We relate certain universal curvature identities for Kaehler manifolds to the Euler-Lagrange equations of the scalar invariants which are defined by pairing characteristic forms with powers of the Kaehler form.

Let K be an algebraically closed field, X a K-scheme, and X(K) the set of closed points in X. A constructible set C in X(K) is a finite union of subsets Y(K) for finite type subschemes Y in X. A constructible function f : X(K) --> Q has…

We compute the Euler characteristics of quiver Grassmannians and quiver flag varieties of tree and band modules and prove their positivity. This generalizes some results by G.C. Irelli [arXiv:0910.2592]. As an application we consider the…

Via counting over finite fields, we derive explicit formulas for the E-polynomials and Euler characteristics of GL(d)- and PGL(d)-character varieties of free groups. We prove a positivity property for these polynomials and relate them to…

We give a list of universal linear relations between the Euler characteristics of manifolds consisting of multisingularities of a generic Lagrangian map into a five-dimensional space. From these relations it follows, in particular, that the…

We associate weight complexes of (homological) motives, and hence Euler characteristics in the Grothendieck group of motives, to arithmetic varieties and Deligne-Mumford stacks; this extends the results in the paper "Descent, Motives and…

It is shown that the Euler characteristic $\chi_{(\mathcal{H},\mathcal{B},\epsilon_q)}$ of a $\mathbb{Z}[[q]]$-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}$ associated with a finitely generated Coxeter group $(W,S)$ coincides with $p_{(W,S)}(q)^{-1}$, where…
