Abstract |
|
Given a closed Riemannian manifold and a pair of multicurves in it, we give a formula relating the linking number of the latter to the spectral theory of the Laplace operator acting on differential 1-forms. As an application, we compute the linking number of any two multigeodesics of the flat torus of dimension 3, generalising a result of P. Dehornoy. |
