New Euler characteristics for groupoids generalize orbifold Euler characteristics.

New evidence supports the Euler class one conjecture for tight contact structures.

It is well known that the Euler characteristic of an odd dimensional compact manifold is zero. An Euler complex is a combinatorial analogue of a compact manifold. We present here an elementary proof of the corresponding result for Euler complexes.

In this paper, we study Euler classes in groups of homeomorphisms of Seifert fibered 3-manifolds. We show that, in contrast to the familiar Euler class for Homeo0(S1)δ\mathrm{Homeo}_0(S^1)^δ, these Euler classes for Homeo0(M3)δ\mathrm{Homeo}_0(M^3)^δ are unbounded classes. In fact, we give examples of flat topological M bundles over a g…

Schwarzian derivative connects to Euler-Lagrange equations in variational calculus.

problem Understanding the relationship between the Schwarzian derivative and variational equations.
method Analyzing the Schwarzian derivative as a first integral and Euler-Lagrange operator for specific variations.
result The Schwarzian derivative is both a first integral and the Euler-Lagrange operator for a certain class of variations.

Co-Euler structures were studied by Burghelea and Haller on closed manifolds as dual objects to Euler structures. We extend the notion of co-Euler structures to the situation of compact manifolds with boundary. As an application, by studying their variation with respect to smooth changes of the Riemannian metric, co-Eu…

Euler calculus is based on integrating simple functions with respect to the Euler characteristic. This paper makes the case for extending Euler calculus to continuous integrands by integrating with respect to (Gaussian) curvature. This requires a metric but is nevertheless defined within any O-minimal theory. It satisf…

The paper extends Euler class theory to measurable cocycles.

problem Understanding the structure of measurable cocycles and their cohomology.

result The parametrized Euler class vanishes if and only if the cocycle can be lifted and admits an equivariant family of points.

We compute the Euler characteristics of the recently discovered series of Gothic Teichmüller curves. The main tool is the construction of 'Gothic' Hilbert modular forms vanishing at the images of these Teichmüller curves. Contrary to all previously known examples, the Euler characteristic is not proportional to the Eul…

An explicit construction of closed, orientable, smooth, aspherical 4-manifolds with any odd Euler characteristic greater than 12 is presented. The manifolds constructed here are all Haken manifolds in the sense of B. Foozwell and H. Rubinstein and can be systematically reduced to balls by suitably cutting them open alo…

Applying a local Gauss-Bonnet formula for closed subanalytic sets to the complex analytic case, we obtain characterizations of the Euler obstruction of a complex analytic germ in terms of the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures and the Chern forms of its regular part. We also prove analogous results for the global Euler obstr…

In this article, we show how to embed the so-called CH2 equations into the geodesic flow of the Hdiv metric in 2D, which, itself, can be embedded in the incompressible Euler equation of a non compact Riemannian manifold. The method consists in embedding the incompressible Euler equation with a potential term coming fro…

It is well-known that odd-dimensional manifolds have Euler characteristic zero. Furthemore orientable manifolds have an even Euler characteristic unless the dimension is a multiple of 44. We prove here a generalisation of these statements: a kk-orientable manifold (or more generally Poincaré complex) has even Euler c…
