Hi all,

Need a help to find 'when certain geomtries can be viewed as algebraic varieties and determine when their automorphism groups are algebraic groups'


Thanks

First define what exactly you mean by "certain geomtries".

Yea I want to know about what type of geometries can be viewed as algebraic varieties .


Thanks.

All real manifolds are algebraic varieties if that's what you mean.

Thanks for your reply.

May I have brief introduction or any source of this (what type of geomtries can be viewed as algebraic varieties and determine when their automorphism groups are algebraic groups).

I believe it was Nash that originally proved this in his paper "Real Algebraic Manifolds" which should be available on JSTOR for example.
