Abstract: | We show that for all i?0 the i-th mod 2 Betti number of compact nonsingular real algebraic varieties has a unique extension to a virtual Betti numberβi defined for all real algebraic varieties, such that if Y is a closed subvariety of X then βi(X)=βi(X?Y)+βi(Y). We show by example that there is no natural weight filtration on the -cohomology of real algebraic varieties with compact supports such that the virtual Betti numbers are the weighted Euler characteristics.
