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 $\mathcal{X}$. 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 $\mathcal{X}$ is {smooth of pure dimension outside $f^{-1}(0)$}, and show some applications and examples.
