We discuss the Kretschmann, Chern–Pontryagin and Euler invariants among the second order scalar invariants of the Riemann tensor in any spacetime in the Newman–Penrose formalism and in the framework of gravitoelectromagnetism, using the Kerr–Newman geometry as an example. An analogy with electromagnetic invariants leads to the definition of regions of gravitoelectric or gravitomagnetic dominance.
