| Dec 30, 2014 at 20:03 | comment | added | Vidit Nanda | @BenWieland The word "stuff" is a placeholder to indicate that there is no consistent notation for the local term. I've even seen cases where people give a completely arbitrary name to the local endomorphisms, e.g., $A_i$ and then write the formula as an alternating sum of $\text{tr}(A_i)$. | |
