We state and prove a generalization of the Poincar\'e-Hopf index theorem for manifolds with boundary. We then apply this result to non-vanishing complex vector fields.

The Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem for line fields, as described in a paper of Crowley and Grant, is interpreted as a special case of a Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem for $n$-valued sections of a vector bundle over a closed manifold of the same…

The Poincar\'e-Hopf Theorem relates the Euler characteristic of a 2-dimensional compact manifold to the local behavior of smooth vector fields defined on it. However, despite the importance of Filippov vector fields, concerning both their…

A generalization of the Poincar\'{e}-Hopf index theorem applicable to hybrid dynamical systems is obtained. For the hybrid systems considered, guard sets are not assumed to be smooth; distinct "modes" are not assumed to have constant…

The Poincare-Hopf Theorem is one of the most used in other areas of science. There are applications of the Poincare-Hopf Theorem in physics, chemistry, biology and even in economics, psychology, etc ... The Poincare-Hopf Theorem connects an…

For a manifold with boundary, the restriction of Chern's transgression form of the Euler curvature form over the boundary is closed. Its cohomology class is called the secondary Chern-Euler class and used by Sha to formulate a relative…

The Poincare-Hopf theorem tells us that given a smooth, structurally stable vector field on a surface of genus g, the number of saddles is 2-2g less than the number of sinks and sources. We generalize this result by introducing a more…

Let $M$ be a non-compact connected manifold with a cocompact and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group $G$. We establish a Poincar\'{e}-Hopf theorem for a bounded vector field on $M$ satisfying a mild condition on zeros. As an…

The goal of this work is to generalize the Gauss-Bonnet and Poincar\'{e}-Hopf Theorems to the case of orbifolds with boundary. We present two such generalizations, the first in the spirit of Satake. In this case, the local data (i.e.…

A Poincar\'e-Hopf Theorem for line fields with point singularities on orientable surfaces can be found Hopf's 1956 Lecture Notes on Differential Geometry. In 1955 Markus presented such a theorem in all dimensions, but Markus' statement only…

Braid Floer homology is an invariant of proper relative braid classes. Closed integral curves of 1-periodic Hamiltonian vector fields on the 2-disc may be regarded as braids. If the Braid Floer homology of associated proper relative braid…

We compute (algebraically) the Euler characteristic of a complex of sheaves with constructible cohomology. A stratified Poincar\'e-Hopf formula is then a consequence of the smooth Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem and of additivity of the…

The Poincare-Hopf theorem states that a globally smooth tangent vector does not exist on a manifold whose Euler characteristic is non-zero. Nevertheless, when one defines a differential equation on such a manifold, this theorem is always…

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…

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,…

We express the beta invariant of a loopless matroid as tropical self-intersection number of the diagonal of its matroid fan (a "local" Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem). This provides another example of uncovering the "geometry" of matroids by…

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…

A vector field X on a manifold M with possibly nonempty boundary is inward if it generates a unique local semiflow $\Phi^X$. A compact relatively open set K in the zero set of X is a block. The Poincar\'e-Hopf index is generalized to an…

The Law of Vector Fields is a term coined by Gottlieb for a relative Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem. It was first proved by Morse and expresses the Euler characteristic of a manifold with boundary in terms of the indices of a generic vector field…

The global qualitative behaviour of fields of principal directions for the graph of a real valued polynomial function $f$ on the plane are studied. We provide a Poincar\'e-Hopf type formula where the sum over all indices of the principal…
