A formula for the Euler characteristic of $\overline{{\cal M}}_{2,n}$
2001
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 \(\overline{{\cal M}}_{2,n}\).
Euler Characteristics of Moduli Spaces of Curves
2005
Let ${mathcal M}_g^n$ be the moduli space of n-pointed Riemann surfaces of genus g. Denote by ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_g^n$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of ${mathcal M}_g^n$. In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the ordinary Euler characteristic of ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_g^n$ for any g and n such that n>2-2g.
An unbounded family of log Calabi–Yau pairs
2016
We give an explicit example of log Calabi-Yau pairs that are log canonical and have a linearly decreasing Euler characteristic. This is constructed in terms of a degree two covering of a sequence of blow ups of three dimensional projective bundles over the Segre-Hirzebruch surfaces ${\mathbb F}_n$ for every positive integer $n$ big enough.
Embeddings of graph braid and surface groups in right-angled Artin groups and braid groups
2003
We prove by explicit construction that graph braid groups and most surface groups can be embedded in a natural way in right-angled Artin groups, and we point out some consequences of these embedding results. We also show that every right-angled Artin group can be embedded in a pure surface braid group. On the other hand, by generalising to right-angled Artin groups a result of Lyndon for free groups, we show that the Euler characteristic -1 surface group (given by the relation x^2y^2=z^2) never embeds in a right-angled Artin group.
Saddle index properties, singular topology, and its relation to thermodynamic singularities for aϕ4mean-field model
2004
We investigate the potential energy surface of a ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{4}$ model with infinite range interactions. All stationary points can be uniquely characterized by three real numbers ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{+},{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{0},{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\ensuremath{-}}$ with ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{+}+{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{0}+{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\ensuremath{-}}=1$, provided that the interaction strength $\ensuremath{\mu}$ is smaller than a critical value. The saddle index ${n}_{s}$ is equal to ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{0}$ and its distribution function has a maximum at ${n}_{s}^{\mathrm{max}}=1∕3$. The density $p(e)$ of stationary points with energy per particle $e$, as well as…
Champs de vecteurs analytiques commutants, en dimension 3 ou 4: existence de zeros communs
1992
One proves the existence of a common zero for any two ℝ-analytic commuting vector fields on a 4-dimensional manifold with not zero Euler characteristic. A local version of this result remains true on 3-manifolds.
