In this paper, we show that the Euler characteristic of an even dimensional closed projectively flat manifold is equal to the total measure which is induced from a probability Borel measure on RP^n invariant under the holonomy action, and…

We compute the Euler characteristic with compact supports $\chi_c$ of the formal barycenter spaces with weights of a finite CW complex, connected or not. This reduces to the topological Euler characteristic $\chi$ when the weights of the…

We consider the independence complexes of square grids with cylindrical boundary conditions. When one of the dimensions is small we use simple reductions induced by edge removals to show explicit natural homotopy equivalences between those…

There are (at least) two different approaches to define equivariant analogue of the Euler charateristic for a space with a finite group action. The first one defines it as an element of the Burnside ring of the group. The second approach…

For the moduli spaces of Abelian differentials, the Euler characteristic is one of the most basic intrinsic topological invariants. We give a formula for the Euler characteristic that relies on intersection theory on the smooth…

We introduce the Euler-Poincar\'e's characteristic with an elementary way and historically. We explain also why one should call Descartes-Poincar\'e characteristic instead of the Euler-Poincar\'e's characteristic. All the considered spaces…

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…

Differential equations are derived which show how generalized Euler vector representations of the Euler rotation axis and angle for a rigid body evolve in time; the Euler vector is also known as a rotation vector or axis-angle vector. The…

For a finitely presented discrete group $\Gamma$, we introduce two generalizations of the orbifold Euler characteristic and $\Gamma$-orbifold Euler characteristic to a class of proper topological groupoids large enough to include all…

We revisit Allendoerfer-Weil's formula for the Euler characteristic of embedded hypersurfaces in constant sectional curvature manifolds, first taking some time to re-prove it while demonstrating techniques of [2] and then applying it to…

The higher characteristics w_m(G) for a finite abstract simplicial complex G are topological invariants that satisfy k-point Green function identities and can be computed in terms of Euler characteristic in the case of closed manifolds,…

A topological version of a longstanding conjecture of H. Hopf, originally proposed by W. Thurston, states that the sign of the Euler characteristic of a closed aspherical manifold of dimension $d=2m$ depends only on the parity of $m$.…

The Euler characteristic, thought of as a function that assigns a numerical value to every finite simplicial complex, is locally determined in both a combinatorial sense and a geometric sense. In this note we show that not every function…

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…
