We construct three cohomology classes to compute these. We relate these classes to other classes, the relative Euler class as defined by Sharafutdinov and the secondary Chern-Euler class as defined by Sha. Our results also yield a new proof of the Poincaré-Hopf index theorem.}, number={2}, journal={MATHEMATICA SCANDINAVICA}, author={Hamlet, Oskar}, year={2013}, month={Jun.}, pages={216–224} }
