Symplectic semi-characteristics
Abstract
We study the symplectic semi-characteristic of a closed 4n-dimensional symplectic manifold. First, using the even-degree part of the primitive cohomology, we define the symplectic semi-characteristic. Second, using a vector field with nondegenerate zero points, we prove a counting formula for the symplectic semicharacteristic. As corollaries of the counting formula, we obtain a vanishing property and the fact that the definition of the symplectic semi-characteristic is independent of the choices of symplectic forms.
