Extension formulae on almost complex manifolds studied with applications.

We prove properties of the Schweitzer complex and its cohomologies.

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold, equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a torus $T$. We give an explicit formula for the rational cohomology ring of the symplectic quotient $M//T$ in terms of the cohomology ring of $M$ and fixed point data. Under some restrictions, our formulas apply to integral cohomology. In certain …

We develop homological techniques for finding explicit combinatorial expressions of finite-type cohomology classes of spaces of knots in $R^n, n \ge 3,$ generalizing Polyak--Viro formulas for invariants (i.e. 0-dimensional cohomology classes) of knots in $R^3$. As the first applications we give such formulas for the (r…

We prove a localization formula for group-valued equivariant de Rham cohomology of a compact G-manifold. This formula is a non-trivial generalization of the localization formula of Berline-Vergne and Atiyah-Bott for the usual equivariant de Rham cohomology. As an application, we obtain a version of the Duistermaat-Heck…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $G$ a compact connected Lie group acting on $M$ by isometries. In this paper, we study the equivariant cohomology of ${\bf X}=T^\ast M$, and relate it to the cohomology of the Marsden-Weinstein reduced space via certain residue formulae. In case that $\bf X$ is a compact symplectic mani…

We prove a localization formula for a "holomorphic equivariant cohomology" attached to the Atiyah algebroid of an equivariant holomorphic vector bundle. This generalizes Feng-Ma, Carrell-Liebermann, Baum-Bott and K. Liu's localization formulas.

Study primitive cohomology in symplectic manifolds.

Study on symplectic semi-characteristic using cohomology and vector fields.

The purpose of this paper is to present a ``Cech-De Rham'' model for the cohomology of leaf spaces. This model lends itself to the construction of characteristic classes (in the cohomology of classifying spaces) by explicit geometrical constructions which are immediate extensions of the standard constructions for manif…

We prove a theorem of Leray-Hirsch type and give an explicit blow-up formula for Dolbeault cohomology on (\emph{not necessarily compact}) complex manifolds. We give applications to strongly $q$-complete manifolds and the $\partial\bar{\partial}$-lemma.

In this paper, we give a simple formula for the generating function of genus-2 Gromov-Witten invariants for manifolds with semisimple quantum cohomology, and use this formula to prove the genus-2 Virasoro conjecture for such manifolds.

We derive a wall crossing formula for the symplectic vortex invariants of toric manifolds. As an application, we give a proof of Batyrev's formula for the quantum cohomology of a monotone toric manifold with minimal Chern number at least two.

We introduce notions such as cdp presheaf, cds precosheaf, Mayer-Vietoris system, and investigate their properties. As applications, we study cohomologies with values in local systems on smooth manifolds and Dolbeault cohomologies with values in locally free sheaves on complex manifolds, where the compactness is not ne…

Kunneth formula derived for flat affine manifolds and applied to Hessian metrics.

For an $S^{1}$-manifold with boundary, we prove a localization formula applying to any equivariant cohomology theory satisfying a certain algebraic condition. We show how the localization result of Kalkman and a case of the quantization commutes with reduction theorem follow easily from the localization formula.

Homotopy invariance proven for twisted Lie algebroid cohomologies.

We develop a Chern-Weil theory for compact Lie group action whose generic stabilizers are finite in the framework of equivariant cohomology. This provides a method of changing an equivariant closed form within its cohomological class to a form more suitable to yield localization results. This work is motivated by our w…

We give a cohomological formula for the index of a fully elliptic pseudodifferential operator on a manifold with boundary. As in the classic case of Atiyah-Singer, we use an embedding into an euclidean space to express the index as the integral of a cohomology class depending in this case on a noncommutative symbol, th…

We give an explicit formula for the cohomology of a right angled Artin group with group ring coefficients in terms of the cohomology of its defining flag complex.

We prove a cyclic Lefschetz formula for foliations. To this end, we define a notion of equivariant cyclic cohomology and show that its expected pairing with K-theory is well defined. This enables to associate to any invariant transverse current on a compact foliated manifold, a Lefschetz formula for leafwise preserving…

Formula calculates Seiberg-Witten invariants after surgery.

We give two generalizations of the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne localization theorem for the equivariant cohomology of a torus action: 1) replacing the torus action by a compact connected Lie group action, 2) replacing the manifold having a torus action by an equivariant map. This provides a systematic method for calcula…

Let $G$ be a group that admits a cocompact classifying space for proper actions $X$. We derive a formula for the Bredon cohomological dimension for proper actions of $G$ in terms of the relative cohomology with compact support of certain pairs of subcomplexes of $X$. We use this formula to compute the Bredon cohomologi…

We give definitions of cohomology determinants for compact, connected, orientable 3-manifolds. We also give formulae relating cohomology determinants before and after gluing a solid torus along a torus boundary component. Cohomology determinants are related to Turaev torsion, though the author hopes that they have othe…

We derive a blow-up formula for the de Rham cohomology of a local system of complex vector spaces on a compact complex manifold. As an application, we obtain the blow-up invariance of $E_{1}$-degeneracy of the Hodge-de Rham spectral sequence associated to a local system of complex vector spaces.

Let M be a manifold carrying the action of a Lie group G, and A a Lie algebroid on M equipped with a compatible infinitesimal G-action. Out of these data we construct an equivariant Lie algebroid cohomology and prove for compact G a related localization formula. As an application we prove a Bott-type formula.

Formula for signature of handlebody bundles, interpreting cohomology.

The weight $θ$-sheaf $\underline{\mathbb{R}}_{X,θ}$ helps us to reinterpret Morse-Novikov cohomologies via sheaf theory. We give several theorems of Künneth and Leray-Hirsch types. As applications, we prove that the $θ$-Lefschetz number is independent of $θ$ and calculate the Morse-Novikov cohomologies of projective bu…

Paper constructs Chern character for coherent sheaves.

In 1996, Berline and Vergne gave a cohomological formula for the index of a transversally elliptic operator. In this paper we propose a new point of view where the cohomological formulae make use of equivariant Chern characters with generalized coefficients and with compact suppport. This kind of Chern characters was s…

Given a proper, cocompact action of a Lie groupoid, we define a higher index pairing between invariant elliptic differential operators and smooth groupoid cohomology classes. We prove a cohomological index formula for this pairing by applying the van Est map and algebraic index theory. Finally we discuss in examples th…

We view Dolbeault-Morse-Novikov cohomology H^{p,q}_η(X) as the cohomology of the sheaf Ω_{X,η}^p of η-holomorphic p-forms and give several bimeromorphic invariants. Analogue to Dolbeault cohomology, we establish the Leray-Hirsch theorem and the blow-up formula for Dolbeault-Morse-Novikov cohomology. At last, we conside…

The main result of the present paper is a coincidence formula for foliated manifolds. To prove this we establish Kuenneth formula, Poincare duality and intersection product in the context of tangential de Rham cohomology and homology of tangential currents. We apply the formula to get a dynamical Lefschetz formula for …

Physical proof of Floer homology and Verlinde formula using N=2 gauge theory.

In this paper we prove the knight move theorem for the chromatic graph cohomologies with rational coefficients introduced by L. Helme-Guizon and Y. Rong. Namely, for a connected graph G with n vertices the only non-trivial cohomology groups $H^{i,n-i}(G)$, $H^{i,n-i-1}(G)$ come in isomorphic pairs: $H^{i,n-i}(G)\cong H…

New formula connects Bauer-Furuta and Seiberg-Witten invariants of families of 4-manifolds.

From 1980s, it is an open problem of proposing cohomologic formula for the basic index of a transversally elliptic basic differential operator on a vector bundle over a foliated manifold. In 1990s, El Kacimi-Alaoui has proprosed to use the Molino theory for study this index. Molino has proved that to every transversall…

New deformations of lattice cohomology help calculate knot invariants.

We present a deRham model for Chen-Ruan cohomology ring of abelian orbifolds. We introduce the notion of \emph{twist factors} so that formally the stringy cohomology ring can be defined without going through pseudo-holomorphic orbifold curves. Thus our model can be viewed as the classical description of Chen-Ruan cohom…
