Abstract
Comessatti proved that the set of all real points of a rational real algebraic surface is either a nonorientable surface, or diffeomorphic to the sphere or the torus. Conversely, it is well known that each of these surfaces admits at least one rational real algebraic model. We prove that they admit exactly one rational real algebraic model. This was known earlier only for the sphere, the torus, the real projective plane and the Klein bottle.
