TFBCON2003 (Schedule)

Abstract: In our 1993 paper, Banchoff and I gave a proof that concretized a known equation involving characteristic classes of oriented surfaces in 4-space (considered as complex 2-space): the signed count of the complex points on the surface added together with the normal and tangential Euler numbers is zero. The Grassmann manifold G(2,4) and its double-sphere coordinatization were key ingredients. I will review the proof and show images of additional examples.
