Characteristic cycle and the Euler number of a constructible sheaf on a surface

Algebraic Geometry 2015-10-14 v1

Abstract

We define the characteristic cycle of a constructible sheaf on a smooth surface in the cotangent bundle. We prove that the intersection number with the 0-section equals the Euler number and that the total dimension of vanishing cycles at an isolated characteristic point is also computed as an intersection number.
