Euler characteristics of collapsing Alexandrov spaces

Differential Geometry 2024-12-13 v3 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We prove that the Euler characteristic of a collapsing Alexandrov space (in particular, a Riemannian manifold) is equal to the sum of the products of the Euler characteristics with compact support of the strata of the limit space and the Euler characteristics of the fibers over the strata. This was conjectured by Semyon Alesker.
