We present a definition of intersection homology for real algebraic varieties that is analogous to Goresky and MacPherson’s original definition of intersection homology for complex varieties. This definition is not purely topological and uses the algebraic variety structure. We show that it has the expected properties in two cases when the varietyadmits a small resolution and when the singularities are isolated.
