A characterization is completed for finite groups acting arc-transitively on maps with square-free Euler characteristic, associated with infinite families of regular maps of square-free Euler characteristic presented. This is based on a…

For an affine complex algebraic singular space Y, we define a global Euler obstruction Eu(Y) which extends the Euler-Poincare characteristic of a nonsingular Y. Using Lefschetz pencils, we express Eu(Y) as alternating sum of global polar…

We introduce a Grothendieck group of algebraic stacks (with affine stabilisers) analogous to the Grothendieck group of algebraic varieties. We then identify it with a certain localisation of the Grothendieck group of algebraic varieties.…

A notion of exotic (ordered) configuration spaces of points on a space $X$ was suggested by Yu.~Baryshnikov. He gave equations for the (exponential) generating series of the Euler characteristics of these spaces. Here we consider un-ordered…

We characterize vector lattices in which unbounded order convergence is eventually order bounded. Among other things, the characterization provides a solution to \cite[Probl.23]{Az}.

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…

Assume that the coefficients of a polynomial in a complex variable are Laurent polynomials in some complex parameters. The parameter space (a complex torus) splits into strata corresponding to different combinations of coincidence of the…

We prove an analogue of the Riemann-Hurwitz theorem for computing Euler characteristics of pullbacks of coherent sheaves through finite maps of smooth projective varieties, subject only to the condition that the irreducible components of…

We study the cohomology of an elliptic differential complex arising from the infinitesimal moduli of heterotic string theory. We compute these cohomology groups at the standard embedding, and show that they decompose into a direct sum of…

We discuss properties of the complete Euler characteristic of a group G of type FP over the complex numbers and we relate it to the L2-Euler characteristic of the centralizers of the elements of G.

The paper is concerned with the character theory of finite groups of Lie type. The irreducible characters of a group $G$ of Lie type are partitioned in Lusztig series. We provide a simple formula for an upper bound of the maximal size of a…

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…

For a simplicial complex X on {1,2, ..., n} we define enriched homology and cohomology modules. They are graded modules over k[x_1, ..., x_n] whose ranks are equal to the dimensions of the reduced homology and cohomology groups. We…

The finite groups having an indecomposable polynomial invariant whose degree is at least half of the order of the group are classified. Apart from four sporadic exceptions these are exactly the groups having a cyclic subgroup of index at…

Let f be a C1 bivariate function with Lipschitz derivatives, and F = {x $\in$ R2 : f(x) $\lambda$} an upper level set of f, with $\lambda$ $\in$ R. We present a new identity giving the Euler characteristic of F in terms of its three-points…

The congruence subgroups $\Gamma_1(m,p)$ that we consider here are subgroups of $GL_m(\Z)$ that fix the vector $(0,\dots,0,1) \mod p$, where $p\geq 5$ is a prime. We present a method and many computations of homological Euler…

Studying geodesics in Cayley graphs of groups has been a very active area of research over the last decades. We introduce the notion of a uniquely labelled geodesic, abbreviated with u.l.g. These will be studied first in finite Coxeter…

An infinite structure has the finite length property (over a given field) if, for each of its finite powers, chains of equivariant subspaces in the corresponding free vector space are bounded in length. Prior work showed that the countable…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated polyfree group. If $G$ has nonzero Euler characteristic then we show that $Aut(G)$ has a finite index subgroup in which every automorphism has infinite Reidemeister number. For certain $G$ of length 2, we…

Let G be a finite non-abelian simple group and let p be a prime. We classify all pairs (G,p) such that the sum of the complex irreducible character degrees of G is greater than the index of a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Our classification…
