We introduce Hecke operators on de Rham cohomology of compact oriented manifolds. When the manifold is a quotient of a Hermitian symmetric domain, we prove that certain types of such operators are compatible with the usual Hecke operators on automorphic forms.
We extend some results by Goldshtein, Kuzminov, and Shvedov about the -cohomology of warped cylinders to -cohomology for . As an application, we establish some sufficient conditions for the nontriviality of the -torsion of a surface of revolution.
Regular Poisson structures with fixed characteristic foliation F are described by means of foliated symplectic forms. Associated to each of these structures, there is a class in the second group of foliated cohomology H2(F). Using a foliated version of Moser's lemma, we study the isotopy classes of these structures in relation with their cohomology class. Explicit examples, with dim F = 2, are described.
We introduce the concept of conserved current variationally associated with locally variational invariant field equations. The invariance of the variation of the corresponding local presentation is a sufficient condition for the current beeing variationally equivalent to a global one. The case of a Chern-Simons theory is worked out and a global current is variationally associated with a Chern-Simons local Lagrangian.
Each Lie algebra of vector fields (e.g. those which are tangent to a foliation) of a smooth manifold définies, in a natural way, a spectral sequence which converges to the de Rham cohomology of in a finite number of steps. We prove e.g. that for all there exists a foliated compact manifold with infinite dimensional.
