Abstract

An algebraic version of Kashiwara and Schapira's calculus of constructible functions is used to describe local topological properties of real algebraic sets, including Akbulut and King's numerical conditions for a stratified set of dimension three to be algebraic. These properties, which include generalizations of the invariants modulo 4, 8 and 16 of Coste and Kurdyka, are defined using the link operator on the ring of constructible functions.
