Abstract

Nash conjectured in 1952 that every compact differentiable manifold can be realized as the set of real points of a real algebraic variety which is birational to projective space. This paper announces the negative solution of this conjecture in dimension 3. The proof shows that in fact very few 3- manifolds can be realized this way.
