Cocykle invariants of codimension 2 embeddings of manifolds

We consider the classical problem of a position of n-dimensional manifold Mn in \Kr R n+2.

We show that we can define the fundamental (n+1)-cycle and the shadow fundamental (n+2)-cycle for a fundamental quandle of knotting Mn → \Kr R n+2. In particular, we show that for any fixed quandle, quandle coloring, and shadow quandle coloring of a diagram of Mn embedded in \Kr R n+2 we have (n+1)- and (n+2)-(co)cycle invariants (i.e.invariant under Roseman moves).

The case n=2 is well known. The case n=3 we can explane in a geometric way. The general case we described in arXiv:1310.3030v1 .
