Completeness conjecture for the SnS^n functional

For a stratified nn-manifold (Sn,iSi)(S^n,\bigcup_i S_i), let Sii in I{S_i}_{i\text{ in }I} be transversely intersecting, unoriented PL surfaces, with the stated stratification by their intersections, and suppose every (n+1)(n+1)-fold intersection is empty. If eie_i is the Euler number of SiS_i, define

Z(Sn,iSi)=i=1n21ei4.Z(S^n,\bigcup_i S_i)=\prod_{i=1}^n 2^{1-\frac{e_i}{4}}.

Completeness conjecture for the SnS^n functional. The SnS^n functional ZZ is complete positive and complete finite. The conjecture occurs in the paper's discussion of extending the methods to all dimensions; no resolution is supplied.
