We use the heat kernel (on differential forms) on a compact Riemannian manifold to assign a real number to a k-tuple of cycles on the manifold satisfying certain conditions. If k is 2, this number is the ordinary topological linking number,…

Let $d\geq 1$ and $\alpha \in (0, 2)$. Consider the following non-local and non-symmetric L\'evy-type operator on $\mR^d$: $$ \sL^\kappa_{\alpha}f(x):=\mbox{p.v.}\int_{\mR^d}(f(x+z)-f(x))\frac{\kappa(x,z)}{|z|^{d+\alpha}} \dif z, $$ where…
