A local combinatorial formula for the Chern class of a triangulated $S^1$ bundle in terms of shellings

Published 24 Aug 2011 in math.AT, math.CO, and math.GT | (1108.4733v3)

Abstract: Here we are fixing an output of a trivial calculation based on Konsevich's differential 2-form for the Chern class of polygon bundle. As a result an interesting combinatorics and arithmetics jumps right out of a jukebox. The calculation gives very simple rational combinatorial characteristics (we call it "curvature") of a triangulated $S1$ bundle over a 2-simplex, which is a local combinatorial formula for the first Chern class. The curvature is expressed in terms of cyclic word in 3-character alphabet associated to the bundle. From the point of view of simplicial combinatorics the word is a canonical shelling of the total complex. If you know a triangulation of a bundle - you can really easily compute the Chern class.
