Hopf cyclic cohomology and Hodge theory for proper actions on complex manifolds

We introduce two Hopf algebroids associated to a proper and holomorphic Lie group action on a complex manifold. We prove that the cyclic cohomology of each Hopf algebroid is equal to the Dolbeault cohomology of invariant differential forms. When the action is cocompact, we develop a generalized complex Hodge theory for the Dolbeault cohomology of invariant differential forms. We prove that every cyclic cohomology class of these two Hopf algebroids can be represented by a generalized harmonic form. This implies that the space of cyclic cohomology of each Hopf algebroid is finite dimensional. As an application of the techniques developed in this paper, we generalize the Serre duality and prove a Kodaira type vanishing theorem.     

Equivariant cohomology distinguishes toric manifolds

The equivariant cohomology of a space with a group action is not only a ring but also an algebra over the cohomology ring of the classifying space of the acting group. We prove that toric manifolds (i.e. compact smooth toric varieties) are isomorphic as varieties if and only if their equivariant cohomology algebras are weakly isomorphic. We also prove that quasitoric manifolds, which can be thought of as a topological counterpart to toric manifolds, are equivariantly homeomorphic if and only if their equivariant cohomology algebras are isomorphic.     

Semi-free Hamiltonian circle actions on 6-dimensional symplectic manifolds

Assume is a connected, compact 6-dimensional symplectic manifold equipped with a semi-free Hamiltonian circle action, such that the fixed point set consists of isolated points or compact orientable surfaces. We restrict attention to the case . We give a complete list of the possible manifolds, and determine their equivariant cohomology rings and equivariant Chern classes. Some of these manifolds are classified up to diffeomorphism. We also show the existence for a few cases.

     

A new construction of semi-free actions on Menger manifolds

A new construction of semi-free actions on Menger manifolds is presented. As an application we prove a theorem about simultaneous coexistence of countably many semi-free actions of compact metric zero-dimensional groups with the prescribed fixed-point sets: Let be a compact metric zero-dimensional group, represented as the direct product of subgroups , a -manifold and (resp., ) its pseudo-interior (resp., pseudo-boundary). Then, given closed subsets of , there exists a -action on such that (1) and are invariant subsets of ; and (2) each is the fixed point set of any element .

     

Actions of Compact Groups on Compact (4,m)-Quadrangles

We establish sharp upper bounds for the dimensions of compact groups which act effectively on finite-dimensional compact generalized quadrangles with four-dimensional point rows. These bounds are attained, or indeed approached, only for explicitly known actions of Lie groups on Moufang quadrangles.     

Bredon-Illman cohomology with actions of totally disconnected groups

We study the Bredon-Illman cohomology with local coefficients for a G-space X in the case of G being a totally disconnected, locally compact group. We prove that any short exact sequence of equivariant local coefficients systems on X gives a long exact sequence of the associated Bredon-Illman cohomology groups with local coefficients.     

Intersection cohomology of the circle actions

A classical result says that a free action of the circle S¹ on a topological space X is geometrically classified by the orbit space B and by a cohomological class e∈H²(B,Z), the Euler class. When the action is not free we have a difficult open question:

(Π)

“Is the space X determined by the orbit space B and the Euler class?”

The main result of this work is a step towards the understanding of the above question in the category of unfolded pseudomanifolds. We prove that the orbit space B and the Euler class determine:

•

the intersection cohomology of X,

•

the real homotopy type of X.

     

Rigidity of Hamiltonian actions on Poisson manifolds

This paper is about the rigidity of compact group actions in the Poisson context. The main result is that Hamiltonian actions of compact semisimple type are rigid. We prove it via a Nash–Moser normal form theorem for closed subgroups of SCI type. This Nash–Moser normal form has other applications to stability results that we will explore in a future paper. We also review some classical rigidity results for differentiable actions of compact Lie groups and export it to the case of symplectic actions of compact Lie groups on symplectic manifolds.     

On hypersphericity of manifolds with finite asymptotic dimension

We prove the following embedding theorems in the coarse geometry:



The Corollary is used in the proof of the following.

Theorem B together with a theorem of Gromov-Lawson implies the result, previously proven by G. Yu (1998), which states that an aspherical manifold whose fundamental group has a finite asymptotic dimension cannot carry a metric of positive scalar curvature.

We also prove that if a uniformly contractible manifold of bounded geometry is large scale uniformly embeddable into a Hilbert space, then is stably integrally hyperspherical.

A note on the injective dimension of local cohomology modules

For a Noetherian ring we call an -module cofinite if there exists an ideal of such that is -cofinite; we show that every cofinite module satisfies . As an application we study the question which local cohomology modules satisfy . There are two situations where the answer is positive. On the other hand, we present two counterexamples, the failure in these two examples coming from different reasons.

     

Representation dimension and finitely generated cohomology

We consider selfinjective Artin algebras whose cohomology groups are finitely generated over a central ring of cohomology operators. For such an algebra, we show that the representation dimension is strictly greater than the maximal complexity occurring among its modules. This provides a unified approach to computing lower bounds for the representation dimension of group algebras, exterior algebras and Artin complete intersections. We also obtain new examples of classes of algebras with arbitrarily large representation dimension.     

一种基于正则参数化的降维细分算法(英文)

In our previous work, we have given an algorithm for segmenting a simplex in the n-dimensional space into rt n＋ 1 polyhedrons and provided map F which maps the n-dimensional unit cube to these polyhedrons. In this paper, we prove that the map F is a one to one correspondence at least in lower dimensional spaces （n _〈 3）. Moreover, we propose the approximating subdivision and the interpolatory subdivision schemes and the estimation of computational complexity for triangular Bézier patches on a 2-dimensional space. Finally, we compare our schemes with Goldman＇s in computational complexity and speed.
