A notion of the radial index of an isolated singular point of a 1-form on a singular (real or complex) variety is discussed. For the differential of a function it is related to the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fibre of the function. A…
We determine the relation between the local Euler obstruction $Eu_f$ of a holomorphic function $f$ and different generalizations of the Milnor number for functions on singular spaces.
This work has two complementary parts, in the first part we compute the local Euler obstruction of generic determinantal varieties and apply this result to compute the Chern--Schwartz--MacPherson class of such varieties. In the second part…
We consider 1-forms on, so called, essentially isolated determinantal singularities (a natural generalization of isolated ones), show how to define analogues of the Poincar\'e--Hopf index for them, and describe relations between these…
We study the Euler obstruction of essentially isolated determinantal singularities (EIDS). The EIDS were defined by W. Ebeling and S. Gusein-Zade, as a generalization of isolated singularity. We obtain some formulas to calculate the Euler…
Several authors have proved Lefschetz type formulae for the local Euler obstruction. In particular, a result of this type is proved in [BLS].The formula proved in that paper turns out to be equivalent to saying that the local Euler…
Let $X \subset\mathbb{P}^r$ be a projective $d$-variety with isolated determinantal singularities and $\omega$ be a $1$-form on $X$ with a finite number of singularities (in the stratified sense). Under some technical conditions on $r$ we…
This article is about 1-forms on complex analytic varieties and it is particularly relevant when the variety has non-isolated singularities. We first show how the radial extension technique of M.-H. Schwartz can be adapted to 1-forms,…
We introduce a certain index of a collection of germs of 1-forms on a germ of a singular variety which is a generalization of the local Euler obstruction corresponding to Chern numbers different from the top one.
Let $X$ be a projective algebraic $d$-variety endowed with isolated determinantal singularities, and let $\omega$ be a $1$-form on $X$ exhibiting a finite number of singularities (in the stratified sense). Under some technical conditions,…
Integrals of the Pfaffian form over the nonsingular part of a projective variety compute information closely related to the Mather-Chern class of the variety and to other invariants such as the local Euler obstruction along strata of its…
Indices of singular points of a vector field or of a 1-form on a smooth manifold are closely related with the Euler characteristic through the classical Poincar\'e--Hopf theorem. Generalized Euler characteristics (additive topological…
In this work we present a formula for the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fiber of non-degenerate functions $f: X \to \mathbb{C}$ with isolated critical set relative to a stratification, where $X$ is a $2$-generic symmetric determinantal…
In this note we introduce the concept of reflective projective varieties. These are stratified projective varieties with certain dimension constraints on their dual varieties. We prove that for such varieties, the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson…
For a complex analytic variety with an action of a finite group and for an invariant 1-form on it, we give an equivariant version (with values in the Burnside ring of the group) of the local Euler obstruction of the 1-form and describe its…
We compare the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic to the global Euler obstruction, in case of singular affine varieties, and point out a certain duality among their expressions in terms of strata of a Whitney stratification.
The goal of this note is to explain a derivation of the formulas for the local Euler obstructions of determinantal varieties of general, symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices, by studying the invariant de Rham complex and using character…
The Euler obstruction of a function can be viewed as a generalization of the Milnor number for functions defined on singular spaces. In this work, using the Euler obstruction of a function, we give a version of the L\^e-Greuel formula for…
We give a positive answer to a conjecture of Aluffi-Harris on the computation of the Euclidean distance degree of a possibly singular projective variety in terms of the local Euler obstruction function.
We consider the spectral decomposition of singularities of integrals and their integrands. Our results apply to any integral of Euler-Mellin type, and thus especially to every scalar Feynman integral. Specifically we provide for both the…
