The r-spin structure is encoded in terms of ℤ𝑟-valued indices assigned to the edges of a polygonal decomposition. This combinatorial model is designed for our state-sum construction of two-dimensional topological field theories on r-spin surfaces. We show that an example of such a topological field theory computes the Arf-invariant of an r-spin surface as introduced by Randal-Williams [J. Topol. 7, 155 (2014)] and Geiges et al. [Osaka J. Math. 49, 449 (2012)]. This implies, in particular, that the r-spin Arf-invariant is constant on orbits of the mapping class group, providing an alternative proof of that fact."}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09978","open_access":"1"}],"department":[{"_id":"MiLe"}],"issue":"10","publication_status":"published","date_published":"2021-10-01T00:00:00Z","scopus_import":"1","publisher":"AIP Publishing","date_created":"2021-10-24T22:01:32Z","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","oa_version":"Preprint","oa":1,"status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Topological field theory on r-spin surfaces and the Arf-invariant"}
