More precisely, we will give a proof of the so-called Connectedness Conjecture for the coordinate rings of such varieties, which implies the Pierce-Birkhoff Conjecture.v2: Removed typos, changed content. v3: Added missing conditions for several results in section 6Algebraic GeometryCommutative AlgebraOn the Pierce-Birkhoff Conjecture for Smooth Affine Surfaces over Real Closed Fieldstext
