For real algebraic varieties we define a functorial weight
filtration on homologies with Z/2 coefficients. This filtration is
an analog of Deligne's weight filtration for complex algebraic
varieties and can be defined on classical homologies and on
Borel-Moore homologies. We show that the weight filtration on
Borel-Moore homologies is induced by a geometric functorial
filtration on the complex of semialgebraic chains with closed
supports. The associated spectral sequence gives non-trivial
additive invariants of real algebraic varieties, the virtual Betti
numbers. These additive invariants are used to classify the
singularities of real analytic function germs by method of motivic
integration.
