Manifolds admitting positive sectional curvature are conjectured to have rigid homotopical structure and, in particular, comparatively small Euler charateristics. In this article, we obtain upper bounds for the Euler characteristic of a…
Let G be a countable discrete group and let M be a smooth proper cocompact G-manifold without boundary. The Euler operator defines via Kasparov theory an element, called the equivariant Euler class, in the equivariant K-homology of M. The…
In this paper, we will compute the dimension of the space of spun and ordinary normal surfaces in an ideal triangulation of the interior of a compact 3-manifold with incompressible tori or Klein bottle components. Spun normal surfaces have…
We geometrically construct a homology theory that generalizes the Euler characteristic mod 2 to objects in the unoriented cobordism ring N_*(X) of a topological space X. This homology theory Eh_* has coefficients Z/2 in every nonnegative…
The Euler-Poincare characteristic, or Euler characteristic in short, is a fundamental topological invariant of compact manifolds that plays a crucial role in a variety of geometric and topological situations. From this point of view, we…

A semi-equivelar gem of a PL $d$-manifold is a regular colored graph that represents the PL $d$-manifold and regularly embeds on a surface, with the property that the cyclic sequence of degrees of faces in the embedding around each vertex…
In this work we prove that for a compact odd-dimensional orbifold its Euler characteristic is half of the Euler characteristic of its boundary.
Generating functions for the number of commuting m-tuples in the symmetric groups are obtained. We define a natural sequence of ``orbifold Euler characteristics'' for a finite group G acting on a manifold X. Our definition generalizes the…
In his seminal 1976 paper Bill Thurston observed that a closed leaf S of a foliation has Euler characteristic equal, up to sign, to the Euler class of the foliation evaluated on [S], the homology class represented by S. The main result of…
The adjunction inequality is a key tool for bounding the genus of smoothly embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds. Using gauge-theoretic invariants, many versions of this inequality have been established for both closed surfaces and surfaces with…
We found a class of triangulated surfaces in Euclidean space which have similar properties as isothermic surfaces in Differential Geometry. We call a surface isothermic if it admits an infinitesimal isometric deformation preserving the mean…
Semi-Equivelar maps are generalizations of Archimedean Solids (as are equivelar maps of the Platonic solids) to the surfaces other than $2-$Sphere. We classify some semi equivelar maps on surface of Euler characteristic -1 and show that…
A submanifold is said to be tangentially biharmonic if the bitension field of the isometric immersion that defines the submanifold has vanishing tangential component. The purpose of this paper is to prove that a surface in Euclidean…
We find an algorithm to compute the quadratic Euler characteristic of a smooth projective complete intersection of hypersurfaces of the same degree. As an example, we compute the quadratic Euler characteristic of a smooth projective…
The formula for the Turaev-Viro invariant of a 3-manifold depends on a complex parameter t. When t is not a root of unity, the formula becomes an infinite sum. This paper analyzes convergence of this sum when t does not lie on the unit…
For an $n$-fold geometrically cyclic branched covering $Y$ of a smooth, projective scheme $X$ branched at a smooth closed subscheme $Z\subset X$ with $n \in k^\times$, we compute the quadratic Euler characteristic of $Y$ in terms of certain…
Euler's inequality is a well known inequality relating the inradius and circumradius of a triangle. In Euclidean geometry, this inequality takes the form $R \geq 2r$ where $R$ is the circumradius and $r$ is the inradius. In spherical…
We give new relations between geometric invariants of $K3$ surfaces with purely non-symplectic automorphisms of order 4 and 6. Our approach is based on a comparison of two methods of computation of formulas for the Euler characteristic of…
