Abstract

The $f$-invariant is a higher version of the $e$-invariant that takes values in the divided congruences between modular forms; in the situation of a cartesian product of two framed manifolds, the $f$-invariant can actually be computed from the $e$-invariants of the factors. The purpose of this note is to determine the $f$-invariant of all such products.
