The Euler Characteristic of Finite Topological Spaces

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the relationship between the topological property of the Euler characteristic and a combinatorial object, the Möbius function, in the context of finite T0-spaces. To do this I first explain the fundamental connection between such spaces and finite partially ordered sets by proving some facts fundamental to the study of finite spaces. Then I define the ...

The Euler Characteristic

I will describe a few basic properties of the Euler characteristic and then I use them to prove special case of a cute formula due to Bernstein-Khovanskii-Koushnirenko. 1. Basic properties of the Euler characteristic The Euler characteristic is a function χ which associates to each reasonable topological space X an integer χ(X). For us a reasonable space would be a space which admits a finite s...

The Euler characteristic of a polyhedral product

Given a finite simplicial complex L and a collection of pairs of spaces indexed by the vertices of L , one can define the “polyhedral product” of the collection with respect to L . We record a simple formula for its Euler characteristic. In special cases the formula simplifies further to one involving the h-polynomial of L .

A Formula for the Euler Characteristic Of

In this paper we compute the generating function for the Euler characteristic of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of smooth n-pointed genus 2 curves. The proof relies on quite elementary methods , such as the enumeration of the graphs involved in a suitable stratification of M 2,n .
