Abstract.
We give explicit MacPherson cycles for the Chern-MacPherson class of a closed affine algebraic variety $X$ and for any constructible function $\alpha$ with respect to a complex algebraic Whitney stratification of $X$.
We define generalized degrees of the global polar varieties and of the MacPherson cycles and we prove a global index formula for the Euler characteristic of $\alpha$. Whenever $\alpha$ is the Euler obstruction of $X$, this index formula specializes to the Seade-Tibăr-Verjovsky global counterpart of the Lê-Teissier formula for the local Euler obstruction.
