Example of complex projective variety without a real descent
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I encountered the problem of trying to find the examples of complex varieties which are not the complexification of a real variety, when I considered the Exercise II.4.7.(a) in Hartshorne's book. I wonder whether there are indeed some interesting complex varieties which don't have the so called semi-linear involution in Hartshorne's book. For rational affine curve, I have found the following example $$A=mathbbC[x,frac1x-1,frac1x-i,frac1x-i-1]$$ by a little hard calculation, considering the possible semi-linear involutions of the field $mathbbCleft(xright)$ induced by the complex conjugation of $mathbbC$ . But I really wonder whether there are some interesting examples of complex projective varieties without real descent. I have poor knowledge on the classical topics in algebraic geometry, therefore I find it difficult to work out the problem by myself. Could anyone shed some light on my confusion? Th...
