Let $F$ be a probability distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d$ which admits a bounded density. We investigate the Euler characteristic of the \v{C}ech complex on $n$ points sampled from $F$ i.i.d. as $n\to\infty$ in the thermodynamic limit regime.…
The basic notions of category theory, such as limit, adjunction, and orthogonality, all involve assertions of the existence and uniqueness of certain arrows. Weak notions arise when one drops the uniqueness requirement and asks only for…
Magnitude is a numerical invariant of enriched categories, including in particular metric spaces as $[0,\infty)$-enriched categories. We show that in many cases magnitude can be categorified to a homology theory for enriched categories,…
We use some basic properties of binomial and Stirling numbers to prove that the Euler characteristic is, essentially, the unique numerical topological invariant for compact polyhedra which can be expressed as a linear combination of the…
We lift the Euler characteristic of a nearly perfect complex to a relative algebraic K-group by passing to its l-adic Euler characteristics.
We introduce the theory of enrichment over an internal monoidal category as a common generalization of both the standard theories of enriched and internal categories. The aim of the paper is to justify and contextualize the new notion by…
We extend the theory of Sweeder's measuring comonoids to the framework of duoidal categories: categories equipped with two compatible monoidal structures. We use one of the tensor products to endow the category of monoids for the other with…
For a certain class of abelian categories, we show how to make sense of the "Euler characteristic" of an infinite projective resolution (or, more generally, certain chain complexes that are only bounded above), by passing to a suitable…
We compute the compactly supported Euler characteristic of the space of degree $d$ irreducible polynomials in $n$ variables with real coefficients and show that the values are given by the digits in the so-called balanced binary expansion…
The last years have witnessed rapid progress in the topological characterization of out-of-equilibrium systems. We report on robust signatures of a new type of topology -- the Euler class -- in such a dynamical setting. The enigmatic…
We use Seiberg--Witten-like relations in the topological recursion framework to obtain virtual Euler characteristics for uni- and multicellular maps for ensembles of classic orthogonal polynomials and for ensembles related to nonorientable…
We define a Grothendieck ring of varieties with finite groups actions and show that the orbifold Euler characteristic and the Euler characteristics of higher orders can be defined as homomorphisms from this ring to the ring of integers. We…
For any acyclic quiver $Q$ without multiple edges, we construct a monoidal category $\mathcal{R}_Q$ whose indecomposable objects are tensor products (over the base field) of finite-dimensional modules over the path algebra of $Q$. We show…
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…
We study the Euler characteristic of a hypersurface in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2 \times (\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ defined by a polynomial whose monomial support corresponds to lattice points in $\Delta_1 \times \Delta_1 \times \Delta_n$ as the coefficients…
The notion of the truncated Euler characteristic for Iwasawa modules is an extension of the notion of the usual Euler characteristic to the case when the homology groups are not finite. This article explores congruence relations between the…
Let $V$ be a closed subscheme of a projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$. We give an algorithm to compute the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class, Euler characteristic and Segre class of $ V$. The algorithm can be implemented using either symbolic or…
We assign to a finite $CW$-complex and an element in its first cohomology group a twisted version of the $L^2$-Euler characteristic and study its main properties. In the case of an irreducible orientable $3$-manifold with empty or toroidal…
Given an additive equational category with a closed symmetric monoidal structure and a potential dualizing object, we find sufficient conditions that the category of topological objects over that category has a good notion of full…
We define the twisted tensor product of two enriched categories, which generalizes various sorts of `products' of algebraic structures, including the bicrossed product of groups, the twisted tensor product of (co)algebras and the double…
