Extends Euler class result to symplectic group.

The paper derives a local formula for the Euler number of circle bundles.

A rational linear combination of Chern numbers is an oriented diffeomorphism invariant of smooth complex projective varieties if and only if it is a linear combination of the Euler and Pontryagin numbers.

Everyone knows that the Euler characteristic of a combinatorial manifold is given by the alternating sum of its numbers of simplices. It is shown that there are other linear combinations of the numbers of simplices which are combinatorial invariants, but that all such invariants are multiples of the Euler characteristi…

The paper proves a criterion for virtual Euler class one in hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

We use some basic properties of binomial and Stirling numbers to prove that the Euler characteristic is, essentially, the unique numerical topological invariant for compact polyhedra which can be expressed as a linear combination of the numbers of faces of triangulations. We obtain this result converting it into an eig…

In the note, we give a proof, based on the Generalized Thom Conjecture, of Bennequin's Theorem on upper bound for the Euler number of a link which is considered as a closed braid. A lower bound for the Euler number of a link is also given.

We show how in many cases the algebraic number of immersed hyperspheres of constant (and prescribed) curvature may be related to the Euler Characteristic of the ambient space.

If a real value invariant of compact combinatorial manifolds (with or without boundary) depends only on the number of simplices in each dimension on the manifold, then the invariant is completely determined by Euler characteristics of the manifold and its boundary. So essentially, Euler characteristic is the unique inv…

We discuss analogies between number theory and the theory of dynamical systems on spaces with a one-codimensional foliation. The emphasis is on comparing the "explicit formulas" of analytic number theory with certain dynamical Lefschetz trace formulas. We also point out a possible relation between an Arakelov-Euler cha…

We introduce the $Γ$-Euler-Satake characteristics of a general orbifold $Q$ presented by an orbifold groupoid $\mathcal{G}$, generalizing to orbifolds that are not necessarily global quotients the generalized orbifold Euler characteristics of Bryan-Fulman and Tamanoi. Each of these Euler characteristics is defined as t…

We show that when the genus and punctures of a surface are directly proportional by some rational number the minimal asymptotic translation length in the curve complex has behavior inverse to the square of the Euler characteristic. We also show that when the genus is fixed and the number of punctures varies the behavio…

Let $M^n$ be a compact K$\ddot{a}$hler manifold with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and nonzero first Betti number. We show that the holomorphic Euler number of $M^n$ vanishes, which gives a new obstruction for compact complex manifolds admitting K$\ddot{a}$hler metrics with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature. A cr…

In this note, we prove that if a compact even dimensional manifold $M^{n}$ with negative sectional curvature is homotopic to some compact space-like manifold $N^{n}$, then the Euler characteristic number of $M^{n}$ satisfies $(-1)^{\frac{n}{2}}χ(M^{n})>0$. We also show that the minimal volume conjecture of Gromov is tr…

For M and N closed oriented connected smooth manifolds of the same dimension, we consider the mapping space Map(M,N;f) of continuous maps homotopic to f:M--> N.We show that the evaluation map from the space of maps to the manifold N induces a nontrivial homomorphism on the fundamental group only if the self coincidence…

Let $M$ be a compact 3-manifold with a triangulation $τ$. We give an inequality relating the Euler characteristic of a surface $F$ normally embedded in $M$ with the number of normal quadrilaterals in $F$. This gives a relation between a topological invariant of the surface and a quantity derived from its combinatorial …

As for the theory of maximal representations, we introduce the volume of a Zimmer's cocycle $Γ\times X \rightarrow \mbox{PO}^\circ(n, 1)$, where $Γ$ is a torsion-free (non-)uniform lattice in $\mbox{PO}^\circ(n, 1)$, with $n \geq 3$, and $X$ is a suitable standard Borel probability $Γ$-space. Our numerical invariant ex…

In particular, the expected Euler characteristic of such random real projective…

Let $M^{2n}$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of non-positive (resp. negative) sectional curvature. We call $(M,J,θ)$ a $d$(bounded) locally conformally Kähler manifold if the lifted Lee form $\tildeθ$ on the universal covering space of $M$ is $d$(bounded). We shown that if $M^{2n}$ is homeomorphic to a $d$(bounded) LC…
