Abstract: A general problem is to classify the real forms of a complex variety up to isomorphism. This paper introduces the polar group of a real form $X$ of a complex variety $Y$ as a tool to distinguish such real forms. This group is an invariant of $X$ which encodes information about the residual divisors in the coordinate ring of $Y$ over the coordinate ring of $X$. We calculate polar groups for various curves, including the real line and the algebraic 1-sphere.
