Leibniz cohomology for differentiable manifolds

Jerry M. Lodder (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We propose a definition of Leibniz cohomology, H L * , for differentiable manifolds. Then H L * becomes a non-commutative version of Gelfand-Fuks cohomology. The calculations of H L * ( R n ; R ) reduce to those of formal vector fields, and can be identified with certain invariants of foliations.

Families of jacobian manifolds and characteristic classes of surface bundles. I

Shigeyuki Morita (1989)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

In our previous work we have defined the notion of characteristic classes of , which are differentiable fibre bundles whose fibres are closed oriented surfaces. In this paper we derive new relations between these characteristic classes by considering a canonical embedding of a given surface bundle with cross section to its associated family of Jacobian manifolds. As a key technical step we determine the first cohomology group of the mapping class group of oriented surfaces with coefficients...

Nondegenerate cohomology pairing for transitive Lie algebroids, characterization

Jan Kubarski, Alexandr Mishchenko (2004)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

The Evens-Lu-Weinstein representation (Q A, D) for a Lie algebroid A on a manifold M is studied in the transitive case. To consider at the same time non-oriented manifolds as well, this representation is slightly modified to (Q Aor, Dor) by tensoring by orientation flat line bundle, Q Aor=QA⊗or (M) and D or=D⊗∂Aor. It is shown that the induced cohomology pairing is nondegenerate and that the representation (Q Aor, Dor) is the unique (up to isomorphy) line representation for which the...

Homology of braid groups and their generalizations

Vladimir Vershinin (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In the paper we give a survey of (co)homologies of braid groups and groups connected with them. Among these groups are pure braid groups and generalized braid groups. We present explicit formulations of some theorems of V. I. Arnold, E. Brieskorn, D. B. Fuks, F. Cohen, V. V. Goryunov and others. The ideas of some proofs are outlined. As an application of (co)homologies of braid groups we study the Thom spectra of these groups.
