Abstract

The radial index of a 1-form on a singular set is a generalization of the classical Poincaré–Hopf index. We consider different classes of closed singular semi-analytic sets in n that contain 0 in their singular locus and we relate the radial index of a 1-form at 0 on these sets to Poincaré–Hopf indices at 0 of vector fields defined on n.
