We compute the compactly supported Euler characteristic of the space of degree $d$ irreducible polynomials in $n$ variables with real coefficients and show that the values are given by the digits in the so-called balanced binary expansion of the number of variables $n$.

The Euler characteristic of a semialgebraic set can be considered as a generalization of the cardinality of a finite set. An advantage of semialgebraic sets is that we can define negative sets to be the sets with negative Euler characteristics. Applying this idea to posets, we introduce the notion of semialgebraic posets. Using negative posets, we establish Stanleys reciprocity theorems for order polynomials at the level of Euler characteristics. We also formulate the Euler characteristic reciprocities for chromatic and flow polynomials.
Baez asks whether the Euler characteristic (defined for spaces with finite homology) can be reconciled with the homotopy cardinality (defined for spaces with finite homotopy). We consider the smallest infinity category $text{Top}^text{rx}$ containing both these classes of spaces and closed under homotopy pushout squares. In our main result, we compute the K-theory $K_0(text{Top}^text{rx})$, which is freely generated by equivalence classes of connected p-finite spaces, as p ranges over all primes. This provides a negative answer to Baezs question globally, but a positive answer when we restrict attention to a prime.
A well-known question by Gromov asks whether the vanishing of the simplicial volume of oriented closed connected aspherical manifolds implies the vanishing of the Euler characteristic. We study vario
We investigate the delicate interplay between the types of singular fibers in elliptic fibrations of Calabi-Yau threefolds (used to formulate F-theory) and the matter representation of the associated Lie algebra. The main tool is the analysis and the appropriate interpretation of the anomaly formula for six-dimensional supersymmetric theories. We find that this anomaly formula is geometrically captured by a relation among codimension two cycles on the base of the elliptic fibration, and that this relation holds for elliptic fibrations of any dimension. We introduce a Tate cycle which efficiently describes this relationship, and which is remarkably easy to calculate explicitly from the Weierstrass equation of the fibration. We check the anomaly cancellation formula in a number of situations and show how this formula constrains the geometry (and in particular the Euler characteristic) of the Calabi-Yau threefold.
We resolve two long-standing and closely related problems concerning stably free $mathbb{Z} G$-modules and the homotopy type of finite 2-complexes. In particular, for all $k ge 1$, we show that there exists a group $G$ and a non-free stably free $mathbb{Z} G$-module of rank $k$. We use this to show that, for all $k ge 0$, there exists homotopically distinct finite 2-complexes with fundamental group $G$ and with Euler characteristic $k$ greater than the minimal value over $G$. This provides a solution to Problem D5 in the 1979 Problems List of C. T. C. Wall.
