Euler characteristic of an orbifold

In differential geometry, the Euler characteristic of an orbifold, or orbifold Euler characteristic, is a generalization of the topological Euler characteristic that includes contributions coming from nontrivial automorphisms. In particular, unlike a topological Euler characteristic, it is not restricted to integer values and is in general a rational number. It is of interest in mathematical physics, specifically in string theory. Given a compact manifold quotiented by a finite group , the Euler characteristic of is where is the order of the group , the sum runs over all pairs of commuting elements of , and is the set of simultaneous fixed points of and . If the action is free, the sum has only a single term, and so this expression reduces to the topological Euler characteristic of divided by . (Wikipedia).

The Euler Characteristic

I explore the Euler Characteristic, and prove that it is equal to 2 for any convex polyhedra. I also discuss some cases when it is not equal to 2. FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/MathProfPierce Twitter: https://twitter.com/MathProfPierce TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@professorheather

Topology | Math History | NJ Wildberger

This video gives a brief introduction to Topology. The subject goes back to Euler (as do so many things in modern mathematics) with his discovery of the Euler characteristic of a polyhedron, although arguably Descartes had found something close to this in his analysis of curvature of a pol
