Abstract:
We describe the topological types of the real parts of the Kummer
surfaces associated with real three-dimensional quadric line complexes.
The topological type of the real part of such a surface is shown
to depend on the number of real singular points: it is determined
by the number of such points if any exist, and otherwise the real part
of the Kummer surface is either empty or consists of one or two tori.
