Abstract

We construct 6-dimensional manifolds for which not all codimension 2 homology classes (with Z / 2 \mathbb {Z}/2 -coefficients) are realized by algebraic subvarieties in any real algebraic structure on the manifold. It was known that such examples exist in dimension 11 and higher, and that dimension 6 is the best possible. We also give an elementary algebraic topological proof of a connection between codimension 2 submanifolds and vector bundles which was previously proven only by algebraic geometrical methods.
