Isotropy in Group Cohomology

چکیده
The analogue of Lagrangians for symplectic forms over finite groups is studied, motivated by the fact that symplectic G-forms with a normal Lagrangian N⊳G are in one-to-one correspondence, up to inflation, with bijective 1-cocycle data on the quotients G/N . This yields a method to construct groups of central type from such quotients, known as Involutive Yang-Baxter groups. Another motivation for the search of normal Lagrangians comes from a noncommutative generalization of Heisenberg liftings which require normality. Although it is true that symplectic forms over finite nilpotent groups always admit Lagrangians, we exhibit an example where none of these subgroups is normal. However, we prove that symplectic forms over nilpotent groups always admit normal Lagrangians if all their p-Sylow subgroups are of order less than p.

Equivariant Resolution, Cohomology and Index Joint Work with Pierre Albin for Werner Müller’s 60th Birthday
In this talk I describe the resolution to unique isotropy type of the smooth action of a compact Lie group as contained in joint work with Pierre Albin, [2], [3]. The resulting ‘resolution tower’ leads to resolved and reduced models for equivariant cohomology, including the delocalized cohomology of Baum, Brylinski and MacPherson, and K-theory. Combining these constructions with a lifting map g...
متن کاملA Note on the Action of So(3)
For any point xEX, we denote by HXEG the isotropy subgroup of G at xEX. The group G will be a compact Lie group. The space X is assumed to be locally compact, locally connected, finite dimensional and separable metric. We shall use the Alexander-Wallace-Spanier cohomology groups. A subscript c will denote cohomology with compact supports. The coefficient ring J will denote either the integers Z...
متن کاملEquivariant Cohomology and Resolution
The ‘Folk Theorem’ that a smooth action by a compact Lie group can be (canonically) resolved, by iterated blow up, to have unique isotropy type is proved in the context of manifolds with corners. This procedure is shown to capture the simultaneous resolution of all isotropy types in a ‘resolution tower’ which projects to a resolution, with iterated boundary fibration, of the quotient. Equivaria...
متن کاملModule cohomology group of inverse semigroup algebras
Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup and let $E$ be its subsemigroup of idempotents. In this paper we define the $n$-th module cohomology group of Banach algebras and show that the first module cohomology group $HH^1_{ell^1(E)}(ell^1(S),ell^1(S)^{(n)})$ is zero, for every odd $ninmathbb{N}$. Next, for a Clifford semigroup $S$ we show that $HH^2_{ell^1(E)}(ell^1(S),ell^1(S)^{(n)})$ is a Banach sp...
متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
متن کاملSimplicial Cohomology of Orbifolds
For any orbifold M, we explicitly construct a simplicial complex S(M) from a given triangulation of the ‘coarse’ underlying space together with the local isotropy groups of M. We prove that, for any local system on M, this complex S(M) has the same cohomology as M. The use of S(M) in explicit calculations is illustrated in the example of the ‘teardrop’ orbifold.
