Abstract
The structure of invariants of the scattering transformation in (relativistic and nonrelativistic) classical mechanics and quantum theory is investigated and a constructive approach to finding and classifying them by exploiting and developing certain differential topological methods is provided. While, in the form of various by-products, results about the perhaps better known so-called additive scattering invariants are (re)derived, the primary concern here is with the less well-known nonadditive (i.e., several particle) conserved quantities.
