A polynomial generalization of the Euler characteristic for algebraic sets

Algebraic Geometry 2011-11-16 v1

Abstract

We present a method to compute the Euler characteristic of an algebraic subset of \bcn\bc^n. This method relies on clasical tools such as Gr\"obner basis and primary decomposition. The existence of this method allows us to define a new invariant for such varieties. This invariant is related to the poblem of counting rational points over finite fields.
