A geometric description of differential cohomology

Ulrich Bunke, Matthias Kreck, Thomas Schick (2010)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Similarity:

In this paper we give a geometric cobordism description of differential integral cohomology. The main motivation to consider this model (for other models see [, , , ]) is that it allows for simple descriptions of both the cup product and the integration. In particular it is very easy to verify the compatibilty of these structures. We proceed in a similar way in the case of differential cobordism as constructed in []. There the starting point was Quillen’s cobordism description of singular...

The cohomology ring of polygon spaces

Jean-Claude Hausmann, Allen Knutson (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We compute the integer cohomology rings of the “polygon spaces”introduced in [F. Kirwan, Cohomology rings of moduli spaces of vector bundles over Riemann surfaces, J. Amer. Math. Soc., 5 (1992), 853-906] and [M. Kapovich & J. Millson, the symplectic geometry of polygons in Euclidean space, J. of Diff. Geometry, 44 (1996), 479-513]. This is done by embedding them in certain toric varieties; the restriction map on cohomology is surjective and we calculate its kernel using ideas from...

Singular Poisson reduction of cotangent bundles.

Simon Hochgerner, Armin Rainer (2006)

Revista Matemática Complutense

Similarity:

We consider the Poisson reduced space (T* Q)/K, where the action of the compact Lie group K on the configuration manifold Q is of single orbit type and is cotangent lifted to T* Q. Realizing (T* Q)/K as a Weinstein space we determine the induced Poisson structure and its symplectic leaves. We thus extend the Weinstein construction for principal fiber bundles to the case of surjective Riemannian submersions Q → Q/K which are of single orbit type.
