Residue theorem for secondary invariants of collapsed Riemannian manifolds

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6921838
An F-structure is essentially a collection of commutative local Killing vector fields. For a (4k-1)-dimensional manifold N with a nonsingular F-structure F, its secondary invariants are defined and proved to be topological invariants of the pair (N,F). Bott's residue theorem to the case of an F-structure is generalized. The generalized residue theorem is then applied in the calculations of the secondary invariants of the pair (N,F).
