Related Topological Invariants
The minimal volume invariant is connected to other topological invariants in a fundamental way; via Chern-Weil theory, there are many topological invariants which can be described by integrating polynomials in the curvature over . In particular, the Chern classes and Pontryagin classes are bounded above by the minimal volume.
