We prove a generalization to the context of real geometry of an intersection formula for the vanishing cycle functor, which in the complex context is due to Dubson, Ginsburg, Le and Sabbah (after a conjecture of Deligne). It is also a…

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…

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…

In this short note we will use the residue theorem to establish a formula for Euler's constant. In particular, we offer a slightly generalized version of an interesting infinite series due to Flajolet, Gourdon, and Dumas.

We develop an obstruction theory for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the gluing problem for a destriction functor and apply it to some well-known biset functors. The obstruction groups for this theory are reduced cohomology…

We give explicit MacPherson cycles for the Chern-MacPherson class of a closed affine algebraic variety $X$ and for any constructible function $\alpha$ with respect to a complex algebraic Whitney stratification of $X$. We define generalized…

The goal of this small note is to give a more concise proof of a result due to Berthelot, Esnault, and R\"ulling. For a regular, proper, and flat scheme $X$ over a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic $(0,p)$, it relates the…

In this paper, we state with a variational method a general theorem providing the existence of a weak solution $u$ for fractional Euler-Lagrange equations of the type: $$ \dfrac{\partial L}{\partial x} (u,D^\alpha_- u,t) + D^\alpha_+…

In this article, we give a simple proof of the comparison of nearby and vanishing cycles in the sense of Riemann-Hilbert correspondence following the idea of Beilinson and Bernstein, without using the Kashiwara-Malgrange $V$-filtrations.

In this paper, we investigate the local Euler obstruction and the relative local Euler obstruction in terms of constructible complexes of sheaves, characteristic cycles, and vanishing cycles. The fundamental tool that we use is the notion…

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…

In this paper we discuss an obstruction to the integral Hodge conjecture, which arises from certain behavior of vanishing cycles. This allows us to construct new counter-examples to the integral Hodge conjecture. One typical such…

We give a diagrammatic summary of the connections between various theorems and conjectures about the vanishing of the Euler characteristic.

We define the characteristic cycle of an etale sheaf as a cycle on the cotangent bundle of a smooth variety in positive characteristic using the singular support recently defined by Beilinson. We prove a formula a la Milnor for the total…

We establish a Liouville type theorem for the fractional Lane-Emden system: \begin{eqnarray*} \left\{\begin{array}{l@{\quad }l} (-\Delta)^\alpha u=v^q&{\rm in}\,\,\R^N,\\ (-\Delta)^\alpha v=u^p&{\rm in}\,\,\R^N, \end{array} \right.…

We study the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of zero-cycles of degree $d$ on certain classes of varieties over number fields. We generalise existing results in the literature and prove some results about fibrations over the…

We prove existence and uniqueness results for patterns of circles with prescribed intersection angles in constant curvature surfaces. Our method is based on two new functionals--one for the Euclidean and one for the hyperbolic case. We show…

Recently the second and third author developed an iterative scheme for obtaining rough solutions of the 3D incompressible Euler equations in H\"older spaces (arXiv:1202.1751 and arXiv:1205.3626 (2012)). The motivation comes from Onsager's…

We revisit Akbulut and King's first example of a compact semialgebraic set which satisfies Sullivan's local Euler characteristic condition, but which is not homeomorphic to an algebraic set. A nontrivial obstruction is computed using the…

We extend the descent theory of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc to arbitrary smooth algebraic varieties by removing the condition that every invertible regular function is constant. This links the Brauer--Manin obstruction for integral…
