Abstract
Stratified-algebraic vector bundles on real algebraic varieties have many desirable features of algebraic vector bundles but are more flexible. We give a characterization of the compact real algebraic varieties X having the following property: There exists a positive integer r such that for any topological vector bundle ξ on X, the direct sum of r copies of ξ is isomorphic to a stratifiedalgebraic vector bundle. In particular, each compact real algebraic variety of dimension at most 8 has this property. Our results are expressed in terms of K-theory.
