Abstract

We described an algebraic intersection operation for measured laminations carried by a codimension-1 branched manifold embedded in a manifold. Using this operation we define real-valued intersection forms and obtain formulas for their values in terms of invariant measures on the branched manifolds. Finally, we use the intersection operation to define a multiple-valued intersection “operation” for isotopy classes of incompressible surfaces in a Haken manifold.
