We prove that a compact log symplectic manifold has a class in the second cohomology group whose powers, except maybe for the top, are nontrivial. This result gives cohomological obstructions for the existence of b-log symplectic structures similar to those in symplectic geometry.

We construct an obstruction for the existence of embeddings of homology $3$-sphere into homology $S^3\times S^1$ under some cohomological condition. The obstruction is defined as an element in the filtered version of the instanton Floer cohomology due to R.Fintushel-R.Stern. We make use of the $\mathbb{Z}$-fold coverin…

In this paper, we continue the study of the existence problem of compact Clifford-Klein forms from a cohomological point of view, which was initiated by Kobayashi-Ono and extended by Benoist-Labourie and the author. We give an obstruction to the existence of compact Clifford-Klein forms by relating a natural homomorphi…

The technique of generating families produces obstructions to the existence of embedded Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds in the symplectizations of 1-jet bundles. In fact, generating families may be used to construct a TQFT-like theory that, in addition to giving the aforementioned obstructions, yi…

Odaka and Wang proved the intersection formula for the Donaldson-Futaki invariant. In this paper, we generalize this result for the higher Futaki invariants which are obstructions to asymptotic Chow semistability.

Study on deformation cohomology for braided commutative structures.

We propose a produre of reduction a locally conformal symplectic structure. This procedure of reduction can be applied to wide class of submanifolds. There are no local obstructions for this procedure. But there are global obstructions. We find a necessary and sufficient condition when this reduction holds in terms of …

This paper develops a cohomological hierarchy for bistable visual paradoxes.

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold, consider a small deformation $φ: \mathcal{X} \to B$ of $X$, the dimensions of the cohomology groups of tangent sheaf $H^q(X_t,\mathcal{T}_{X_t})$ may vary under this deformation. This paper will study such phenomenons by studying the obstructions to deform a class in $H^q(X,\mathc…

Non-trivial obstructions found for topological solitons in Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories.

We compute the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology ring of the Batyrev mirror orbifold of a smooth quintic hypersurface in 4-dimensional projective space. We identify the obstruction bundle for this example by using the Riemann bilinear relations for periods. We outline a general method of computing the Chen-Ruan ring for Ca…

Two examples of $\mathrm{Diff}^+S^1$-invariant closed two-forms obtained from forms on jet bundles, which does not admit equivariant moment maps are presented. The corresponding cohomological obstruction is computed and shown to coincide with a nontrivial Lie algebra cohomology class on $H^2(\mathfrak{X}(S^1))$.

Characterizes obstacles to variational formulation of Dirac dynamics.

We study cohomologies and Hodge theory for complex manifolds with twisted differentials. In particular, we get another cohomological obstruction for manifolds in class $\mathcal{C}$ of Fujiki. We give a Hodge-theoretical proof of the characterization of solvmanifolds in class $\mathcal{C}$ of Fujiki, first proven by D.…

The problem of gauging a closed form is considered. When the target manifold is a simple Lie group G, it is seen that there is no obstruction to the gauging of a subgroup H\subset G if we may construct from the form a cocycle for the relative Lie algebra cohomology (or for the equivariant cohomology), and an explicit g…

We show that the group cohomology of the diffeomorphisms of the disk with $n$ punctures has the cohomology of the braid group of $n$ strands as the summand. As an application of this method, we also prove that there is no cohomological obstruction to lifting the "standard" embedding $\mathrm{Br}_{2g+2}\hookrightarrow \…

Generalizes cohomological obstruction for quasiregular ellipticity.

In this work we introduce an obstruction for the existence of symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras. Indeed, a necessary condition is presented in terms of the cohomology of the Lie algebra. Using this obstruction we obtain both positive and negative results on the existence of symplectic structures on a larg…

New exact sequence links cohomology, automorphisms, and extensions of symmetric quandles.

We answer the natural question: when are a regular Poisson structure along with a complex structure transverse to its symplectic leaves induced by generalized complex structure? The leafwise symplectic form and transverse complex structure determine an obstruction class in a certain cohomology, which vanishes if and on…

This note gives a uniform, self-contained, and fairly direct approach to a variety of obstruction-theoretic problems on 8-manifolds. We give necessary and sufficient cohomological critera for the existence of almost complex and almost quaternionic structures on the tangent bundle and for the reduction of the structure …

It is well-known that generic perturbations of the complex Frobenius algebra used to define Khovanov cohomology each give rise to Rasmussen's concordance invariant s. This gives a concordance homomorphism to the integers and a strong lower bound on the smooth slice genus of a knot. Similar behavior has been observed in…

We introduce a complete obstruction to the existence of nonvanishing vector fields on a closed orbifold $Q$. Motivated by the inertia orbifold, the space of multi-sectors, and the generalized orbifold Euler characteristics, we construct for each finitely generated group $Γ$ an orbifold called the space of $Γ$-sectors o…

This paper will study such phenomenons by studying the obstructions to deform a class in $H^q(X,Ω_X^p)$ with the param…
