Abstract
Abstract Given a vector field on a 3D rational homology sphere, we give a formula for the Euler characteristic of its transverse surfaces, in terms of boundary data only. This provides a formula for the genus of a transverse surface, and in particular, of a Birkhoff section. As an application, we show that for a right-handed flow with an ergodic invariant measure, the genus is an asymptotic invariant of order 2 proportional to helicity.
