We deduce as special cases algebro-geometric and arithmetic refinements of topological computations of Segal, Cohen--Cohen--Mann--Milgram, Vassiliev and others.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-06-08T22:12:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rational maps", "resultants", "special cases algebro-geometric", "arithmetic refinements", "point counts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150602713F" } } }
