Natural Transformations from Constructible Functions to Homology
نویسنده
چکیده
For complex projective varieties, all natural transformations from constructible functions to homology (modulo torsion) are linear combinations of the MacPherson-Schwartz-Chern classes. In particular, the total Chern class is the only such natural transformation c such that for all projective spaces P, the top component of c(1P) is the fundamental class of P.

Witt groups of sheaves on topological spaces
This paper investigates the Witt groups of triangulated categories of sheaves (of modules over a ring R in which 2 is invertible) equipped with Poincare-Verdier duality. We consider two main cases, that of perfect complexes of sheaves on locally compact Hausdorff spaces and that of cohomologically constructible complexes of sheaves on polyhedra. We show that the Witt groups of the latter form a...
متن کاملAlgebraically Constructible Functions
An algebraic version of Kashiwara and Schapira's calculus of constructible functions is used to describe local topological properties of real algebraic sets, including Akbulut and King's numerical conditions for a stratiied set of dimension three to be algebraic. These properties, which include generalizations of the invariants modulo 4, 8, and 16 of Coste and Kurdyka, are deened using the link...

This note studies the behavior of Euler characteristics and of intersection homology Euler characterstics under proper morphisms of algebraic (or analytic) varieties. The methods also yield, for algebraic (or analytic) varieties, formulae comparing these two kinds of Euler characteristics. The main results are direct consequences of the calculus of constructible functions and Grothendieck group...
متن کاملAlgebraically Constructible Functions: Real Algebra and Topology
Algebraically constructible functions connect real algebra with the topology of algebraic sets. In this survey we present some history, definitions, properties, and algebraic characterizations of algebraically constructible functions, and a description of local obstructions for a topological space to be homeomorphic to a real algebraic set. More than three decades ago Sullivan proved that the l...
متن کاملSuper- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions from the point of view of approximation
The way super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions are introduced involve suprema and infima taken over simplexes whose dimensions may grow arbitrarily. Exact values of such transformations may thus be hard to determine in general. In this note we discuss methods of algorithmic approximation of such transformations.
