Abstract
Given a smooth variety over the field of real numbers and a line bundle on with associated topological line bundle , we study the quadratic real cycle class map from the -th Chow-Witt group of to the -th cohomology group of its real locus with coefficients in the local system associated with . We focus on the cases where is the dimension of and we formulate a precise conjecture on the image of in terms of the exponents of its cokernel that is corroborated by the results obtained in those codimensions.
