Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of curves

Gilberto Bini, John Harer (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let M g n be the moduli space of n -pointed Riemann surfaces of genus g . Denote by M g n ¯ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of M g n . In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the ordinary Euler characteristic of M g n ¯ for any g and n such that n > 2 - 2 g .

Even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces

Fabrizio Catanese, Fabio Tonoli (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We determine the possible even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces in 3 , showing in particular that their cardinalities are exactly the numbers in the set { 24 , 32 , 40 , 56 } . We also show that all the possible cases admit an explicit description. The methods that we use are an interplay of coding theory and projective geometry on one hand, and of homological and computer algebra on the other. We give a detailed geometric construction for the new case of an even set of 56 nodes, but the ultimate verification of existence...

Examples of functions -extendable for each finite, but not -extendable

Wiesław Pawłucki (1998)

Banach Center Publications

In Example 1, we describe a subset X of the plane and a function on X which has a k -extension to the whole 2 for each finite, but has no -extension to 2 . In Example 2, we construct a similar example of a subanalytic subset of 5 ; much more sophisticated than the first one. The dimensions given here are smallest possible.
