc germ γ : (R,0) (R n,p), p U, f γ is again real analytic. Examples: f (x,y) = x 4 + y 4 and Q(x,y) = x5 y x 6 + y4, Q(0,0) = 0, Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

24 Definition f : U R n R m is blow-analytic if there is a composition of finitely many blowings-up with smooth nowhere dense centers, σ : M U, such that f σ is real analytic. Always : f blow-analytic = f arc-analytic. Theorem (Bierstone & Milman, A.P.) If the graph of f is semi-algebraic then, f blow-analytic f arc-analytic Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

25 Theorem Let h : (R n,0) (R n,0) be a semialgebraic homeomorphism germ. Suppose that h and h 1 are arc-analytic. Then h Lipschitz = h 1 Lipschitz Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

26 Theorem Let h : (R n,0) (R n,0) be a semialgebraic homeomorphism germ. Suppose that h and h 1 are arc-analytic. Then h Lipschitz = h 1 Lipschitz To prove this theorem it suffices to show that Theorem Suppose that h and h 1 are arc-analytic and semialgebraic. If the jacobian determinant det(dh) is bounded from above, then it is bounded from below. C det(dh) C = c 0 < c det(dh) Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

27 Proof. The jacobian matrix of h 1 equals 1 (cofactor matrix of the jacobian matrix of h) det(dh) Since h is Lipschitz, each coefficient of the jacobian matrix of h 1 is bounded, and hence h 1 is Lipschitz. Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21

28 Choice of a good category : { algebraic sets, polynomial maps } { AS- sets (arc-symmetric semialgebraic sets), maps with AS-graphs } It contains, in particular, Nash maps and Nash manifolds (Nash = real analytic + semialgebraic), connected or analytic components of compact real algebraic sets, and differences of such sets. The virtual Poincaré polynomial can be extended to this category. Adam Parusiński (Nice) Weight filtration for real algebraic varieties Liverpool, June / 21
