For a partition $lambda=\{lambda_1 \geq \lambda_2 \geq \lambda_3 \}$ of non-negative integers, we calculate the Euler characteristic of the local system $V_{\lambda}$ on the moduli space of genus 3 hyperelliptic curves using a suitable…

The Euler characteristic, thought of as a function that assigns a numerical value to every finite simplicial complex, is locally determined in both a combinatorial sense and a geometric sense. In this note we show that not every function…

This is a paper that aims to interpret the cardinality of a set in terms of Baire Category, i.e. how many closed nowhere dense sets can be deleted from a set before the set itself becomes negligible. . To do this natural tree-theoretic…

We prove an algebraic formula for the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fibres of functions with critical locus a smooth curve on a space which is a weighted homogeneous complete intersection with isolated singularity.

Given an abelian length category A, the Gabriel-Roiter measure with respect to a length function l is characterized as a universal morphism ind(A)-->P of partially ordered sets. The map is defined on the isomorphism classes of…

The concept of generalized functions taking values in a differentiable manifold is extended to a functorial theory. We establish several characterization results which allow a global intrinsic formulation both of the theory of…

It is shown that Euler's theorem for graphs can be generalized for 2-complexes. Two notions that generalize cycle and Eulerian tour are introduced (``circlet'' and ``Eulerian cover''), and we show that for a strongly-connected, pure…

We derive a general formula for the Euler characteristic of a fibration of projective hypersurfaces in terms of invariants of an arbitrary base variety. When the general fiber is an elliptic curve, such formulas have appeared in the physics…

A characterization of the general linear equation in standard form admitting a maximal symmetry algebra is obtained in terms of a simple set of conditions relating the coefficients of the equation. As a consequence, it is shown that in its…

Let $R$ be a smooth affine domain of dimension $d\geq 2$ over an infinite perfect field $k$. We establish a morphism from the Euler class group $E^d(R)$ to $Um_{d+1}(R)/E_{d+1}(R)$, the group of elementary orbits of unimodular rows.

\"Uberhomology is a recently defined homology theory for simplicial complexes, which yields subtle information on graphs. We prove that bold homology, a certain specialisation of \"uberhomology, is related to dominating sets in graphs. To…

The notion of the truncated Euler characteristic for Iwasawa modules is an extension of the notion of the usual Euler characteristic to the case when the homology groups are not finite. This article explores congruence relations between the…

We develop the concept of character level for the complex irreducible characters of finite, general or special, linear and unitary groups. We give characterizations of the level of a character in terms of its Lusztig's label and in terms of…

Category theory has foundational importance because it provides conceptual lenses to characterize what is important in mathematics. Originally the main lenses were universal mapping properties and natural transformations. In recent decades,…

We classify all cubic function fields over any finite field, particularly developing a complete Galois theory which includes those cases when the constant field is missing certain roots of unity. In doing so, we find criteria which allow…

Within the framework of mappings between affine spaces, the notion of $n$-th polarization of a function will lead to an intrinsic characterization of polynomial functions. We prove that the characteristic features of derivations, such as…

Every endofunctor of the category of classes is proved to be set-based in the sense of Aczel and Mendler, therefore, it has a final coalgebra. Other basic properties of these endofunctors are proved, e.g. the existence of a free completely…

Colimits that satisfy the Van Kampen condition have interesting exactness properties. We show that the elementary presentation of the Van Kampen condition is actually a characterisation of a universal property in the associated bicategory…

We show that a natural, two sorted $\cL_{\omega_1,\omega}$ theory involving the modular $j$-function is categorical in all uncountable cardinaities. It is also shown that a slight weakening of the adelic Mumford-Tate conjecture for products…

We prove a new universal identity for umbral operators. This motivates the definition of a subclass satisfying a simplified identity, which we fully characterize. The results are illustrated with common examples of the theory of umbral…
