چکیده
Let Γ be a finite group acting linearly on a vector space V . We compute the Lie algebra cohomology of the Lie algebra of Γ-invariant formal vector fields on V . We use this computation to define characteristic classes for foliations on orbifolds.

For a closed symplectic manifold (M,ω), a compatible almost complex structure J , a 1-periodic time dependent symplectic vector field Z and a homotopy class of closed curves γ we define a Floer complex based on 1-periodic trajectories of Z in the homotopy class γ. We suppose that the closed 1-form iZtω represents a cohomology class β(Z) := β, independent of t. We show how to associate to (M,ω, ...
متن کاملGodbillon-vey Invariants for Families of Foliations
The classical Godbillon-Vey invariant is an odd degree cohomology class that is a cobordism invariant of a single foliation. Here we investigate cohomology classes of even degree that are cobordism invariants of (germs of) 1-parameter families of foliations. In this paper we study an analogue of the classical Godbillon-Vey invariant [6] that is an invariant not of a single foliation but of a fa...
متن کاملGelfand-Fuchs cohomology and M-Theory as a Topological Quantum Field Theory
We propose a Lagrangian density for M-Theory which is purely topological using Gelfand-Fuchs cohomology which characterises up to homotopy Γq-structures and hence foliations in particular. Then, using a physical principle and S-duality, we conjecture on the existence of certain plane fields on S. PACS classification: 11.10.-z; 11.15.-q; 11.30.-Ly
متن کاملExplicit Formulae for Cocycles of Holomorphic Vector Fields with values in λ Densities
The continuous cohomology of Lie algebras of C-vector fields has been studied by I. M. Gelfand, D. B. Fuks, R. Bott, A. Haefliger and G. Segal in some outstanding papers [4], [9], [1]. B. L. Feigin [2] and N. Kawazumi [11], whose work is continued in [18], studied Gelfand-Fuks cohomology of Lie algebras of holomorphic vector fields Hol(Σ) on an open Riemann surface. Kawazumi calculated the coho...
متن کاملA Two Dimensional Analogue of the Virasoro Algebra
In this article, we study the cohomology of Lie algebras of vector fields of holomorphic type V ect1,0(M) on a complex manifold M . The main result is the introduction of a kind of order filtration on the continuous cochains on V ect1,0(M) and the calculation of the second term of the resulting spectral sequence. The filtration is very much in the spirit of the classical order filtration of Gel...
