The Grassmann-algebraic invariant of 4-dimensional Pachner moves

Let a triangulated 44-manifold with boundary be given. For every inner edge ijij, integrate over the Grassmann-algebra expression obtained by multiplying the weights W~ijklm\tilde{\mathcal W}_{ijklm} over all 4-simplices ijklmijklm, multiplying by an element ww, and integrating over the variables aijkl,bijkla_{ijkl},b_{ijkl} associated with every inner tetrahedron ijklijkl, with denominator ζkl\zeta_{kl}. Let dijkd_{ijk} be the differential operators associated with the inner 2-faces ijkijk, and define

w=(over inner2-faces ijkdijk)11.w=\Biggl( \prod_{\substack{\text{over inner}\\ \text{2-faces }ijk}} d_{ijk} \Biggr)^{-1}1.

remains invariant under moves 333\to3 and 242\leftrightarrow4. This is proposed for systems of deformation parameters satisfying the paper's consistency equations; one stated possibility is to take all such parameters equal to 11. The claim is preliminary because the choice of interesting consistent systems remains open, and the displayed local identities have only partial verification.
