Topological invariants of some chemical reaction networks

Abstract

This is a revision and extension of earlier joint work [25] with N Kitchloo, tentatively attempting to apply ideas of Baker and Richter [7,8] to the cobordism theory of (quasi-Hamiltonian symplectic) toric manifolds [1,2]. Some possible applications to the statistical mechanics [16,37] of chemical reaction networks [12,18,21,. . . ] and their associated toric varieties are proposed.
