INTRO to HODGE THEORY 1. Introduction the Goal of This INTRO TO HODGE THEORY DANIEL LITT 1. Introduction The goal of this seminar is to understand the extra structure imposed on the de Rham cohomology groups of a smooth manifold M by the data of a K¨ahlerstructure on M, how that data varies in families, and its interaction with the structure of the complex submanifolds of M. k 1.1. Smooth Manifolds. Let M be a smooth manifold and TM its tangent bundle. Let Λ (M) be the Vk ∗ 0 1 sheaf of smooth sections to (TM ), with Λ (M) := C (M). Then there is a chain complex of sheaves Λ•(M) : 0 ! C1(M) −!d Λ1(M) ! Λ2(M) !··· exact away from degree zero (by the Poincare lemma|NB: remark on this), where the kernel of the map d : C1(M) ! Λ1(M) is the constant sheaf R. We define the de Rham cohomology of M to be k k • HdR(M) := H (Γ(M; Λ (M))): The sheaves in the complex Λ•(M) are manifestly fine (e.g. they admit partitions of unity), and so the de Rham cohomology of M is the derived functor cohomology of the constant sheaf R. Now if A is any Abelian group and A is the constant A-valued sheaf on M, we define a resolution of A as follows: for any open set V ⊂ M and any cover U of V by open sets, we define the group of U-small singular chains U Ci (V ) to be the free abelian group on singular chains ι : ∆i ! U whose image is wholly contained in some U 2 U; we let i U CU(V; A) = HomAb(Ci (V );A): Finally, we define a presheaf Ci(M; A) on M by i i Γ(V; C (M; A)) = lim CU(V; A): −!U These presheaves are sheaves (barycentric subdivision), are soft (check this) and have global sections weakly- equivalent to the complex of i-th singular co-chains of M (explain this). They fit together into an exact sequence C•(M; A) : 0 ! C0(M; A) −!d C1(M; A) −! · · · via the usual singular co-chain maps, which is exact away from degree zero as M is locally contractible. The kernel of the map d : C0(M; A) ! C1(M; A) is the constant sheaf A. Thus the derived functor cohomology of A is the singular cohomology of M with coefficients in A. Putting these two results together we have Theorem 1 (de Rham's Theorem). The de Rham cohomology of a manifold M is naturally isomorphic to its singular cohomology with coefficients in R and is thus a topological invariant. In general, given a flat vector bundle E on M, and letting E be the sheaf of flat sections to E, an identical argument gives that the complex E ⊗ Λ•(M) computes the derived functor cohomology of E. Furthermore, this is naturally isomorphic to the singular cohomology of M with coefficients in E, viewed as a local system. 1 1.2. Complex Manifolds. Now, let us consider the case where M has a complex structure. In this case, 2 there is a natural endomorphism I : TM ! TM satisfying I = −1 (that is, an almost-complex structure) given by viewing TM as a complex vector bundle and multiplying by i. Upon complexification, one finds that 1;0 0;1 TM ⊗R C = TM ⊕ TM where T 1;0 is the eigenspace of I with eigenvalue i, and T 0;1 is its conjugate (that is, the eigenspace for −i). 1;0 As a complex sub-bundle of TM ⊗R C, TM is isomorphic to TM . Now note that Λk(M) ⊗ C (which by our remarks above, computes the derived-functor cohomology of C splits naturally as p q ! k M ^ 1;0 ∗ ^ 0;1 ∗ Λ (M) ⊗ C = Γ (TM ) ⊗ (TM ) : p+q=k Thus we set Ap;q(M) to be the sheaf of smooth sections to p q ^ 1;0 ∗ ^ 0;1 ∗ (TM ) ⊗ (TM ) : Note that d(Ap;q(M)) ⊂ Ap+1;q(M) ⊕ Ap;q+1(M) so we may write d = @ + @ where @ : Ap;q ! Ap+1;q; @ : Ap;q ! Ap;q+1: 2 Furthermore, d ◦ d = 0 implies @2 = 0; @ = 0;@@ + @@ = 0, so the Ap;q fit into a double complex A•;•: . O O O @ @ ··· / Aq−1;p+1 / Aq;p+1 / Aq+1;p+1 / ··· O O O @ @ @ @ @ ··· / Aq−1;p / Aq;p / Aq+1;p / ··· O O O @ @ @ @ @ ··· / Aq−1;p−1 / Aq;p−1 / Aq+1;p−1 / ··· O O O . Note that the total complex of this double complex satisfies •;• k Tot(A ) ' Λ (M) ⊗R C: The Dolbeault Lemma (or @-lemma) states that the rows of this double complex, i.e. the complexes Ap;• are exact complexes of sheaves away from degree 0. The kernel of the map @ : Ap;0 ! Ap;1 is the sheaf of holomorphic p-forms k p p ^ ∗ Ω (M) : Γ(U; Ω (M)) = fholomorphic sections to (TM )g: We define the Dolbeault cohomology Hp;q(M) = Hq(Γ(M; Ap;•)): By the Dolbeault Lemma and the fact that the Ap;q are manifestly fine sheaves, this agrees with the derived functor cohomology Hq(M; Ωp(M)). Furthermore, if E is any holomorphic vector bundle on M and E its 2 sheaf of holomorphic sections, we have that E ⊗ A0;• is a fine resolution of E, and so computes its sheaf cohomology. In general, the cohomology Hp;q(E) := Hq(Ap;• ⊗ E) is referred to as the Dolbeault cohomology of E; we will refer to the differentials in the complex Ap;• ⊗ E as @E. 1.3. K¨ahlerManifolds. Let V be a complex vector space; let WR be its real dual WR ' HomR(V; R) and WC the complexification HomR(V; C) ' WR ⊗R C: Then as before WR has a natural endomorphism I satisfying I2 = −1, induced by the complex structure on V , and so 1;0 WC ' W ⊗ W0;1 where W 1;0 is the eigenspace for I ⊗ C with eigenvalue i, and W 0;1 is its complex conjugate. Let 2 1;1 1;0 0;1 ^ W := W ⊗ W ⊂ (WC): We have the following important lemma from linear algebra: Proposition 1. Hermitian forms on V are naturally in bijection with elements of 2 ^ W 1;1 := W 1;1 \ (W ): R R The map is defined as follows: given a hermitian form h, we send h 7! − Im(h): Likewise, Hermitian metrics on a complex manifold are in bijection with elements of A1;1(M) \ Λ2(M): We say a Hermitian metric h is K¨ahlerif the associated 2-form − Im(h) is closed; a K¨ahlermanifold is a complex manifold equipped with a K¨ahlermetric, or equivalently a closed real 2-form of type (1; 1) as above. Some examples: • Cn with the standard metric is K¨ahler. • Cn=L with L a lattice is K¨ahler,where the metric is induced from the standard metric on Cn. • CPn admits a K¨ahler metric; one can see the associated 2-form as e.g. Poincar´edual to a represen- tative of a top dimensional (integral) homology class of a hyperplane; alternately, one may view the form as a representative of the Chern class of O(1). • Any complex submanifold of a K¨ahlermanifold inherits a K¨ahlermetric; in particular, smooth projective varieties admit a K¨ahler structure. 2. Main Results Now that we've introduced some of the major players, we're ready to go over the main results for the next few weeks. 2.1. Harmonic Forms and Cohomology. For the rest of the lecture, we'll assume M is compact and 2 orientable. If M is smooth and g is a Riemannian metric on M, g will induce an L -inner product gk on Vk ∗ k (TM ) and thus on Γ(M; Λ (M)), via Z hγ; ηi := gk(γ; η)xVol M where Vol is a volume form; analogously, an inner (resp. Hermitian) product on a flat vector bundle E (resp. holomorphic vector bundle F ) will induce an L2-inner product on Λk ⊗ E (resp. Ap;• ⊗ F). If the Λk(M) had finite-dimensional spaces of global sections, this inner product would allow us to pick k out canonical representatives for HdR(M), simply by taking the orthogonal complement of im(d) in ker(d). Unfortunately, this is not the case, but we can still use the finite-dimensional setting for inspiration: 3 Proposition 2. Let V be a finite dimensional inner product space and ∆ : V ! V a self-adjoint operator. Then there is a natural (orthogonal) decomposition V ' Ker(∆) ⊕ Im(∆): Proof. By dimension-counting, it suffices to show that Ker(∆) ? Im(∆). Consider v 2 Im(∆); v = ∆w. Then we have for u 2 Ker(∆) that (v; u) = (∆w; u) = (w; ∆u) = 0 completing the proof. Now, consider the following model situation: Proposition 3. Let d d ∗ ) ∗ ) U i d V i d W be a sequence of finite dimensional inner product spaces such that d2 = 0 and d is formally adjoint to d∗ in the sense that (dv; w) = (v; d∗w) for v 2 U; w 2 V or v 2 V; w 2 W . Let ∆ : V ! V equal dd∗ + d∗d and let H = Ker(∆). Then H ' Ker(d) \ Ker(d∗) and V has a natural orthogonal decomposition as V ' H ⊕ Im(d) ⊕ Im(d∗) with orthogonal decompositions Ker(d) ' H ⊕ Im(d) and Ker(d∗) ' H ⊕ Im(d∗): Thus, there are natural isomorphisms H ' Ker(d)= Im(d) ' Ker(d∗)= Im(d∗): Proof. We first show that H ' Ker(d) \ Ker(d∗).

  • Hodge Decomposition
    Hodge Decomposition Daniel Lowengrub April 27, 2014 1 Introduction All of the content in these notes in contained in the book Differential Analysis on Complex Man- ifolds by Raymond Wells. The primary objective here is to highlight the steps needed to prove the Hodge decomposition theorems for real and complex manifolds, in addition to providing intuition as to how everything fits together. 1.1 The Decomposition Theorem On a given complex manifold X, there are two natural cohomologies to consider. One is the de Rham Cohomology which can be defined on a general, possibly non complex, manifold. The second one is the Dolbeault cohomology which uses the complex structure. We’ll quickly go over the definitions of these cohomologies in order to set notation but for a precise discussion I recommend Huybrechts or Wells. If X is a manifold, we can define the de Rahm Complex to be the chain complex 0 E(Ω0)(X) −d E(Ω1)(X) −d ::: Where Ω = T∗ denotes the cotangent vector bundle and Ωk is the alternating product Ωk = ΛkΩ. In general, we’ll use the notation! E(E) to! denote the sheaf! of sections associated to a vector bundle E. The boundary operator is the usual differentiation operator. The de Rham cohomology of the manifold X is defined to be the cohomology of the de Rham chain complex: d Ker(E(Ωn)(X) − E(Ωn+1)(X)) n (X R) = HdR , d Im(E(Ωn-1)(X) − E(Ωn)(X)) ! We can also consider the de Rham cohomology with complex coefficients by tensoring the de Rham complex with C in order to obtain the de Rham complex! with complex coefficients 0 d 1 d 0 E(ΩC)(X) − E(ΩC)(X) − ::: where ΩC = Ω ⊗ C and the differential d is linearly extended.

    Cohomological Obstructions for Mittag-Leffler Problems Mateus Schmidt 2020 Abstract This is an extensive survey of the techniques used to formulate generalizations of the Mittag-Leffler Theorem from complex analysis. With the techniques of the theory of differential forms, sheaves and cohomology, we are able to define the notion of a Mittag-Leffler Problem on a Riemann surface, as a problem of passage of data from local to global, and discuss characterizations of contexts where these problems have solutions.

  • Dolbeault Cohomology of Nilmanifolds with Left-Invariant Complex Structure
    DOLBEAULT COHOMOLOGY OF NILMANIFOLDS WITH LEFT-INVARIANT COMPLEX STRUCTURE SONKE¨ ROLLENSKE Abstract. We discuss the known evidence for the conjecture that the Dol- beault cohomology of nilmanifolds with left-invariant complex structure can be computed as Lie-algebra cohomology and also mention some applications. 1. Introduction Dolbeault cohomology is one of the most fundamental holomorphic invariants of a compact complex manifold X but in general it is quite hard to compute. If X is a compact K¨ahler manifold, then this amounts to describing the decomposition of the de Rham cohomology Hk (X, C)= Hp,q(X)= Hq(X, Ωp ) dR M M X p+q=k p+q=k but in general there is only a spectral sequence connecting these invariants. One case where at least de Rham cohomology is easily computable is the case of nilmanifolds, that is, compact quotients of real nilpotent Lie groups. If M =Γ\G is a nilmanifold and g is the associated nilpotent Lie algebra Nomizu proved that we have a natural isomorphism ∗ ∗ H (g, R) =∼ HdR(M, R) where the left hand side is the Lie-algebra cohomology of g. In other words, com- puting the cohomology of M has become a matter of linear algebra There is a natural way to endow an even-dimensional nilmanifold with an almost complex structure: choose any endomorphism J : g → g with J 2 = − Id and extend it to an endomorphism of T G, also denoted by J, by left-multiplication. Then J is invariant under the action of Γ and descends to an almost complex structure on M.

    LERAY-HIRSCH THEOREM AND BLOW-UP FORMULA FOR DOLBEAULT COHOMOLOGY LINGXU MENG Abstract. We prove a theorem of Leray-Hirsch type and give an explicit blow-up for- mula for Dolbeault cohomology on (not necessarily compact) complex manifolds. We give applications to strongly q-complete manifolds and the ∂∂¯-lemma. 1. Introduction Dolbeault cohomology is an algebraic invariant on complex manifolds, which is related to the complex structures of complex manifolds. In general cases, the computation of Dolbeault cohomology is much more difficult than that of de Rham one. One reason is that the property of a sheaf germs of holomorphic forms is more complicated than that of a constant sheaf. We focus on the Dolbeault cohomologies of fiber bundles and blow-ups. The Leray-Hirsch theorem is a classical result in algebraic topology, which is used to cal- culate the singular (or de Rham) cohomology of fiber bundles. Cordero, L. [7] obtained a version of this theorem on Dolbeault cohomology by use of Borel’s spectral sequence on holo- morphic fiber bundle. By Cordero’s result, Rao, S., Yang, S. and Yang, X.-D. [28] proved the projective bundle formula for Dolbeault cohomology on compact complex manifolds. Angella, D., Suwa, T., Tardini, N. and Tomassini, A. [3] and Stelzig, J. [31] got the same formula for projective bundles in different ways. The following theorem is weaker than Cordero’s and we will give a simple proof. Theorem 1.1. Let π : E → X be a holomorphic fiber bundle with compact fibers over a connected complex manifold X. Assume that there exist classes e1, .

  • A Beginner's Guide to Holomorphic Manifolds
    This is page Printer: Opaque this A Beginner’s Guide to Holomorphic Manifolds Andrew D. Hwang This is page i Printer: Opaque this Preface This book constitutes notes from a one-semester graduate course called “Complex Manifolds and Hermitian Differential Geometry” given during the Spring Term, 1997, at the University of Toronto. Its aim is not to give a thorough treatment of the algebraic and differential geometry of holomorphic manifolds, but to introduce material of current interest as quickly and concretely as possible with a minimum of prerequisites. There are several excellent references available for the reader who wishes to see subjects in more depth. The coverage includes standard introductory analytic material on holo- morphic manifolds, sheaf cohomology and deformation theory, differential geometry of vector bundles (Hodge theory, and Chern classes via curva- ture), and some applications to the topology and projective embeddability of K¨ahlerian manifolds. The final chapter is a short survey of extremal K¨ahler metrics and related topics, emphasizing the geometric and “soft” analytic aspects. There is a large number of exercises, particularly for a book at this level. The exercises introduce several specific but colorful ex- amples scattered through “folklore” and “the literature.” Because there are recurrent themes and varying viewpoints in the subject, some of the exercises overlap considerably. The course attendees were mostly advanced graduate students in math- ematics, but it is hoped that these notes will reach a wider audience, in- cluding theoretical physicists. The “ideal” reader would be familiar with smooth manifolds (charts, forms, flows, Lie groups, vector bundles), differ- ential geometry (metrics, connections, and curvature), and basic algebraic topology (simplicial and singular cohomology, the long exact sequence, and ii the fundamental group), but in reality the prerequisites are less strenuous, though a good reference for each subject should be kept at hand.

  • KÄHLER GEOMETRY and HODGE THEORY the Aim of These Lecture
    KÄHLER GEOMETRY AND HODGE THEORY OLIVIER BIQUARD AND ANDREAS HÖRING The aim of these lecture notes is to give an introduction to analytic geometry, that is the geometry of complex manifolds, with a focus on the Hodge theory of compact Kähler manifolds. The text comes in two parts that correspond to the distribution of the lectures between the two authors: - the first part, by Olivier Biquard, is an introduction to Hodge theory, and more generally to the analysis of elliptic operators on compact manifolds. - the second part, by Andreas Höring, starts with an introduction to complex manifolds and the objects (differential forms, cohomology theories, connections...) naturally attached to them. In Section 4, the analytic results established in the first part are used to prove the existence of the Hodge decomposition on compact Kähler manifolds. Finally in Section 5 we prove the Kodaira vanishing and embedding theorems which establish the link with complex algebraic geometry. Among the numerous books on this subject, we especially recommend the ones by Jean-Pierre Demailly [Dem96], Claire Voisin [Voi02] and Raymond Wells [Wel80]. Indeed our presentation usually follows closely one of these texts. Contents 1. Hodge theory 2 2. Complex manifolds 17 3. Connections, curvature and Hermitian metrics 50 4.

  • Vanishing Theorems for Dolbeault Cohomology of Log Homogeneous Varieties
    VANISHING THEOREMS FOR DOLBEAULT COHOMOLOGY OF LOG HOMOGENEOUS VARIETIES Michel Brion Abstract We consider a complete nonsingular complex algebraic variety having a normal crossing divisor such that the associated logarithmic tangent bundle is generated by its global sections. We obtain an optimal vanishing theorem for logarithmic Dolbeault cohomology of nef line bundles in that setting. This implies a vanishing theorem for ordinary Dolbeault cohomology which generalizes results of Broer for flag varieties, and of Mavlyutov for toric varieties. Introduction The main motivation for this work comes from the well-developed theory of complete intersections in algebraic tori (C∗)n and in their equivariant compactifications, toric vari- eties. In particular, the Hodge numbers of these complete intersections were determined by Danilov and Khovanskii, and their Hodge structure, by Batyrev, Cox and others (see [11, 2, 26]). This is made possible by the special features of toric geometry; two key ingredients are the triviality of the logarithmic tangent bundle TX (− log D), where X is a complete nonsingular toric variety with boundary D, and the Bott–Danilov–Steenbrink i j vanishing theorem for Dolbeault cohomology: H (X, L ⊗ ΩX ) = 0 for any ample line bundle L on X and any i ≥ 1, j ≥ 0. A natural problem is to generalise this theory to complete intersections in algebraic homogeneous spaces and their equivariant compactifications. As a first observation, the preceding two results also hold for abelian varieties and, more generally, for the “semi- abelic” varieties of [1], that is, equivariant compactifications of semi-abelian varieties.

    NOTE ON DOLBEAULT COHOMOLOGY AND HODGE STRUCTURES UP TO BIMEROMORPHISMS DANIELE ANGELLA, TATSUO SUWA, NICOLETTA TARDINI, AND ADRIANO TOMASSINI Abstract. We construct a simply-connected compact complex non- Kähler manifold satisfying the ∂∂-Lemma, and endowed with a balanced metric. To this aim, we were initially aimed at investigating the stabil- ity of the property of satisfying the ∂∂-Lemma under modifications of compact complex manifolds and orbifolds. This question has been re- cently addressed and answered in [RYY17, YY17, Ste18b, Ste18c] with different techniques. Here, we provide a different approach using Čech cohomology theory to study the Dolbeault cohomology of the blow-up X˜Z of a compact complex manifold X along a submanifold Z admitting a holomorphically contractible neighbourhood. Introduction The ∂∂-Lemma is a strong cohomological decomposition property defined for complex manifolds, which is satisfied for example by algebraic projective manifolds and, more generally, by compact Kähler manifolds. The property is closely related to the fact that the Dolbeault cohomology provides a Hodge structure on the de Rham cohomology (cf. Subsection 1.5 below). This property yields also strong topological obstructions: the real ho- motopy type of a compact complex manifold satisfying the ∂∂-Lemma is a formal consequence of its cohomology ring [DGMS75]. Complex non- Kähler manifolds usually do not satisfy the ∂∂-Lemma: for example, it is never satisfied by compact non-tori nilmanifolds [Has89]. On the other hand, some examples of compact complex non-Kähler manifolds satisfying the ∂∂-Lemma are provided by Moišhezon manifolds and manifolds in class C of Fujiki thanks to [DGMS75, Theorem 5.22], see [Hir62] for a concrete Date: August 19, 2020.
