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…

A Q-manifold is a graded manifold endowed with a vector field of degree one squaring to zero. We consider the notion of a Q-bundle, that is, a fiber bundle in the category of Q-manifolds. To each homotopy class of ``gauge fields'' (sections…

A Seifert bundle over a variety X is a variety Y with a proper action of the multiplicative group such that the quotient is X. The topological version of this notion (using circle actions) was introduced by Seifert, the holomorphic version…
