Symplectic cohomologies on phase space
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phase space of a particle or a mechanical system contains an intrinsic symplectic structure, and hence, it is a symplectic manifold. Recently, new invariants for symplectic manifolds in terms of cohomologies of differential forms have been introduced by Tseng and Yau. Here, we discuss the physical motivation behind the new symplectic invariants and analyze these invariants for phase space, i.e., the non-compact cotangent bundle.

Cohomologies and Elliptic Operators on Symplectic Manifolds
In joint work with S.-T. Yau, we construct new cohomologies of differential forms and elliptic operators on symplectic manifolds. Their construction can be described simply following a symplectic decomposition of the exterior derivative operator into two first-order differential operators, which are analogous to the Dolbeault operators in complex geometry. These first-order operators lead to ne...
متن کاملHodge Theory and Symplectic Boundary Conditions
We study symplectic Laplacians on compact symplectic manifolds with boundary. These Laplacians are associated with symplectic cohomologies of differential forms and can be of fourth-order. We introduce several natural boundary conditions on differential forms and use them to establish Hodge theory by proving various form decomposition and also isomorphisms between the symplectic cohomologies an...
متن کاملGeneralized Cohomologies and Supersymmetry
We show that the complex cohomologies of Bott, Chern, and Aeppli and the symplectic cohomologies of Tseng and Yau arise in the context of type II string theory. Specifically, they can be used to count a subset of scalar moduli fields in Minkowski compactification with RR fluxes in the presence of either O5/D5 or O6/D6 brane sources, respectively. Further, we introduce a new set of cohomologies ...
متن کاملCohomology and Hodge Theory on Symplectic Manifolds: I
We introduce new finite-dimensional cohomologies on symplectic manifolds. Each exhibits Lefschetz decomposition and contains a unique harmonic representative within each class. Associated with each cohomology is a primitive cohomology defined purely on the space of primitive forms. We identify the dual currents of lagrangians and more generally coisotropic submanifolds with elements of a primit...
متن کاملThe Space of Local Fields as a Module over the Ring of Local Integrals of Motion
The chiral space of local fields in Sine-Gordon or the SU(2)-invariant Thirring model is studied as a module over the commutative algebra D of local integrals of motion. Using the recent construction of form factors by means of quantum affine algebra at root of unity due to Feigin et al. we construct a D-free resolution of the space of local fields. In general the cohomologies of the de Rham ty...
