Abstract | |
In this work, we study different constructions and properties of the characteristics classes of smooth and singular manifolds. To ilustrate the theory, we compute the Euler obstructions of some singular surfaces in tridimensional space and state a Poincaré-Hopf´s formula for singular varieties (AU) |
