Rational Euler Characteristics

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Let ℒ be the class of discrete groups G which admit a finite complex X as classifying space. On ℒ we may define the Euler characteristic χ( G ) = χ( X ); that this is independent of X follows from the homological interpretation of characteristics.
