For a manifold with boundary, the restriction of Chern's transgression form of the Euler curvature form over the boundary is closed. Its cohomology class is called the secondary Chern-Euler class and used by Sha to formulate a relative…

Indices of singular points of a vector field or of a 1-form on a smooth manifold are closely related with the Euler characteristic through the classical Poincar\'e--Hopf theorem. Generalized Euler characteristics (additive topological…

A Poincar\'{e}-Hopf theorem in the spirit of Pugh is proven for compact orbifolds with boundary. The theorem relates the index sum of a smooth vector field in generic contact with the boundary orbifold to the Euler-Satake characteristic of…

We define and study the secondary Chern-Euler class for a general submanifold of a Riemannian manifold. Using this class, we define and study index for a vector field with non-isolated singularities on a submanifold. As an application, our…

The goal of this work is to generalize the Gauss-Bonnet and Poincar\'{e}-Hopf Theorems to the case of orbifolds with boundary. We present two such generalizations, the first in the spirit of Satake. In this case, the local data (i.e.…

Let $M$ be a non-compact connected manifold with a cocompact and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group $G$. We establish a Poincar\'{e}-Hopf theorem for a bounded vector field on $M$ satisfying a mild condition on zeros. As an…

The index theorem of Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of manifold with boundary is given by making use of the general decomposition theory of spin connection. We shows the sum of the total index of a vector field $\phi $ and half the total…

The Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem for line fields, as described in a paper of Crowley and Grant, is interpreted as a special case of a Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem for $n$-valued sections of a vector bundle over a closed manifold of the same…

In this article we present a natural generalization of Newton's Second Law valid in field theory, i.e., when the parameterized curves are replaced by parameterized submanifolds of higher dimension. For it we introduce what we have called…

The Poincar\'e-Hopf Theorem is a conservation law for real-analytic vector fields, which are tangential to a closed surface (such as a torus or a sphere). The theorem also governs real-analytic vector fields, which are tangential to…
