An extension theorem for Euler characteristics of groups (Q698113)

Several authors have defined the notion of Euler characteristic of a group, for various classes of groups. Taking the definition due to \textit{I. M. Chiswell} [Math. Z. 147, 1-11 (1976; Zbl 0304.20022)], this paper proves that if \(N\) is a normal subgroup of \(G\) and the Euler characteristics of \(N\), \(G\) and \(G/N\) are defined, then they satisfy the multiplicative property \(\mu(G)=\mu(N)\cdot\mu(G/N)\).
