Abstract

Let XX be a complex smooth algebraic variety admitting a symmetry LL, that is, an antiholomorphic automorphism of order two. If both, XX and LL are defined over Q\overline{\mathbb Q}, then Koeck, Lau and Singerman showed the existence of a complex smooth algebraic variety ZZ admitting a symmetry TT, both defined over RQ{\mathbb R} \cap \overline{\mathbb Q}, and of an isomorphism R:XZR:X \to Z so that RLR1=TR \circ L \circ R^{-1}=T. The provided proof is existential and, if explicit equations for XX and LL are given over Q\overline{\mathbb Q}, then it is not described how to get the explicit equations for ZZ and TT over RQ{\mathbb R} \cap \overline{\mathbb Q}. In this paper we provide an explicit rational map RR defined over Q{\mathbb Q} so that Z=R(X)Z=R(X) is defined over RQ{\mathbb R} \cap \overline{\mathbb Q} and with T=RLR1T=R \circ L \circ R^{-1} being the usual conjugation map.
