Apr 7, 2014 at 14:19 comment added UserX2017 Sorry, suppose $ H \cap \{g = 0 \} = \{0 \} $. Then consider $ L \cong \mathbb {C} \cong \mathbb {R} ^2 $. Hence, define the topological degree of $ g |_H \circ F |_L $ to be the winding number of $ g|_{H \setminus \{0 \}} \circ F |_{L \setminus \{0 \}}: L \setminus \{0 \} \to \mathbb {C} \setminus \{0 \} $ .

Apr 3, 2014 at 15:03 comment added Alex Degtyarev @FernandoMuro Not any map induces a homomorphism in the homology with compact supports. As stated, the question just doesn't make sense (as the answer brlow points out).
Apr 3, 2014 at 15:01 comment added Liviu Nicolaescu @ Fernando: that still requires a properness assumption. Take the constant map from a vector space to itself. It's not proper and it does not induce morphism between cohomologies with compact supports.
Apr 3, 2014 at 14:46 comment added Fernando Muro @AlexDegtyarev it can be defined as the value of the automorphism induced on $2n$-dimensional cohomology with compact support (or homology with infinity support). In that dimension the aforementioned cohomology is $\mathbb Z$.
