Abstract Let X be a compact nonsingular affine real algebraic variety. We prove that every pre-algebraic vector bundle on X becomes algebraic after finitely many blowing ups. Using this theorem, we then prove that the Stiefel-Whitney classes of any pre-algebraic R-vector bundle on X are algebraic. We also derive that the Chern classes of any pre-algebraic C-vector bundles and the Pontryagin classes of any pre-algebraic R-vector bundle are blowC-algebraic. We also provide several results on line bundles on X . Keywords Real algebraic variety · Pre-algebraic vector bundle · Algebraic vector bundle · Multiblowup · Regulous map.

1 Introduction The language of real algebraic geometry, as in [5], is used throughout this paper. Thus, an affine real algebraic variety is a locally ringed space isomorphic to an algebraic subset of Rn , for some n, endowed with the Zariski topology and the sheaf of real-valued regular functions. A real algebraic variety is a locally ringed space that can be covered by finitely many open sets, each of which, together with the restriction of the structure sheaf, is an affine real algebraic variety, cf. [5, Definition 3.2.11]. The underlying topology of any real algebraic variety is called the Zariski topology. Each quasi-projective real algebraic variety is affine, cf. [5, Proposition 3.2.10, Theorem 3.4.4]. Morphisms of real algebraic varieties are called regular maps. Each real algebraic variety carries also the Euclidean topology, which is induced by the usual metric on R. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all topological notions relatin! g to real algebraic varieties refer to the Euclidean topology. Let F stand for R, C or H (the quaternions). Only left F-vector spaces will be considered. When convenient, F will be identified with Rd(F) , where d(F) = dimR F. Let X be an affine real algebraic variety. In the present paper investigated are relationships between pre-algebraic and algebraic F-vector bundles on X , cf. [5, Chapter 12] for the definitions of such bundles. It should be mentioned that pre-algebraic vector bundles and algebraic vector bundles had been called algebraic vector bundles and strongly algebraic vector bundles, respectively, in the literature predating the
