Gauss-Bonnet for simple graphs G assures that the sum of curvatures K(x) over the vertex set V of G is the Euler characteristic X(G). Poincare-Hopf tells that for any injective function f on V the sum of i(f,x) is X(G). We also know that…

We give a zero curvature proof of Dehn-Sommerville for finite simple graphs. It uses a parametrized Gauss-Bonnet formula telling that the curvature of the valuation G to f_G(t)=1+f0 t + ... + fd t^(d+1) defined by the f-vector of G is the…

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…

Given a locally injective real function g on the vertex set V of a finite simple graph G=(V,E), we prove the Poincare-Hopf formula f_G(t) = 1+t sum_{x in V} f_{S_g(x)}(t), where S_g(x) = { y in S(x), g(y) less than g(x) } and f_G(t)=1+f_0 t…

While Euler characteristic X(G)=sum_x w(x) super counts simplices, Wu characteristics w_k(G) = sum_(x_1,x_2,...,x_k) w(x_1)...w(x_k) super counts simultaneously pairwise interacting k-tuples of simplices in a finite abstract simplicial…

We illustrate connections between differential geometry on finite simple graphs G=(V,E) and Riemannian manifolds (M,g). The link is that curvature can be defined integral geometrically as an expectation in a probability space of…

Let G be a locally compact group, let X be a universal proper G-space, and let Z be a G-equivariant compactification of X that is H-equivariantly contractible for each compact subgroup H of G. Let W be the resulting boundary. Assuming the…

We introduce the index i(v) = 1 - X(S(v)) for critical points of a locally injective function f on the vertex set V of a simple graph G=(V,E). Here S(v) = {w in E | (v,w) in E, f(w)-f(v)<0} is the subgraph of the unit sphere at v in G. It…

We prove a prototype curvature theorem for subgraphs G of the flat triangular tesselation which play the analogue of "domains" in two dimensional Euclidean space: The Pusieux curvature K(p) = 2|S1(p)| - |S2(p)| is equal to 12 times the…

This is a note on three graph parameters motivated by the Euler-Poincare characteristic for simplicial complex. We show those three graph parameters of a given connected graph $G$ is greater than or equal to that of the complete graph with…

We prove a discrete Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem which states where summing the curvature over all vertices of a finite graph G=(V,E) gives the Euler characteristic of G.

We construct a Cartesian product G x H for finite simple graphs. It satisfies the Kuenneth formula: H^k(G x H) is a direct sum of tensor products H^i(G) x H^j(G) with i+j=k and so p(G x H,x) = p(G,x) p(H,y) for the Poincare polynomial…

Given a finite simple graph G=(V,E) with chromatic number c and chromatic polynomial C(x). Every vertex graph coloring f of G defines an index i_f(x) satisfying the Poincare-Hopf theorem sum_x i_f(x)=chi(G). As a variant to the index…

A finite abstract simplicial complex G defines two finite simple graphs: the Barycentric refinement G1, connecting two simplices if one is a subset of the other and the connection graph G', connecting two simplices if they intersect. We…

In their paper "Integrating curvature: From Umlaufsatz to J+ invariant" Lanzat and Polyak introduced a polynomial invariant of generic curves in the plane as a quantization of Hopf's Umlaufsatz, and showed that Arnold's J+ invariant could…

A quadrature rule of a measure $\mu$ on the real line represents a convex combination of finitely many evaluations at points, called nodes, that agrees with integration against $\mu$ for all polynomials up to some fixed degree. In this…

We consider Gauss sums associated to functions $T\to \mathbb R/\mathbb Z$ which satisfy some sort of quadratic property and investigate their elementary properties. These properties and a Gauss sum formula from the nineteenth century due to…

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.…
