Abstract

We answer in the negative the long-standing open question of whether biholomorphic equivalence implies algebraic equivalence for germs of real algebraic manifolds in Cn\mathbb C^n. More precisely we give an example of two germs of real algebraic surfaces in C2\mathbb C^2 that are biholomorphic, but not by means of an algebraic biholomorphism.
