0 Ja n 20 06 Transgression forms in dimension 4
We compute explicit transgression forms for the Euler and Pontrjagin classes of a Riemannian manifold M of dimension 4 under a conformal change of the metric, or a change to a Riemannian connection with torsion. These formulae describe the singular set of some connections with singularities on compact manifolds as a residue formula in terms of a polynomial of invariants. We give some applicatio...
متن کاملTransgression forms and extensions of Chern-Simons gauge theories
A gauge invariant action principle, based on the idea of transgression forms, is proposed. The action extends the Chern-Simons form by the addition of a boundary term that makes the action gauge invariant (and not just quasi-invariant). Interpreting the spacetime manifold as cobordant to another one, the duplication of gauge fields in spacetime is avoided. The advantages of this approach are pa...
متن کاملElliptic Genera, Transgression and Loop Space Chern-simons Forms
We compute the Chern-Simons transgressed forms of some modularly invariant characteristic forms, which are related to the elliptic genera. We study the modularity properties of these secondary characteristic forms and the relations among them. We also compute the Chern-Simons forms of some vector bundles over free loop space.
متن کاملTransgression on Hyperkähler Manifolds and Generalized Higher Torsion Forms
Transgression of the characteristic classes taking values in the differential forms is a reach source of the interesting algebraic objects. The examples include Chern-Simons and Bott-Chern forms which are given by the transgression of the Chern character form. Chern-Simons forms are defined for a vector bundle over an arbitrary real manifold and are connected with the representation of combinat...
متن کاملOn extreme forms in dimension 8
A theorem of Voronoi asserts that a lattice is extreme if and only if it is perfect and eutactic. Very recently the classification of the perfect forms in dimension 8 has been completed [5]. There are 10916 perfect lattices. Using methods of linear programming, we are able to identify those that are additionally eutactic. In lower dimensions almost all perfect lattices are also eutactic (for ex...
