Cohomology and Characteristic Classes
We prove Poincar e Duality for L p cohomology, 1 p 1 We study the pairings between L p and L 1 and construct characteristic classes.
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes in Borel Cohomology
Let G be a topological group and let EC be a free contractible G-space. The Bore1 construction on a G-space X is the orbit space Xo = EC x G X. When asked what equivariant cohomology is, most people would answer Bore1 cohomology, namely H:(X) = H*(X,). This theory has the claim of priority and the merit of ready computability, and many very beautiful results have been proven with it. However, i...
متن کاملLocal Vanishing of Characteristic Cohomology
Introduction. To a smooth manifold M one can associate in a natural way a new smooth manifold, the manifold of k-jets of n-dimensional submanifolds of M , indicated by G n (M), which parametrizes in a smooth way the k-jets of immersed submanifolds ofM . OnG n (M) one can build in a canonical way a differential ideal, denoted . The cohomology associated to the complexG n (M)/ (k) is called chara...
متن کاملTangency quantum cohomology and characteristic numbers
This work establishes a connection between gravitational quantum cohomology and enumerative geometry of rational curves (in a projective homogeneous variety) subject to conditions of infinitesimal nature like, for example, tangency. The key concept is that of modified psi classes, which are well suited for enumerative purposes and substitute the tautological psi classes of 2D gravity. The main ...
متن کاملDe Rham Cohomology, Connections, and Characteristic Classes
The de Rham cohomology is a cohomology based on differential forms on a smooth manifold. It uses the exterior derivative as the boundary map to produce cohomology groups consisting of closed forms modulo exact forms. The existence of exact forms reflects ’niceness’ of the topology, in that a potential for closed forms can often be constructed by integrating them over some submanifold, if the ma...
