Differential Equations, Spencer Cohomology, and Computing Resolutions
We propose a new point of view of the Spencer cohomology appearing in the formal theory of differential equations based on a dual approach via comodules. It allows us to relate the Spencer cohomology with standard constructions in homological algebra and, in particular, to express it as a Cotor. We discuss concrete methods for its construction based on homological perturbation theory. Appears i...
متن کاملSpencer δ-cohomology, restrictions, characteristics and involutive symbolic PDEs
We generalize the notion of involutivity to systems of differential equations of different orders and show that the classical results relating involutivity, restrictions, characteristics and characteristicity, known for first order systems, extend to the general context. This involves, in particular, a new definition of strong characteristicity. The proof exploits a spectral sequence relating S...
متن کاملSecondary Kodaira-Spencer classes and nonabelian Dol- beault cohomology
The Kodaira-Spencer map is a component of the connection ∇. In particular, this implies that if κs 6= 0 then the connection∇ is nontrivial with respect to the Hodge decomposition. Various Hodge-theory facts imply that the global monodromy must be nontrivial in this case. We can be a bit more precise: if u ∈ V p,q is a vector such that κs(v)(u) 6= 0 for some tangent vector v ∈ T (S)s, then u can...
متن کاملGeneralized Spencer Cohomology and Filtered Deformations of Z - graded Lie
In this paper we introduce generalized Spencer cohomology for finite depth Z-graded Lie (super)algebras. We develop a method of finding filtered deformations of such Z-graded Lie (super)algebras based on t his co-homology. As an application we determine all simple filtered deformations of certain Z-graded Lie superalgebras classified in [K3], thus completing the last step in the classification ...
متن کاملD=11 Supergravity Revisited
I discuss two novel results in D=11 Supergravity. The first establishes, in two complementary ways, a no-go theorem that, in contrast to all D<11, a cosmological extension of the theory does not exist. The second deals with the structure of (on-shell) four-point invariants. These are important both for establishing existence of the lowest (2-loop) order candidate counter-terms in the theory pro...
