Real algebraic surfaces with rational or elliptic fiberings (Q762575)

The main parts of the paper are devoted to the study of ruled and elliptic real algebraic surfaces. The topological structure of the real part X(\({\mathbb{R}})\) of a ruled surface X over \({\mathbb{R}}\) is completely determined. In the more complicated case of a (B-minimal) elliptic fibering \(\pi: X\to B\) the singular fibers are studied. In this part, the fibers in a neighbourhood of a special point \(b_ 0\) of B(\({\mathbb{R}})\) (i.e. the fiber in \(b_ 0\) is singular), the group structure of \(Reg(\pi^{-1}(b_ 0))({\mathbb{R}})\), and the algebraic structure of \(\pi^{-1}(b_ 0)\) are determined. Finally examples for some of the situations derived in this way, are constructed as well as a \(K_ 3\) surface X, such that X(\({\mathbb{R}})\) is connected, non-orientable and of Euler characteristic -18.
