These notes form the next episode in a series of articles dedicated to a detailed proof of a cohomological index formula for transversally elliptic pseudo-differential operators and applications. The first two chapters are already available…

We use the non-proper Morse theory of Palais-Smale to investigate the topology of smooth closed subvarieties of complex semi-abelian varieties, and that of their infinite cyclic covers. As main applications, we obtain the finite generation…

Let $M$ be a smooth algebraic variety of dimension $2(p+q)$ with an algebraic symplectic form and a compatible deformation quantization $\mathcal{O}_h$ of the structure sheaf. Consider a smooth coisotropic subvariety $j: Y \to M$ of…

We introduce the characteristic class of an l-adic etale sheaf using a cohomological pairing due to Verdier (SGA5). As a consequence of the Lefschetz-Verdier trace formula, its trace computes the Euler-Poincare characteristic of the sheaf.…

We consider the quotient variety associated to a linear representation of the cyclic group of order p in characteristic p>0. We estimate the minimal discrepancy of exceptional divisors over the singular locus. In particular, we give…

A notion of a nearly toric variety is introduced. The examples of nearly toric varieties in the context of Schubert varieties are discussed. In particular, combinatorial characterizations of the smooth and singular nearly toric Schubert…

Indices of vector fields on (complex analytic) singular varieties have been considered by various authors from several different viewpoints. All these indices coincide with the classical local index of Poincar\'e-Hopf when the ambient…

A conjecture of J. Huh and B. Sturmfels predicts that the sign of the Euler characteristic of a complex very affine variety depends only on the parity of the dimension. The conjecture is true for locally complete intersections. Beyond this…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent sheaf on a complex variety $X$ that has a locally free resolution $E^{\bullet}$. In [19], the authors constructed a pseudomeromorphic current whose support is contained in $supp(E^{\bullet})$ that represents…

To every abelian subvariety of a principally polarized abelian variety $(A, \mathcal{L})$ we canonically associate a numerical class in the N\'eron-Severi group of $A$. We prove that these classes are characterized by their intersection…

A particular case of Bergeron-Venkatesh's conjecture predicts that torsion classes in the cohomology of Shimura varieties are rather rare. According to this and for Kottwitz-Harris-Taylor type of Shimura varieties, we first associate to…

In this paper we study some new theories of characteristic homology classes for singular complex algebraic (or compactifiable analytic) spaces. We introduce a motivic Chern class transformation mC_{*}: K_{0}(var/X)-> G_{0}(X)[y], which…

We construct Euler and Stiefel-Whitney classes of vector bundles with quadratic form by analyzing the intersection theory of the associated quadric bundles. We also compute the Chow rings of quadric and isotropic flag bundles. Along the…

We study singular hermitian metrics on holomorphic vector bundles, following Berndtsson-P{\u{a}}un. Previous work by Raufi has shown that for such metrics, it is in general not possible to define the curvature as a current with measure…

For two complex vector bundles admitting a homomorphism with isolated singularities between them, we establish a Poincar\'e-Hopf type formula for the difference of the Chern character numbers of these two vector bundles. As a consequence,…

We compute Euler characteristics of p-subgroup categories of finite groups

In this work, singular surfaces are obtained from smooth orientable closed surfaces by applying three basic simple loop operations, collapsing operation, zipping operation and double loop identification, each of which produces different…

The aim of this paper is twofold. One is to give a definition of the Euler characteristic of infinite acyclic categories with filtrations and the other is to prove the invariance of the Euler characteristic under the subdivision of finite…

Using the weak factorization theorem we give a simple presentation for the value group of the universal Euler characteristic with compact support for varieties of characteristic zero and describe the value group of the universal Euler…

We discuss secondary (and higher) characteristic classes for algebraic vector bundles with trivial top Chern class. We show that if X is a smooth affine scheme of dimension d over a field k of finite 2-cohomological dimension (with char(k)…
