Domain-specific

• Orientation character
  • … the nontrivial loop has sign \((-1)^{n+1}\), so the orientation character is trivial when \(n\) is odd and nontrivial when \(n\) is even. to In surgery theory, an orientation character \(w:\pi\to\{\pm1\}\) defines the involution \(g\mapsto w(g)g^{-1}\) on the integral group ring. demonstrates that continuity.
