Four families of maximal real algebraic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{RP}^4$

Abstract

In this paper, we present four families of maximal real algebraic hypersurfaces of even degree in $\mathbb{RP}^4$ constructed using O. Viro's combinatorial patchworking method. We compare the Euler characteristic of the real part and the signature of the complex part of double coverings of $\mathbb{CP}^4$ ramified over the complex part of the constructed real algebraic hypersurfaces. We prove that these invariants are not necessarily equal and can even be asymptotically different.Comment: 56 pages, 15 figure
