In this work, we prove a generalization of Quillen's Theorem A to 2-categories equipped with a special set of morphisms which we think of as weak equivalences, providing sufficient conditions for a 2-functor to induce an equivalence on…

Combining the MPS degeneration formula for the Poincar\'e polynomial of moduli spaces of stable quiver representations and localization theory, it turns that the determination of the Euler characteristic of these moduli spaces reduces to a…

This paper describes how to use subgroups to parameterize unipotent classes in the classical algebraic group in characteristic 2. These results can be viewed as an extension of the Bala-Carter Theorem, and give a convenient way to compare…

Let p be a prime number, G a finite group, and A a finite group acting on G. The Brown poset of nonidentity p-subgroups of G is then an A-poset. We investigate the equivariant subposet and the equivariant Euler characteristics and establish…

The notion of pairable functions is introduced and some of its properties are developed. In this connection the famous Euler identity is interpreted as a property of certain pairable functions and finite cyclic groups.

We give a new formula for the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface in a nonsigular compact complex analytic variety. In particular this formula generalizes our previous result on the Euler characteristic of such a hypersurface.…

We give a diagrammatic summary of the connections between various theorems and conjectures about the vanishing of the Euler characteristic.

The paper studies weak Paley-Wiener properties for group extensions by use of Mackey's theory. The main theorem establishes sufficient conditions on the dual action to ensure that the group has the weak Paley-Wiener property. The theorem…

We discuss the formalism of tautological characteristic classes of flat bundles. Applied to $PSL(2,K)$ it yields the Witt class of Nekovar. Applied to $PGL_+(2n,K)$, the general linear groups with positive determinant over an arbitrary…

We show that both the $\infty$-category of $(\infty, \infty)$-categories with inductively defined equivalences, and with coinductively defined equivalences, satisfy universal properties with respect to weak enrichment in the sense of Gepner…

This note is a contribution written for the second volume of the Encyclopedia of mathematical physics. We give an informal introduction to the notions of an $(\infty,n)$-category and $(\infty,n)$-functor, discussing some of the different…

The Euler characteristic of a semialgebraic set can be considered as a generalization of the cardinality of a finite set. An advantage of semialgebraic sets is that we can define "negative sets" to be the sets with negative Euler…

An n-category is some sort of algebraic structure consisting of objects, morphisms between objects, 2-morphisms between morphisms, and so on up to n-morphisms, together with various ways of composing them. We survey various concepts of…

In this article we extend the theory of lax monoidal structures, also known as multitensors, and the monads on categories of enriched graphs that they give rise to. Our first principal result -- the lifting theorem for multitensors --…

The Euler characteristic of a very affine variety encodes the number of critical points of the likelihood equation on this variety. In this paper, we study the Euler characteristic of the complement of a hypersurface arrangement with…

The class of uniformly computable real functions with respect to a small subrecursive class of operators computes the elementary functions of calculus, restricted to compact subsets of their domains. The class of conditionally computable…

The 2D Euler equations with random initial condition distributed as a certain Gaussian measure are considered. The theory developed by S. Albeverio and A.-B. Cruzeiro is revisited, following the approach of weak vorticity formulation. A…

We unravel a deep connection between limits of real numbers and limits in category theory. Using a new variant of the classical characterisation of the real numbers, we characterise the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and…

Federer's characterization of sets of finite perimeter states (in Euclidean spaces) that a set is of finite perimeter if and only if the measure-theoretic boundary of the set has finite Hausdorff measure of codimension one. In complete…

We prove an identity relating the product of two opposite Schubert varieties in the (equivariant) quantum K-theory ring of a cominuscule flag variety to the minimal degree of a rational curve connecting the Schubert varieties. We deduce…
