A new class of continuous valuations on the space of convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is introduced. On smooth convex functions, they are defined for $i=0,\dots,n$ by \begin{equation*} u\mapsto \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \zeta(u(x),x,\nabla…

We define the notion of valuation on simplicial maps between geometric realizations of simplicial complexes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Valuations on simplicial maps are analogous to valuations on sets. In particular, we define the Lefschetz…
