3 Topology was first a dream of Leibniz I am s'll not sa'sfied with algebra, in that it yields neither the shortest proofs nor the most beau'ful construc'ons of geometry. Consequently, in view of this, I consider that we need yet another kind of analysis, geometric or linear, which deals directly with posi'on, as algebra deals with magnitude. Leibniz s leder to Huygens, September 8, 1679.

5 Seven bridges of Königsberg Ehler introduced the following famous problem to Euler: Is there a route which crosses every bridges once and only once? Euler s nega-ve solu-on to the problem gave birth to both graph theory and topology. Photo credit: Wikipedia.
6 Euler formula for regular polyhedra Euler also gave us the first topological invariant, the Euler characteris-c. = E V + F E : = number of edges V := number of ver-ces F := number of faces
7 Euler-Poincaré characteris-c Given a smooth manifold M, its Euler-Poincaré characteris-c is a topological invariant given by the alterna-ng sum of BeZ numbers: (M) := ( 1) n n i is the i-th Betti number of M
8 Gauss-Bonnet Theorem The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem expresses the Euler characteris-c Of a manifold by its curvature: Z KdM=2 (M) It relates a differen-al geometric invariant with a tological one.
9 Gauss-Bonnet-Chern The Euler characteris-c is the degree of the total Chern class (in homology): (Y )= Z Y c(y ).
10 Batyrev s theorem Two varie-es over the complex numbers related by a crepant bira-onal have the same BeZ numbers. This is par-cularly true when the two varie-es are crepant resolu-ons of the same underlying singular variety!
11 Applica-ons to ellip-c fibra-ons Ellip-c surfaces were studied by Kodaira and Néron who classified their singular fibers. Tate s developed an algorithm to compute the type of singular fibers of an ellip-c surface. An ellip-c fibra-on over a smooth base is bira-onal to a (possibly singular) Weierstrass model.
12 Applica-ons to ellip-c fibra-ons Not all singular Weierstrass models have a crepant resolu-on. When a Weierstrass model has a crepant resolu-on, it is not necessary unique. Different crepant resolu-ons of the same Weierstrass model are connected by a finite sequence of flops.

16 It is possible to compute Euler characteris-c of crepant resolu-ons of ellip-c fibra-ons by the method of pushforward which allows to express the topological invariants by using only data from the base of the ellip-c fibra-on. The method of pushforward is a basic construc-on in intersec-on theory. The degree is invariant under pushforward Z Z Y c(y )= B f c(y ) Where f is a morphism from Y to B.
17 Theorem. Consider a projec-ve bundle over B : X 0 = P[O B L 2 L 3 ]! B L where is a line bundle over B. Let Q(t) be a formal power series in t with coefficients In the pullback of the Chow ring of B in the projec-ve bundle: Q(H) = 2 Q(H) H 2 H= 2L +3 Q(H) H 2 H= 3L + Q(0) 6L 2, where L = c 1 (L ) and H = c 1 (O(1)) is the first Chern class of the dual of the tautological line bundle of X 0.
18 Euler characteris-c of a smooth Weierstrass model. Theorem (Aluffi-ME). The Euler characteris-c of a smooth Weierstrass model Y over a base B is (Y )= Z B 12L 1+6L c(tb) Where L is the first Chern class of the fundamental line bundle of the Weierstrass model and c(tb) is the total Chern class of the base B.
19 Euler characteris-c of a smooth Weierstrass model. Arer an explicit expansion (Y )= Z B 12L 1+6L c(tb) becomes (Y )= 2 dx ( 6L) i c d i (TB) i=1 where c i (TB)isthei-th Chern class of the tangent bundle of B.

22 New Pushforward Theorem Theorem (ME, Kang, Jefferson). Let E be the class be the excep-onal divisor of the blowup f : X e! X of the complete intersec-on of d varie-es Z i Then we have the following pushforward: f Q(E) = dx `=1 Q(Z`)M`, where M` = Y m6=` Z m Z m Z`.
