The Euler Characteristic is the Unique Locally Determined Numerical Homotopy Invariant of Finite Complexes.
This paper is a continuation of [19], [21], [22]. We study flat connections with isolated singularities in some transitive Lie algebroids for which either or or are isotropy Lie algebras. Under the assumption that the dimension of the isotropy Lie algebra is equal to , where is the dimension of the base manifold, we assign to any such isolated singularity a real number called an index. For -Lie algebroids, this index cannot be an integer. We prove the index theorem (the Euler-Poincaré-Hopf...
We show that a map between complex-analytic manifolds, at least one ofwhich is in the Fujiki class, is a biholomorphism under a natural condition on the second cohomologies. We use this to establish that, with mild restrictions, a certain relation of “domination” introduced by Gromov is in fact a partial order.
By using the Seiberg-Witten invariant we show that the region under the Noether line in the lattice domain is covered by minimal, simply connected, symplectic 4-manifolds.
Using the path lattice cohomology we provide a conceptual topological characterization of the geometric genus for certain complex normal surface singularities with rational homology sphere links, which is uniformly valid for all superisolated and Newton non-degenerate hypersurface singularities.
