A finite abstract simplicial complex G defines a matrix L, where L(x,y)=1 if two simplicies x,y in G intersect and where L(x,y)=0 if they don't. This matrix is always unimodular so that the inverse g of L has integer entries g(x,y). In…

We prove a Gauss-Bonnet formula X(G) = sum_x K(x), where K(x)=(-1)^dim(x) (1-X(S(x))) is a curvature of a vertex x with unit sphere S(x) in the Barycentric refinement G1 of a simplicial complex G. K(x) is dual to (-1)^dim(x) for which…

For a simplicial complex with n sets, let W^-(x) be the set of sets in G contained in x and W^+(x) the set of sets in G containing x. An integer-valued function h on G defines for every A subset G an energy E[A]=sum_x in A h(x). The…

If K,G are finite abstract simplicial complexes and K is a subcomplex of G then the eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian of K are smaller or equal than the eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian of G, provided the eigenvalue lists are padded…

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…

It is well known that the Euler characteristic of an odd dimensional compact manifold is zero. An Euler complex is a combinatorial analogue of a compact manifold. We present here an elementary proof of the corresponding result for Euler…

We prove that the spectrum of the Kirchhoff Laplacian H0 of a finite simple Barycentric refined graph and the spectrum of the connection Laplacian L of G determine each other: we prove that L-L^(-1) is similar to the Hodge Laplacian H of G…

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…

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…

For a smooth, projective scheme $X$ over a field $k$ or any variety $X$ if $k$ has characteristic zero, we compute the compactly supported $\mathbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic of $\operatorname{Sym}^2(X)$ if $\operatorname{char}(k) \ne 2$…

The variational properties of the scalar so--called ``Universal'' equations are reviewed and generalised. In particular, we note that contrary to earlier claims, each member of the Euler hierarchy may have an explicit field dependence. The…

It is well known that the Euler characteristic of the cohomology of a complex algebraic variety coincides with the Euler characteristic of its cohomology with compact support. An old result of G. Laumon asserts that a relative version of…
