The paper defines and proves a new property for symplectic manifolds.

Study compact symplectic solvmanifolds' hard Lefschetz property.

Extends Hard Lefschetz Property to isometric flows and shows equivalence.

For a Lie group $G=\R^{n}\ltimes_φ\R^{m}$ with the semi-simple action $φ:\R^{n}\to {\rm Aut}(\R^{m})$, we show that if $Γ$ is a finite extension of a lattice of $G$ then $K(Γ, 1)$ is formal. Moreover we show that a compact symplectic aspherical manifold with the fundamental group $Γ$ satisfies the hard Lefschetz proper…

Study defines and proves Hard Lefschetz Property for S^3-actions.

This short review is the result of a minicourse at the Sapienza University of Rome the author gave about the proof of the $g$-theorem. We review the hard Lefschetz theorem for simplicial spheres, as well as the theory at its core: perturbations of maps, biased Poincaré pairings and a cobordism argument that relates the…

Proves hard Lefschetz theorem and Hodge-Riemann relations for convex valuations.

In the literature, there are two different versions of Hard Lefschetz theorems for a compact Sasakian manifold. The first version, due to Kacimi-Alaoui, asserts that the basic cohomology of a compact Sasakian manifold satisfies the transverse Lefschetz property. The second version, established far more recently by Capp…

We study the properties of the multiplicative structure on valuations on convex sets. We prove a new version of the hard Lefschetz theorem for even translation invariant continuous valuations, and discuss related problems of integral geometry. Then we formulate a conjectural analogue of this result for odd valuations.

Constructing compact non-Kähler manifolds with and without the Hard Lefschetz Condition

New findings show some symplectic solvmanifolds fail hard-Lefschetz condition.

The paper proves a generalized Lefschetz duality for a specific type of manifold.

Study properties of balanced hyperbolic compact complex manifolds.

The Hard Lefschetz Theorem extends to certain Kähler Lie Algebroids with ellipticity.

For a simply connected solvable Lie group G with a cocompact discrete subgroup Γ, we consider the space of differential forms on the solvmanifold G/Γ with values in certain flat bundle so that this space has a structure of a differential graded algebra(DGA). We construct Sullivan's minimal model of this DGA. This resul…

New symplectic structures found on complex manifolds without Kähler structures.

Paper shows examples of almost Kähler manifolds satisfying Hard Lefschetz but not Betti-Hodge equality.

Extends Donaldson's techniques to symplectic orbifolds, proving existence of sections and computing cohomology.

New operators in Khovanov-Rozansky homology exhibit symmetry.

The paper explores Hodge decomposition and Hard Lefschetz Condition on almost Kähler manifolds.

We study the transversal hard Lefschetz theorem on a transversely symplectic foliation. This article extends the results of transversally symplectic flows (H.K.~Pak, "Transversal harmonic theory for transversally symplectic flows", J. Aust. Math. Soc. 84 (2008), 233--245) to the general transversely symplectic foliatio…

We establish a Hard Lefschetz Theorem for the de Rham cohomology of compact Vaisman manifolds. A similar result is proved for the basic cohomology with respect to the Lee vector field. Motivated by these results, we introduce the notions of a Lefschetz and of a basic Lefschetz locally conformal symplectic (l.c.s.) mani…

The paper proves a Hard Lefschetz Theorem for push-forwards of polarized twistor modules.

For a symplectic manifold $(M,ω)$, not necessarily hard Lefschetz, we prove a version of the Merkulov $dδ$--lemma. We also study the $dδ$--lemma and related cohomologies for compact symplectic solvmanifolds.

We study properties concerning decomposition in cohomology by means of generalized-complex structures. This notion includes the $\mathcal{C}^\infty$-pure-and-fullness introduced by Li and Zhang in the complex case and the Hard Lefschetz Condition in the symplectic case. Explicit examples on the moduli space of the Iwas…

Abstract study of HKT manifolds, proving Hodge theory and formality properties.

We provide a simpler proof of the hard Lefschetz Theorem for face rings of PL spheres: While the algebraic theory remains the same, we replace the geometric constructions by Pachner's Theorem. This simplifies the reasoning for an important special case of the main result of the first author in arxiv:1812.10454, and alr…

Complex manifolds with compatible metric have a naturally defined subspace of harmonic differential forms that satisfy Serre, Hodge, and conjugation duality, as well as hard Lefschetz duality. This last property follows from a representation of $sl(2,\mathbb{C})$, generalizing the well known structure on the harmonic f…

We obtain new general results on the structure of the space of translation invariant continuous valuations on convex sets (a version of the hard Lefschetz theorem). Using these and our previous results we obtain explicit characterization of unitarily invariant translation invariant continuous valuations. It implies new…

Symplectic structures simplified for compact manifolds.

We find a family of five dimensional completely solvable compact manifolds that constitute the first examples of $K$-contact manifolds which satisfy the Hard Lefschetz Theorem and have a model of Tievsky type just as Sasakian manifolds but do not admit any Sasakian structure.

Study on twisted Dolbeault cohomology in Kähler foliations.

It is known that the hard Lefschetz action, together with Kähler identities for Kähler (resp. hyperkähler) manifolds, determines a $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)_{sup}$ (resp. $\mathfrak{sp}(1,1)_{sup}$) Lie superalgebra action on differential forms. In this paper, we explain the geometric origin of this action, and we also gener…

We introduce a Lefschetz filtration for integer cohomology and explore its applications.

In this paper we study the behaviour of the Lefschetz property under the blow-up construction. We show that it is possible to reduce the dimension of the kernel of the Lefschetz map if we blow up along a suitable submanifold satisfying the Lefschetz property. We use that, together with results about Massey products, to…

In this paper we construct six-dimensional compact non-Kähler Hamiltonian circle manifolds which satisfy the strong Lefschetz property themselves but nevertheless have a non-Lefschetz symplectic quotient. This provides the first known counter examples to the question whether the strong Lefschetz property descends to th…

We study the Morse-Novikov cohomology and its almost-symplectic counterpart on manifolds admitting locally conformally symplectic structures. More precisely, we introduce lcs cohomologies and we study elliptic Hodge theory, dualities, Hard Lefschetz Condition. We consider solvmanifolds and Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds. In…

In the present paper we study six dimensional solvable Lie algebras with special emphasis on those admitting a symplectic structure. We list all the symplectic structures that they admit and we compute their Betti numbers finding some properties about the codimension of the nilradical. Next, we consider the conjecture …

Using the Hard Lefschetz Theorem for Sasakian manifolds, we find two examples of compact K-contact nilmanifolds with no compatible Sasakian metric in dimensions five and seven, respectively

A recent result of Papadakis-Petrotou shows that every simplicial sphere has the weak Lefschetz property in characteristic $2$. In this paper, we give a simpler proof of this result for PL-spheres by showing that the weak Lefschetz property in characteristic $2$ is preserved by bistellar moves. Several applications are…

We discuss how quantitative cohomological informations could provide qualitative properties on complex and symplectic manifolds. In particular we focus on the Bott-Chern and the Aeppli cohomology groups in both cases, since they represent useful tools in studying non Kähler geometry. We give an overview on the comparis…

Proves cohomology theorems for tropical varieties.

We study a special type of almost complex structures, called pure and full and introduced by T.J. Li and W. Zhang, in relation to symplectic structures and Hard Lefschetz condition. We provide sufficient conditions to the existence of the above type of almost complex structures on compact quotients of Lie groups by dis…

New space for valuations in non-Archimedean setting with duality properties.

The harmonic cohomology of a Donaldson symplectic submanifold and of an Auroux symplectic submanifold are compared with that of its ambient space. We also study symplectic manifolds satisfying a weakly Lefschetz property, that is, the $s$-Lefschetz propery. In particular, we consider the symplectic blow-ups of the comp…

A nilmanifold resp. solvmanifold is a compact homogeneous space of a connected and simply-connected nilpotent resp. solvable Lie group by a lattice, i.e. a discrete co-compact subgroup. There is an easy criterion for nilpotent Lie groups which enables one to decide whether there is a lattice or not. Moreover, it is eas…

The paper bounds the first Betti number and discusses properties of Lefschetz fibrations.
