New $A_\infty$ structures derived from equivariant de Rham complex for $S^1$-action.

Using the language and terminology of relative homological algebra, in particular that of derived functors, we introduce equivariant cohomology over a general Lie-Rinehart algebra and equivariant de Rham cohomology over a locally trivial Lie groupoid in terms of suitably defined monads (also known as triples) and the a…

Let G be a general (not necessarily finite dimensional compact) Lie group, let g be its Lie algebra, let Cg be the cone on g in the category of differential graded Lie algebras, and consider the functor which assigns to a chain complex V the V-valued total de Rham complex of G. We describe the G-equivariant de Rham coh…

This note proves equivariant de Rham cohomology for quotient spaces.

This is a survey on the equivariant cohomology of Lie group actions on manifolds, from the point of view of de Rham theory. Emphasis is put on the notion of equivariant formality, as well as on applications to ordinary cohomology and to fixed points.

In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of the half-twisted variant of Witten's topological A-model coupled to a non-dynamical gauge field with Kahler target space X being a G-manifold. Our main objective is to furnish a purely physical interpretation of the equivariant cohomology of the chiral de Rham complex…

Study of Hermitian metrics on Lie algebroids over complex spaces.

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…

Local index density of perturbed de Rham complex is invariant under certain conditions.

Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson have recently shown that the computation of the equivariant cohomology ring of a G-manifold can be reduced to a computation in graph theory. This opens up the possibility that many of the fundamental theorems in equivariant de Rham theory may, on closer inspection, turn out simply to be…

Two de Rham complexes in diffeology are compared using a factor map.

We prove an analogue of the de Rham theorem for the extended L^2-cohomology introduced by M. Farber. This is done by establishing that the de Rham complex over a compact closed manifold with coefficients in a flat Hilbert bundle E of A-modules over a finite von Neumann algebra A is chain-homotopy equivalent (with bound…

We prove that Chern-Weil forms are the only natural differential forms associated to a connection on a principal G-bundle. We use the homotopy theory of simplicial sheaves on smooth manifolds to formulate the theorem and set up the proof. Other arguments come from classical invariant theory. We identify the Weil algebr…

New Lipschitz de Rham theorem for $L_p$-cohomology.

We define quantum exterior product wedge_h and quantum exterior differential d_h on Poisson manifolds (of which symplectic manifolds are an important class of examples). Quantum de Rham cohomology, which is a deformation quantization of de Rham cohomology, is defined as the cohomology of d_h. We also define quantum Dol…

Consider a manifold endowed with the action of a Lie group. We study the relation between the cohomology of the Cartan complex and the equivariant cohomology by using the equivariant De Rham complex developed by Getzler, and we show that the cohomology of the Cartan complex lies on the 0-th row of the second page of a …

We define quantum exterior product wedge_h and quantum exterior differential d_h on Poisson manifolds, of which symplectic manifolds are an important class of examples. Quantum de Rham cohomology is defined as the cohomology of d_h. We also define quantum Dolbeault cohomology. Quantum hard Lefschetz theorem is proved. …

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.

This note proves that, as K-theory elements, the symbol classes of the de Rham operator and the signature operator on a closed manifold of even dimension are congruent mod 2. An equivariant generalization is given pertaining to the equivariant Euler characteristic and the multi-signature.

Authors prove de Rham cohomology of Poisson and Jacobi manifolds is trivial.

The chiral de Rham complex of Malikov, Schechtman, and Vaintrob, is a sheaf of differential graded vertex algebras that exists on any smooth manifold $Z$, and contains the ordinary de Rham complex at weight zero. Given a closed 3-form $H$ on $Z$, we construct the twisted chiral de Rham differential $D_H$, which coincid…

We construct a new equivariant cohomology theory for a certain class of differential vertex algebras, which we call the chiral equivariant cohomology. A principal example of a differential vertex algebra in this class is the chiral de Rham complex of Malikov-Schechtman-Vaintrob of a manifold with a group action. The ma…

The paper explores de Rham theory for singular spaces and stacks.

We study the de Rham complex on a smooth manifold with a periodic end modeled on an infinite cyclic cover X' \to X. The completion of this complex in exponentially weighted L^2-norms is Fredholm for all but finitely many exceptional weights determined by the eigenvalues of the covering translation map H_*(X') \to H_*(X…

We exhibit a cocycle in the simplicial de Rham complex which represents the Euler class. As an application, we construct a Lie algebra cocycle on $L\mathfrak{so}(4)$.

In this paper, we extend the Burghelea-Haller analytic torsion to the twisted de Rham complexes. We also compare it with the twisted refined analytic torsion defined by Huang.

We define the category of manifolds with extended tangent bundles, we study their symmetries and we consider the analogue of equivariant cohomology for actions of Lie groups in this category. We show that when the action preserves the splitting of the extended tangent bundle, our definition of extended equivariant coho…

We construct equivariant and Bott-type Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and cohomology for 3-manifolds, in particular rational homology spheres, and prove their diffeomorphism invariance. We present several versions of the equivariant theory: the singular version, the de Rham version and the Cartan version, with the first…

Study new invariants in complex geometry using Bott-Chern hypercohomology.

On the basis of A. L. Carey, D. Crowley, M. K. Murray's work, we exhibit a cocycle in the simplicial de Rham complex which represents the Dixmier-Douady class.

Locally-verifiable conditions ensure exactness of spline discrete de Rham complex.

We introduce the notion of a conformal de Rham complex of a Riemannian manifold. This is a graded differential Banach algebra and it is invariant under quasiconformal maps, in particular the associated cohomology is a new quasiconformal invariant.

We characterize Lie group actions for which there exists, at least locally, an evaluation map that defines a cochain map from the differential complex of invariant forms on a manifold to the De Rham complex for the quotient.

Researchers compute de Rham cohomology of geodesic flow foliations on hyperbolic surfaces.

We exploit the Fedosov-Weinstein-Xu (FWX) resolution proposed in q-alg/9709043 to establish an isomorphism between the ring of Hochschild cohomology of the quantum algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold M and the ring H(M, C((h))) of De Rham cohomology of M with the coefficient field C((h)) without making use of…

On the basis of Dupont's work, we exhibit a cocycle in the simplicial de Rham complex which represents the Chern character. We also prove the related conjecture due to Brylinski. This gives a way to construct a cocycle in a local truncated complex.

Let $G$ be a connected and non-necessarily compact Lie group acting on a connected manifold $M$. In this short note we announce the following result: for a $G$-invariant closed differential form on $M$, the existence of a closed equivariant extension in the Cartan model for equivariant cohomology is equivalent to the e…

Extended Regge complex for linearized Riemann-Cartan geometry and cohomology.

The space of the global sections of chiral de Rham complex on a compact Ricci-flat Kähler manifold is calculated and it is expressed as an invariant subspace of a $βγ-bc$ system under the action of certain Lie algebra.

We show that the chiral de Rham complex of a generalized Calabi-Yau manifold carries N=2 supersymmetry. We discuss the corresponding topological twist for this N=2 algebra. We interpret this as an algebroid version of the super-Sugawara or Kac-Todorov construction.

Develops fractional de Rham theory for Maxwell equations.

The construction of characteristic classes via the curvature form of a connection is one motivation for the refinement of integral cohomology by de Rham cocycles -- known as differential cohomology. We will discuss the analog in the case of a group action on the manifold: The definition of equivariant characteristic fo…
