Torsional Topological Invariants (and their relevance for real life)
The existence of topological invariants analogous to Chern/Pontryagin classes for a standard $SO(D)$ or SU(N) connection, but constructed out of the torsion tensor, is discussed. These invariants exhibit many of the features of the Chern/Pontryagin invariants: they can be expressed as integrals over...
