A note on a local combinatorial formula for the Euler class of a PL spherical fiber bundle

Algebraic Topology 2021-09-21 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We present a local combinatorial formula for the Euler class of a nn-dimen\-si\-onal PL spherical fiber bundle as a rational number eCHe_{\it CH} associated to a chain of n+1n+1 abstract subdivisions of abstract nn-spherical PL cell complexes. The number eCHe_{\it CH} is a combinatorial (or matrix) Hodge theory twisting cochain in Guy Hirsch's homology model of the bundle associated with PL combinatorics of the bundle.
