Abstract

Let X = Spec(A) be a smooth, affine variety of dimension n ≥ 2 over the field of R real numbers. Let P be a projective A-module of such that its nth Chern class Cn(P) ∈ CH0(X) is zero. In this set-up, Bhatwadekar-Das-Mandal showed (amongst many other results) that P A⊕Q in the case that either n is odd or the topological space X(R) of real points of X does not have a compact, connected component. In this paper, we prove that similar results hold for smooth, affine varieties over an Archimedean real closed field R.
