Let X and Y be affine nonsingular real algebraic varieties. One of the classical
problems in real algebraic geometry is whether a given C1 mapping f : X ! Y
can be approximated by regular mappings in the space of C1 mappings. In this
thesis, we obtain some sufficient conditions in the case when Y is the standard
sphere Sn.
In the second part of the thesis, we study mainly the kernel of the induced map
on homology i : Hk(X,R) ! Hk(XC,R), where i : X ! XC is a nonsingular
projective complexification. First, using Lefshcetz Hyperplane Section Theorem
we study KHk(X H,R), where H is a hyperplane. In the remaining part, we
relate KHk(X,R) to the realization of cohomology classes of XC by harmonic
forms.
