Characteristic Topological Invariants
Abstract
The higher characteristics wm(G) for a finite abstract simplicial complex G are topological invariants that satisfy k-point Green function identities and can be computed in terms of Euler characteristic in the case of closed manifolds, where we give a new proof of wm(G)=w1(G). Also the sphere formula generalizes: for any simplicial complex, the total higher characteristics of unit spheres at even dimensional simplices is equal to the total higher characteristic of unit spheres at odd dimensional simplices.
