چکیده
The singular cochain complex of a topological space is a classical object. It is a Differential Graded algebra which has been studied intensively with a range of methods, not least within rational homotopy theory. More recently, the tools of Auslander-Reiten theory have also been applied to the singular cochain complex. One of the highlights is that by these methods, each Poincaré duality space gives rise to a Calabi-Yau category. This paper is a review of the theory. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000).

We develop a method, initially due to Salamon, to compute the space of " invariant " forms on an associated bundle X = P ×G V , with a suitable notion of invariance. We determine sufficient conditions for this space to be d-closed. We apply our method to the construction of Calabi-Yau metrics on T CP 1 and T CP 2 .

We prove two kinds of fibering theorems for maps X → P , where X and P are Poincaré spaces. The special case of P = S yields a Poincaré duality analogue of the fibering theorem of Browder and Levine.

The purpose of this article is to review some recent results on the geometry of neutral signature metrics in dimension four and their twistor spaces. The following topics are considered: Neutral Kähler and hyperkähler surfaces, Walker metrics, Neutral anti-self-dual 4-manifolds and projective structures, Twistor spaces of neutral metrics.
