Introduction. The topological Euler characteristic Z is multiplicative, i.e., z(X x Y) z(X)z(Y). For a manifold X, a generalization of z(X) to higher dimensional cohomology classes is the Chern cohomology class c*(X), which satisfies the cross-product formula c*(X x Y)= c*(X) x c*(Y). For a (possibly singular) compact complex algebraic variety X, a generalization of z(X) to higher dimensional homology classes is the Schwartz-MacPherson homology class c,(X), which in the smooth case is just the Poincar dual of the usual Chern cohomology class c*(X) and the 0-th component of which is equal to Z (X)[1, 4, 5]. Very recently, in connection with lifting Schwartz-MacPherson classes to intersection homology [2], the first author [3] proved the product formula for Schwartz-MacPherson classes, i.e., c,(X x Y) c,(X) x c,(Y). The second author [6, 71 defined the "twisted" MacPherson class ct,(X), which includes SchwartzMacPherson class c,(X) as a special case, i.e., cl,(X) c,(X). The 0-th component of ct,(X) is the "stratified weighted" Euler characteristic Z.t(X), which is a degree-dimX polynomial of t, involves Euler characteristic of sigularities also and equals to z(X) when t 1. In [7] the second author showed the multiplicativity of Z t, i.e., xt(X x Y)= zt(X)zt(Y). In this note, by strengthening and modifying the proof of [3] we show the product formula ct,(X x Y) ct,(X) x ct,(Y), thus the product formulae c,(X x Y) c,(X) x c,(Y) and zt(X x Y) .t(X).t(Y) follow as special cases. More generally we show a product formula for the transformation ct, acting on constructible functions with polynomial coefficients (Theorem 4). 1. Preliminaries. The varieties we consider are all (possibly singular) compact complex algebraic varieties. Let F be the constructible function covariant functor, where F(X) is the abelian group freely generated by characteristic functions 1w for subvarieties W of X. For a morphism f:X --* Y the pushforward f, F (X) -F (Y) is defined by (f,lw) (Y) z(f-(y) f W). Let H,(;Z) be the usual Z-homology covariant functor. Deligne and Grothendieck conjectured and MacPherson [3] proved that there exists a unique natural transformation c, F--* H,(;Z) satisfying the extra condition that c,(lx)= c*(X) f X] for any smooth X. To construct the transformation c,, MacPherson first observes that F(X) is also freely
