Abstract: Tensor models are used nowadays for implementing a fundamental theory of quantum gravity. We define here a polynomial mathcalT encoding the supplementary topological information. This polynomial is a natural generalization of the Bollob'as-Riordan polynomial (used to characterize matrix graphs) and is different of the Guruau polynomial, (R. Guruau, "Topological Graph Polynomials in Colored Group Field Theory", Annales Henri Poincare {�f 11}, 565-584 (2010)) defined for a particular class of tensor graphs, the colorable ones. The polynomial mathcalT is defined for both colorable and non-colorable graphs and it is proved to satisfy the contraction/deletion relation. A non-trivial example of a non-colorable graphs is analyzed.
