چکیده
Let X be a space and write LX for its free loop space equipped with the action of the circle group T given by dilation. We compute the equivariant cohomology H(LXhT;Z/p) as a module over H ∗(BT;Z/p) when X = CP for any positive integer r and any prime number p. The computation implies that the associated mod p Serre spectral sequence collapses from the E3-page. MSC: 55N91; 58E05; 55P35; 18G50

Intersection Spaces, Perverse Sheaves and Type Iib String Theory
The method of intersection spaces associates rational Poincaré complexes to singular stratified spaces. For a conifold transition, the resulting cohomology theory yields the correct count of all present massless 3-branes in type IIB string theory, while intersection cohomology yields the correct count of massless 2-branes in type IIA theory. For complex projective hypersurfaces with an isolated...
متن کاملBranched Coverings and Minimal Free Resolution for Infinite-dimensional Complex Spaces
We consider the vanishing problem for higher cohomology groups on certain infinite-dimensional complex spaces: good branched coverings of suitable projective spaces and subvarieties with a finite free resolution in a projective space P(V ) (e.g. complete intersections or cones over finitedimensional projective spaces). In the former case we obtain the vanishing result for H. In the latter case ...
متن کاملThe Cohomology Algebra of Certain Loop Spaces
The purpose of this paper1 is to determine the cohomology algebra of a loop space over a topological space whose cohomology algebra is a truncated polynomial algebra generated by an element of even degree. As special cases we obtain the well-known results when the base space has as cohomology algebra an exterior algebra (the base space an even dimensional sphere) or a polynomial algebra (the ba...
متن کاملThe Chen-ruan Orbifold Cohomology of Weighted Projective Spaces
Chen and Ruan [6] defined a very interesting cohomology theoryChen-Ruan orbifold cohomology. The primary objective of this paper is to compute the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of the weighted projective spaces, one of the most important space used in physics. The classical tools (orbifold cohomology defined by Chen and Ruan, toric varieties, the localization technique) which have been proved t...
