Abstract
There is an interesting connection between the arrangement of branches of a real algebraic curve on the projective plane, on the one hand, and the topology of certain complex algebraic surfaces, on the other. In the present paper this connection is used for extracting, from simple considerations of four-dimensional topology and the arithmetic of integral quadratic forms, information about the arrangement of ovals of a real plane algebraic curve.
