Abstract
We introduce a graphical representation for a global SO(n) tensor , which generally appears in the perturbative approach of gravity around the flat space: . We systematically construct global SO(n) invariants. Independence and completeness of those invariants are shown by taking examples of -, and - invariants. They are classified graphically. Indices which characterize all independent invariants (or graphs) are given. We apply the results to general invariants with dimension and the Gauss-Bonnet identity in 4-dim gravity.
