Orbifold
For a compact topological surface with cone-point orders α1​,…,αk​, the orbifold Euler characteristic is χorb​=χ(underlying surface)−∑i​(1−1/αi​). An orbifold covering multiplies this quantity by its degree.

An orbifold is a generalization of a manifold that allows for certain types of singularities. More formally, an orbifold can be defined as a space that looks locally like a manifold but may have points where the structure of the space is modified by a finite group acting on it.
