Abstract

This is the second in a series of papers where we construct an invariant of a four-dimensional piecewise linear manifold $M$ with a given middle cohomology class $h\in H^2(M,\mathbb C)$. This invariant is the square root of the torsion of unusual chain complex introduced in Part I (arXiv:1605.06498) of our work, multiplied by a correcting factor. Here we find this factor by studying the behavior of our construction under all four-dimensional Pachner moves, and show that it can be represented in a multiplicative form: a product of same-type multipliers over all 2-faces, multiplied by a product of same-type multipliers over all pentachora.<br />Comment: 20 pages. v2: two of three Experimental Results now proven, and many small improvements
