On Gelfand and MacPherson's combinatorial formula for Pontrjagin classes

Year: 2022

Type: preprint

Abstract: In 1992 Gelfand and MacPherson gave a local and combinatorial formula for the Pontrjagin classes of a differential manifold. We give an expanded version of their discussion and highlight the origins of combinatorial differential manifolds in their work.
