The Hochschild cohomology of a closed manifold

Yves Felix, Jean-Claude Thomas, Micheline Vigué-Poirrier (2004)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Let M be a closed orientable manifold of dimension dand 𝒞 * ( M ) be the usual cochain algebra on M with coefficients in a fieldk. The Hochschild cohomology of M, H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝒞 * ( M ) ) is a graded commutative and associative algebra. The augmentation map ε : 𝒞 * ( M ) 𝑘 induces a morphism of algebras I : H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝒞 * ( M ) ) H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝑘 ) . In this paper we produce a chain model for the morphism I. We show that the kernel of I is a nilpotent ideal and that the image of I is contained in the center of H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝑘 ) , which is in general quite small. The algebra H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝒞 * ( M ) ) is expected to be isomorphic...

The *-holonomy group of the Stefan suspension of a diffeomorphism

Andrzej Piątkowski (1993)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The definition of a Stefan suspension of a diffeomorphism is given. If g is the Stefan suspension of the diffeomorphism g over a Stefan foliation , and G₀ ∈ satisfies the condition g | G = i d G , then we compute the *-holonomy group for the leaf F g determined by G₀. A representative element of the *-holonomy along the standard imbedding of S¹ into F₀ is characterized. A corollary for the case when G₀ contains only one point is derived.

The index of analytic vector fields and Newton polyhedra

Carles Bivià-Ausina (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that if f:(ℝⁿ,0) → (ℝⁿ,0) is an analytic map germ such that f - 1 ( 0 ) = 0 and f satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition with respect to a Newton polyhedron Γ₊ ⊆ ℝⁿ, then the index of f only depends on the principal parts of f with respect to the compact faces of Γ₊. In particular, we obtain a known result on the index of semi-weighted-homogeneous map germs. We also discuss non-degenerate vector fields in the sense of Khovanskiĭand special applications of our results to planar analytic vector fields....

The L²-invariants and Morse numbers

Vladimir V. Sharko (2009)

Banach Center Publications

We study the homotopy invariants of free cochain complexes and Hilbert complexes. These invariants are applied to calculation of exact values of Morse numbers of smooth manifolds.
