Abstract

Hexagon relations are algebraic realizations of four-dimensional Pachner moves, and there are hexagon relations admitting nontrivial cohomologies and leading thus to piecewise linear (PL) 4-manifold invariants. We show that some - but not all! - of the known nontrivial cohomologies can be obtained from a single integral bilinear form corresponding to a PL 4-manifold by using a Frobenius homomorphism for a half of `color' variables (or different Frobenius homomorphisms for both halves). This form can be regarded as a sophisticated analogue of the manifold's intersection form.
