On quantum de Rham cohomology theory.
By using open book techniques we give an alternative proof of a theorem about the existence of contact structures on five-manifolds due to Geiges. The theorem asserts that simply-connected five-manifolds admit a contact structure in every homotopy class of almost contact structures.
The first two authors have recently defined Rabinowitz Floer homology groups associated to a separating exact embedding of a contact manifold into a symplectic manifold . These depend only on the bounded component of . We construct a long exact sequence in which symplectic cohomology of maps to symplectic homology of , which in turn maps to Rabinowitz Floer homology , which then maps to symplectic cohomology of . We compute , where is the unit cosphere bundle of a closed manifold...
The KV-homology theory is a new framework which yields interesting properties of lagrangian foliations. This short note is devoted to relationships between the KV-homology and the KV-cohomology of a lagrangian foliation. Let us denote by (resp. ) the KV-algebra (resp. the space of basic functions) of a lagrangian foliation F. We show that there exists a pairing of cohomology and homology to . That is to say, there is a bilinear map , which is invariant under F-preserving symplectic diffeomorphisms....
