In previous work we derived the topological terms in the M-theory action interms of certain characters that we defined. In this paper, we propose theextention of these characters to include the dual fields. The unified treatmentof the M-theory four-form field strength and its dual leads to severalobservations. In particular we elaborate on the possibility of a twistedcohomology theory with a twist given by degrees greater than three.Comment: 12 pages, modified material on the differentia
