Abstract: Let $M^m$ be an oriented manifold, let $N^{m-1}$ be an oriented closed manifold, and let $p$ be a point in $M^m$. For a smooth map $f:N^{m-1}o{M}^m,potinImf,$ we introduce an invariant $awi{n}_p(f)$ that can be regarded as a generalization of the classical winding number of a planar curve around a point. We show that $awi{n}_p$ estimates from below the number of times a wave front on $M$ passed through a given point $pinM$ between two moments of time. Invariant $awi{n}_p$ allows us to formulate the analogue of the complex analysis Cauchy integral formula for meromorphic functions on complex surfaces of genus bigger than one.
