Cohomology and Characteristic Classes
We prove Poincar e Duality for L p cohomology, 1 p 1 We study the pairings between L p and L 1 and construct characteristic classes.
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes in Borel Cohomology
Let G be a topological group and let EC be a free contractible G-space. The Bore1 construction on a G-space X is the orbit space Xo = EC x G X. When asked what equivariant cohomology is, most people would answer Bore1 cohomology, namely H:(X) = H*(X,). This theory has the claim of priority and the merit of ready computability, and many very beautiful results have been proven with it. However, i...
متن کاملDe Rham Cohomology, Connections, and Characteristic Classes
The de Rham cohomology is a cohomology based on differential forms on a smooth manifold. It uses the exterior derivative as the boundary map to produce cohomology groups consisting of closed forms modulo exact forms. The existence of exact forms reflects ’niceness’ of the topology, in that a potential for closed forms can often be constructed by integrating them over some submanifold, if the ma...
متن کاملRobot Motion Planning, Weights of Cohomology Classes, and Cohomology Operations
The complexity of algorithms solving the motion planning problem is measured by a homotopy invariant TC(X) of the configuration space X of the system. Previously known lower bounds for TC(X) use the structure of the cohomology algebra of X. In this paper we show how cohomology operations can be used to sharpen these lower bounds for TC(X). As an application of this technique we calculate explic...
متن کاملChromatic Characteristic Classes in Ordinary Group Cohomology
We study a family of subrings, indexed by the natural numbers, of the mod p cohomology of a finite group G. These subrings are based on a family of vn-periodic complex oriented cohomology theories and are constructed as rings of generalised characteristic classes. We identify the varieties associated to these subrings in terms of colimits over categories of elementary abelian subgroups of G, na...
