A Property That Characterizes Euler Characteristic among Invariants of Combinatorial Manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
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 invariant of this type.

Localizable Invariants of Closed Combinatorial Manifolds and Euler Characteristic
If a real value invariant of closed combinatorial manifolds admits a local formula that depends only on the f -vector of the link of each vertex, then the invariant must be proportional to the Euler characteristic.
متن کاملUnusual Formulae for the Euler Characteristic
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 characteristic. Theorem [Pachner 1987, [3]]. Two closed combinatorial n-manifolds are PLho...
متن کامل“ L 2 - torsion and 3 - manifolds ” by Wolfgang Lück
We introduce for a finite CW -complex whose L2-Betti numbers are all trivial and whose Novikov-Shubin invariants are all positive a positive real number called combinatorial L2-torsion. It behaves like a “multiplicative Euler characteristic”. Tools for the computations of L2-Betti numbers, Novikov-Shubin invariants, Fuglede-Kadison determinant and combinatorial L2-torsion are given. For example...
متن کاملTorsion Invariants of Combed 3-Manifolds with Boundary Pattern and Legendrian Links
We extend Turaev’s definition of torsion invariants of 3-dimensional manifolds equipped with non-singular vector fields, by allowing (suitable) tangency circles to the boundary, and manifolds with non-zero Euler characteristic. We show that these invariants apply in particular to (the exterior of) Legendrian links in contact 3-manifolds. Our approach uses a combinatorial encoding of vector fiel...
متن کاملDegree-regular triangulations of torus and Klein bottle
A combinatorial 2-manifold is called weakly regular if the action of its automorphism group on its vertices is transitive. A combinatorial 2-manifold is called degree-regular if each of its vertices have the same degree. Clearly, a weakly regular combinatorial 2-manifold is degree-regular. In [5], Lutz has classified all the weakly-regular combinatorial 2-manifolds on at most 15 vertices, among...
