On residue formulas for characteristic numbers
Francisco Gómez Ruiz1 Banach Center Publ. 85 (2009), 187-192
doi:10.4064/bc85-0-13 Abstract: We show that coefficients of
residue formulas for characteristic numbers associated to a smooth
toral action on a manifold can be taken in a quotient field ${\bf
Q}(X_1,\ldots ,X_r).$ This yields canonical identities over the
integers and, reducing modulo two, residue formulas for Stiefel
Whitney numbers.
