Abstract

We give explicit computations of the Γ\Gamma-Euler characteristic of several families of orbit space definable translation groupoids. These include the translation groupoids associated to finite-dimensional linear representations of the circle and real and unitary representations of the real 2×22\times 2 orthogonal group. In the case of translation groupoids associated to linear symplectic quotients of representations of a arbitrary compact Lie group GG, we show that unlike the other cases, the Γ\Gamma-Euler characteristic depends only on the group and not on the representation.
