On Affine Real Cubic Surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2023-01-24 v2

Abstract

We prove that the space of affine, transversal at infinity, non-singular real cubic surfaces has 15 connected components. We give a topological criterion to distinguish them and show also how these 15 components are adjacent to each other via wall-crossing.
