Computing Euler characteristics using quantum field theory
Abstract
This paper explains how to use quantum field theory techniques to find formal power series that encode the virtual Euler characteristics of Out(Fn) and related graph complexes. Finding such power series was a necessary step in the asymptotic analysis of (Out(Fn)) carried out in the authors' previous paper.
