Is Euler characteristic of a simplicial complex upper bounded by a polynomial in the number of its facets ?
What is the best upper bound known on the (absolute value of) the
Euler characteristic of a simplicial complex
in terms of the number of its facets ?
In particular, I am interested in proving or ...

Is the Euler characteristic of aspherical connected 2-complexes at most 1? (No!) What can be said about subcomplexes of 2-complexes deformation retractible onto graphs.
I have several related questions, i do not know which one is more important to me, i think it would depend on their answers.
Is it true that the Euler characteristic of a finite connected aspherical ...

Is Euler-characteristic of a simplicial complex on $n$ vertices and $f$ facets at most $n^{O(\log f)}$?
(Definition: Facet = Maximal Face)
This question is a continuation of the previous one that I had asked a couple of years ago: Is Euler characteristic of a simplicial complex upper bounded by a ...

Euler characteristic of pseudomanifolds with boundary
It is a well-known fact that for every compact oriented odd-dimensional manifold $\mathcal{M}$ with boundary it holds that
$$\chi(\mathcal{M})=\frac{1}{2}\chi(\partial\mathcal{M}).$$
In particular, if ...

Partial sums of Möbius function and Euler characteristic of a simplicial complex for closed sets of a topology on the prime powers?
In A cell complex in number theory by Anders Björner, 2011 a number theoretic cell complex is described which has the property that the Euler characteristic is related to the Mertens function:
$$M(n) =...
