Characteristic Cycles and the Relative Local Euler Obstruction

Algebraic Geometry 2017-05-03 v2

Abstract

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 of a characteristic complex for an analytic space embedded in affine space.
