Scientific paper

It is well known that for a field theory with the Chern-Simons action,
expectation values of Wilson line operators are topological invariants. The
standard result is expressed in terms of the Gaussian linkings of closed curves
defining the operators. We show how judicious choice of Wilson lines leads to
higher order topological linkings.
