On the number of real forms of a complex variety

Algebraic Geometry 2026-05-27 v3

Abstract

We give a bound on the number of weighted real forms of a complex variety with finite automorphism group, where the weight is the inverse of the number of automorphisms of the real form. We give another bound involving the Sylow 2-subgroup and as an application we give bounds on real forms of plane curves.
