A note on a local combinatorial formula for the Euler class of a PL spherical fiber bundle (Q2146173)

Local combinatorial formulas for characteristic classes of combinatorial manifolds are not easy to find, due to the properties these manifolds do not have, as e.g. the spherical bundle associated to the tangent bundle. In this very interesting work, the author presents an aggregation local combinatorial formula \(e_{CH}(S)\) for the Euler class of PL \(S^n\)-fiber bundles, for a chain of spherical aggregations, obtained as a Hodge-theoretic matrix homology product which is a matrix formula for the twisting cochain in the bigraded model of PL spherical fiber bundle defined by a local system of aggregations. The author observes that ``this formula and the Levitt curvature should have some mutual relation in the case of combinatorial manifolds'', but it is not easy to find.
