Remarks on the Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology

Izu Vaisman (1990)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The paper begins with some general remarks which include the Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence, a covariant version of the Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology, and the definition of an associated Serre-Hochshild spectral sequence. Then we consider the regular case, and we discuss the Poisson cohomology by using a natural bigrading of the Lichnerowicz cochain complex. Furthermore, if the symplectic foliation of the Poisson manifold is either transversally Riemannian or transversally symplectic, the spectral...

Second variational derivative of local variational problems and conservation laws

Marcella Palese, Ekkehart Winterroth, E. Garrone (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider cohomology defined by a system of local Lagrangian and investigate under which conditions the variational Lie derivative of associated local currents is a system of conserved currents. The answer to such a question involves Jacobi equations for the local system. Furthermore, we recall that it was shown by Krupka et al. that the invariance of a closed Helmholtz form of a dynamical form is equivalent with local variationality of the Lie derivative of the dynamical form; we remark that...

Some remarks on Lie flows.

Miquel Llabrés, Agustí Reventós (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The first part of this paper is concerned with geometrical and cohomological properties of Lie flows on compact manifolds. Relations between these properties and the Euler class of the flow are given.The second part deals with 3-codimensional Lie flows. Using the classification of 3-dimensional Lie algebras we give cohomological obstructions for a compact manifold admits a Lie flow transversely modeled on a given Lie algebra.

Stability of Tangential Locally Conformal Symplectic Forms

Cristian Ida (2014)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In this paper we firstly define a tangential Lichnerowicz cohomology on foliated manifolds. Next, we define tangential locally conformal symplectic forms on a foliated manifold and we formulate and prove some results concerning their stability.

Symmetries in finite order variational sequences

Mauro Francaviglia, Marcella Palese, Raffaele Vitolo (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We refer to Krupka’s variational sequence, i.e. the quotient of the de Rham sequence on a finite order jet space with respect to a ‘variationally trivial’ subsequence. Among the morphisms of the variational sequence there are the Euler-Lagrange operator and the Helmholtz operator. In this note we show that the Lie derivative operator passes to the quotient in the variational sequence. Then we define the variational Lie derivative as an operator on the sheaves of the variational sequence. Explicit...

The geometry of a closed form

Marisa Fernández, Raúl Ibáñez, Manuel de León (1998)

Banach Center Publications

It is proved that a closed r-form ω on a manifold M defines a cohomology (called ω-coeffective) on M. A general algebraic machinery is developed to extract some topological information contained in the ω-coeffective cohomology. The cases of 1-forms, symplectic forms, fundamental 2-forms on almost contact manifolds, fundamental 3-forms on G 2 -manifolds and fundamental 4-forms in quaternionic manifolds are discussed.
