Anti-self-dual orbifolds with cyclic quotient singularities

Michael T. Lock, Jeff A. Viaclovsky (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

An index theorem for the anti-self-dual deformation complex on anti-self-dual orbifolds with cyclic quotient singularities is proved. We present two applications of this theorem. The first is to compute the dimension of the deformation space of the Calderbank–Singer scalar-flat Kähler toric ALE spaces. A corollary of this is that, except for the Eguchi–Hanson metric, all of these spaces admit non-toric anti-self-dual deformations, thus yielding many new examples of anti-self-dual ALE spaces. For...

Area functionals and Godbillon-Vey cocycles

Takashi Tsuboi (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We investigate the natural domain of definition of the Godbillon-Vey 2- dimensional cohomology class of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. We introduce the notion of area functionals on a space of functions on the circle, we give a sufficiently large space of functions with nontrivial area functional and we give a sufficiently large group of Lipschitz homeomorphisms of the circle where the Godbillon-Vey class is defined.
