Abstract

In this paper we study the topology of a complex homogeneous space M = G/H of complex dimension n, with non vanishing Euler characteristic and G of type A, D, E by means of a topological invariant φ 2, which is related to the Poincare polynomial of M. We introduce the function Q =φ 2/n and we examine how it varies as one passes from a principal orbit of the adjoint representation of a compact Lie group G to a more singular one. Moreover, it is proved that if M is a principal orbit G/T then Q depends only on the Weyl group of G.
