We prove a formula that relates the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a closed semi-algebraic set to its Lipschitz-Killing curvatures
The Euler obstruction of a function can be viewed as a generalization of the Milnor number for functions defined on singular spaces. In this work, using the Euler obstruction of a function, we give a version of the L\^e-Greuel formula for…
A new curvature obstruction to the existence of a timelike (resp. causal) Killing or homothetic vector field $X$ on an even-dimensional (odd-dimensional) Lorentzian manifold, in terms of its timelike (resp. null) sectional curvature is…
We extend the well-known formula for the Euler class of a real oriented even-dimensional vector bundle in terms of the curvature of a metric connection to the case of a general linear connection provided a metric is present. We rewrite the…
Several authors have proved Lefschetz type formulae for the local Euler obstruction. In particular, a result of this type is proved in [BLS].The formula proved in that paper turns out to be equivalent to saying that the local Euler…
For a complex analytic variety with an action of a finite group and for an invariant 1-form on it, we give an equivariant version (with values in the Burnside ring of the group) of the local Euler obstruction of the 1-form and describe its…
We examine universal curvature identities for pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We determine the Euler-Lagrange equations associated to the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula and show that they are given solely in terms of curvature {and…
The Weyl principle is extended from the Riemannian to the pseudo-Riemannian setting, and subsequently to manifolds equipped with generic symmetric $(0,2)$-tensors. More precisely, we construct a family of generalized curvature measures…
We write the Euler characteristic X(G) of a four dimensional finite simple geometric graph G=(V,E) in terms of the Euler characteristic X(G(w)) of two-dimensional geometric subgraphs G(w). The Euler curvature K(x) of a four dimensional…
Our interest in this paper is to explore limit theorems for various geometric functionals of excursion sets of isotropic Gaussian random fields. In the past, limit theorems have been proven for various geometric functionals of excursion…
In this work we investigate the topological information captured by the Euler obstruction of a map, $f:(X,0)\to (\mathbb{C}^{2},0)$, with $(X,0)$ a germ of a complex $d$-equidimensional singular space, with $d > 2$, and its relation with…
We consider closed manifolds that admit a metric locally isometric to a product of symmetric planes. For such manifolds, we prove that the Euler characteristic is an obstruction to the existence of flat structures, confirming an old…
We study the set of curvature functions which a given compact manifold with boundary can possess. First, we prove that the sign demanded by the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is a necessary and sufficient condition for a given function to be the…
We obtain fractal Lipschitz-Killing curvature-direction measures for a large class of self-similar sets F in R^d. Such measures jointly describe the distribution of normal vectors and localize curvature by analogues of the higher order mean…
We introduce a certain index of a collection of germs of 1-forms on a germ of a singular variety which is a generalization of the local Euler obstruction corresponding to Chern numbers different from the top one.
For germs of subanalytic sets, we define two finite sequences of new numerical invariants. The first one is obtained by localizing the classical Lipschitz-Killing curvatures, the second one is the real analogue of the evanescent…
In this work, we investigate the bi-Lipschitz invariance of two fundamental local invariants in singularity theory: the {\L}ojasiewicz exponent and the local Euler obstruction. We draw inspiration from Bivi\`a-Ausina and Fukui, whose…
For an affine complex algebraic singular space Y, we define a global Euler obstruction Eu(Y) which extends the Euler-Poincare characteristic of a nonsingular Y. Using Lefschetz pencils, we express Eu(Y) as alternating sum of global polar…
In this paper, we refine the framework of Arveson's version of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula by proving that a submodule in the Drury-Arveson module being locally algebraic is equivalent to Arveson's version of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern…
We compute the measure with multiplicity of the set of complex planes intersecting a compact domain in a complex space form. The result is given in terms of the so-called hermitian intrinsic volumes. Moreover, we obtain two different…
