A general Lê--Siersma formula
Abstract
We consider the comparison between a Milnor fibre of a function f and its section by the zero locus of a second function s in a general ambient variety 𝒳. We give a formula that generalizes those of Lê and Siersma, expressing the difference of their Euler characteristics as a sum of local contributions associated with the critical points of the restriction of s. We provide an algebraic formula in the case that 𝒳 is {smooth of pure dimension outside f−1(0)}, and show some applications and examples.
