HONGˆ VANˆ LEˆ † AND JIRIˇ VANZURAˇ ‡
Abstract. In this note we introduce primitive cohomology groups of locally conformal sym- plectic manifolds (M 2n,ω,θ). We study the relation between the primitive cohomology groups and the Lichnerowicz-Novikov cohomology groups of (M 2n,ω,θ), using and extending the technique of spectral sequences developed by Di Pietro and Vinogradov for symplectic manifolds. We discuss related results by many peoples, e.g. Bouche, Lychagin, Rumin, Tseng-Yau, in light of our spectral sequences. We calculate the primitive cohomology groups of a (2n+2)-dimensional locally conformal symplectic nilmanifold as well as those of a l.c.s. solvmanifold. We show that the l.c.s. solvmanifold is a mapping torus of a contactomorphism, which is not isotopic to the identity.

1. Introduction. A differentiable manifold (M 2n,ω,θ) provided with a non- degenerate 2-form ω and a closed 1-form θ is called a locally conformal symplectic (l.c.s.) manifold, if dω = −ω ∧ θ, dθ =0.The1-formθ is called the Lee form of ω. The class of l.c.s. manifolds has attracted strong interests among geometers in recent years. For instance, Vaisman showed that l.c.s. manifolds may be viewed as phase spaces for a natural generalization of Hamiltonian dynamics [30]. Bande and Kotschick showed that a pair composed of a contact manifold and a contactomor- phism is naturally associated with a l.c.s. manifold [3] (see also Proposition 7.3 and Proposition 7.4 below). Furthermore, l.c.s. manifolds together with contact manifolds are the only transitive Jacobi manifolds [22, Remark 2.10]. It is also worth mentioning that locally conformal K¨ahler manifolds, a natural subclass of l.c.s. manifolds, are actively studied in complex geometry, e.g. see [15], [31]. Note that a l.c.s. manifold is locally conformal equivalent to a symplectic man- −f ifold, i.e. locally θ = df and ω = e ω0, dω0 = 0. By the Darboux theorem all symplectic manifolds of the same dimension are locally equivalent. Hence symplectic manifolds have only global invariants, and cohomological invariants are most natural among them. First (co)homological symplectic invariants were proposed in works by Gromov and Floer then followed by works by McDuff, Hofer and Salamon, Fukaya and Ono, Ruan, Tian, Witten and many others, including the first author of this note. This approach was based on the use of the theory of elliptic differential operators with purpose to make regular certain Morse (co)homology theory or the intersection theory on the infinite dimensional loop space on a symplectic manifold M 2n,oronthespace of holomorphic curves on M 2n. This elliptic (co)homology theory has huge success, but the computational part of the theory is quite complicated. Almost at the same time, a “linear” symplectic cohomology theory has been developed, beginning with the paper by Brylinski [5], followed by Bouche [4], and then by other peoples (see

[11], [7], [29]). This theory is mostly motivated by analogues in K¨ahler geometry, the Dolbeault theory, and the cohomology theory for differential equations developed by Vinogradov and his school. This linear symplectic cohomology theory has not yet drawn as much attention as it, to our opinion, should have. This is, probably, due to the fact that its potentially important applications are still in a phase of elaboration. The computational part of the linear theory seems to be not so complicated as in the elliptic theory, and this is an advantage of its. In our paper we further develop the linear symplectic cohomology theory and extend it to l.c.s. manifolds. This is possible due to the validity of the Lefschetz decomposition for these manifolds. The main tool is the spectral sequence developed by Di Pietro and Vinogradov for symplectic manifolds, which has been now adapted and developed further for l.c.s. manifolds. We obtain new results and applications even for symplectic manifolds. In particular we unify various isolated results of the linear symplectic cohomology theory. The structure of this note is as follows. In section 2 we introduce important linear operators on l.c.s. manifolds and study their properties. The Lefschetz filtra- tion on the space Ω∗(M 2n) of a l.c.s. manifold (M 2n,ω,θ) is discussed in section 3 together with differential operators respecting this filtration. Then we use this filtration to construct primitive cohomology groups for (M 2n,ω,θ) (Definition 3.9). Some simple properties of these groups are fixed in Proposition 3.10, Proposition 3.11 and Proposition 3.14, and their relations with previously proposed constructions are discussed (Remark 3.16). The spectral sequence associated with the Lefschetz filtration is studied in section 4. In particular, its E1-term is compared with the primitive (co)homological groups (Lemma 4.1) and the conformal invariance of this term is proven (Theorem 4.6). In section 5 we find some cohomological conditions on 2n (M ,ω,θ) under which this spectral sequence stabilizes at the Et-term (Theorems 5.2, 5.8, 5.13). The last of these theorems gives an answer to the Tseng-Yau ques- tion on relations between the primitive cohomology and the de Rham cohomology of a compact symplectic manifold. In section 6 we specialize the previous theory to K¨ahler manifolds and prove that for K¨ahler manifolds the spectral sequence stabilizes already at its first term (Theorem 6.2). In section 7 we compute the primitive coho- mology groups of a compact (2n + 2)-dimensional l.c.s. nilmanifold and a compact 4-dimensional l.c.s. solvmanifold (Propositions 7.1, 7.2). We study some properties of primitive cohomology groups of l.c.s. manifolds associated with a co-orientation pre- serving contactomorphism (Proposition 7.4). In particular, we show that the compact l.c.s. solvmanifold is associated with a non-trivial co-orientation preserving contacto- morphism (Theorem 7.6). The cohomological theory developed in this note and its analogues have a much wider area of applications. For instance, it may be naturally adopted to the class of Poisson symplectic stratified spaces introduced in [17], since these singular symplectic spaces also enjoy the Lefschetz decomposition. This project was started as a joint work of us with Alexandre Vinogradov based on H.V.L. preliminary results on l.c.s. manifolds. Alexandre Vinogradov has suggested us to extend the results to a slightly larger category of twisted symplectic manifolds. He made considerable contributions to improve the original text written by H.V.L., which we appreciate very much. Eventually we have noticed that our viewpoints are so different, so we decide to write the subject separately: in this paper we deal only with l.c.s. manifolds and Alexandre Vinogradov will deal with the extension to COHOMOLOGY THEORIES ON L.C.S. MANIFOLDS 47 twisted symplectic manifolds. 2. Basic operators on a l.c.s. manifold. In this section we introduce and study basic linear differential operators acting on differential forms on a l.c.s. manifold (M 2n,ω,θ). The first operator we need is the Lichnerowicz deformed differential dθ : Ω∗(M 2n) → Ω∗(M 2n),
(2.1) dθ(α):=dα + θ ∧ α.
2 Clearly dθ =0anddθ(ω) = 0. The resulting Lichnerowicz cohomology groups (also called the Novikov cohomology groups) are important conformal invariants of l.c.s. manifolds. Recall that two l.c.s. forms ω and ω on M 2n are conformally equivalent,if ω = ±(ef )ω for some f ∈ C∞(M 2n). In this case the corresponding Lee forms θ and θ are cohomologous: θ = θ ∓ df , hence dθ and dθ are gauge equivalent:
±f ∓f dθ (α)=(dθ ∓ df ∧)α = e d(e α).
∗ ∗ 2n ∗ ∗ 2n It follows that H (Ω (M ),dθ)andH (Ω (M ),dθ ) are isomorphic. The isomor- ∗ ∗ 2n ∗ ∗ 2n phism If : H (Ω (M ),dθ) → H (Ω (M ),dθ ) is given by the conformal transfor- mation [α] → [±ef α]. Note that dθ does not satisfy the Leibniz property, unless θ =0,since
deg α deg α (2.2) dθ(α ∧ β)=dθα ∧ β +(−1) α ∧ dβ = dα ∧ β +(−1) α ∧ dθβ.
∗ ∗ 2n Thus the cohomology group H (Ω (M ),dθ)doesnothavearingstructure, ∗ ∗ 2n ∗ unless θ = 0. The formula (2.2) also implies that H (Ω (M ),dθ)isaH (M,R)- module. Now let us consider the next basic linear operator
(2.3) L :Ω∗(M 2n) → Ω∗(M 2n),α→ ω ∧ α.
Substituting α := ω in (2.2) we obtain a nice relation between d, L and dθ
(2.4) dθL = Ld.
The identity (2.4) suggests us to consider a family of operators dkθ,whichwe abbreviate as dk if no misunderstanding occurs. We derive immediately from (2.4)
p p (2.5) dkL = L dk−p.
The following Lemma is a generalization of (2.2) and it plays an important role in our study of the spectral sequences introduced in later sections. It is obtained by straightforward calculations, so we omit its proof. Lemma 2.1. For any α, β ∈ Ω∗(M 2n) we have
deg α (2.6) dk+l(α ∧ β)=dkα ∧ β +(−1) α ∧ dlβ.
Consequently
(2.7) dkα ∧ dlβ = dk+l(α ∧ dlβ). 48 H. V. LEˆ AND J. VANZURAˇ
∗ ∗ 2n ∗ ∗ 2n Formula (2.6) yields the induced map H (Ω (M ),dk) × H (Ω (M ),dl) → ∗ ∗ 2n H (Ω (M ),dk+l). 2 2n 2n Denote by Gω the section of the bundle Λ TM such that for all x ∈ M ∗ 2n → 2n → the linear map iGω(x) : Tx M TxM ,V iV (Gω(x)), is the inverse of 2n → ∗ 2n → the map Iω : TxM Tx M ,V iV ω. Clearly Gω defines a bilinear pair- ∗ 2n ∗ 2n ∞ 2n p ing: T M × T M → C (M ). Denote by Λ Gω the associated pairing: Λp(T ∗M) × Λp(T ∗M) → C∞(M 2n). The l.c.s. form ω and the associated bi-vector p 2n 2n−p 2n field Gω define a l.c.s. star operator ∗ω :Ω (M ) → Ω (M ) as follows [5, §2.1]. ωn (2.8) ∗ :Ωp(M 2n) → Ω2n−p(M 2n),β∧∗ α := ΛpG (β,α) ∧ , ω ω ω n! for all α, β ∈ Ωp(M 2n). Using [5, Lemma 2.1.2] we get easily ∗2 (2.9) ω = Id. ∗ ∗ We define the l.c.s. adjoint L of L and the l.c.s. adjoint (dk)ω of dk with respect to the l.c.s. form ω as follows:
∗ p 2n p−2 2n p p (2.10) L :Ω (M ) → Ω (M ),α →−∗ω L ∗ω α ,
∗ p 2n → p−1 2n p → − p ∗ ∗ p (2.11) (dk)ω :Ω (M ) Ω (M ),α ( 1) ω dn+k−p ω (α ). ∗ § For symplectic manifolds our definition of (dk)ω agrees with the one in [35, 1], it is different from the one in [5, Theorem 2.2.1] by sign (-1). A section g of the bundle S2T ∗M 2n is called a compatible metric,ifthereisan almost complex structure J on M 2n such that g(X, Y )=ω(X, JY ). In this case J is called a compatible almost complex structure. Recall that the Hodge operator ∗g is defined as follows ωn (2.12) ∗ :Ωp(M 2n) → Ω2n−p(M 2n),β∧∗ α := ΛpG (β,α) ∧ , g g g n! 2 2n where Gg ∈ Γ(S TM ) is the “inverse of g”, i.e. it is defined in the same way as ∈ 2n ∗ 2n → → we define Gω above: for all x M the linear map iGg(x) : Tx M TxM, V → ∗ → iV (Gg(x)), is the inverse of the map Ig : TxM Tx M, V iV (g). We also denote p p ∗ p ∗ ∞ 2n by Λ Gg the associated pairing: Λ (T M) × Λ (T M) → C (M ) induced by Gg, p p (see also [5, p.105] for comparing Λ Gω with Λ Gg). Using [32, Lemma 5.5] we get easily ∗2 p − p p p ∈ p 2n (2.13) g(α )=( 1) α for α Ω (M ).
Lemma 2.2. 1. The space of metrics compatible with a given l.c.s. form ω ∈ Ω2(M 2n) is contractible. 2. (cf. [32, chapter II, 6.2.1]) In the presence of a compatible metric g on M 2n we have
(2.14) L∗ =Λ
−1 where Λ=(∗g) L∗g is the adjoint of L with respect to the metric g. Proof. 1. The proof for the first assertion goes in the same way as for the case of symplectic manifolds, so we omit its proof. COHOMOLOGY THEORIES ON L.C.S. MANIFOLDS 49
2. The second assertion of Lemma 2.2 is a simple consequence of the following Lemma 2.3. [5, Theorem 2.4] Assume that (M 2n,J,g) is an almost Hermitian manifold and ω is the associated almost symplectic form. For α ∈ Ωp,q(M 2n) we have
√ p−q ∗ω(α)= −1 ∗g (α).
∗ 2n Here we extend ∗ω and ∗g C-linearly on Ω (M ) ⊗ C. This completes the proof of Lemma 2.2. ∗ 2n → k 2n 2n − Let πk :Ω(M ) Ω (M ) be the projection. Denote i=0(n k)πk by A. Using well-known identities in K¨ahler geometry for (Λ,L,A), see e.g. [33, (IV), chapter I], [13, p.121], [32, Lemma 6.19], Lemma 2.2 implies immediately the following Corollary 2.4. (cf. [21, §1], [35, Corollary 1.6]) On any l.c.s. manifold (M 2n,ω,θ) we have
∗ (2.15) L = i(Gω),
(2.16) [L∗,L]=A, [A, L]=−2L, [A, L∗]=2L∗.
∗ The relation in (2.16) shows that (L ,L,A)formsasl2-triple, which has many important consequences for l.c.s. manifolds. Proposition 2.5. The following commutation relation hold
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ (2.17) L (dk)ω =(dk−1)ωL .
Proof. Clearly (2.17) is obtained from (2.5) by applying the LHS and RHS of (2.5) the l.c.s. star operator on the left and on the right, taking into account (2.9). 3. Primitive forms and primitive cohomologies. In this section we in- troduce the notions of primitive forms and coeffective forms on a l.c.s. manifold (M 2n,ω,θ), using the linear operators L and L∗ defined in the previous section. As in the symplectic case we obtain a Lefschetz decomposition of the space Ω∗(M 2n) induced by primitive forms and coeffective forms together with various linear dif- ferential operators respecting this decomposition as well as an associated filtration (Propositions 3.5 and 3.7). The natural splitting of the introduced differential op- erators according to the Lefschetz decomposition leads to new cohomology groups of (M 2n,ω,θ) (Definition 3.9). In Propositions 3.10, 3.11, 3.14 we fix simple prop- erties of these new cohomology groups. At the end of this section we compare our construction with related constructions in [21], [4], [25], [10], [35], [7], [8]. Definition 3.1. ∈ k ∗ 2n ≤ ≤ ([4], [35], cf. [33], [13]) An element α Λ Tx M ,0 k n, n−k+1 ∈ k ∗ 2n ≤ is called primitive (or effective), if L α =0.Anelementα Λ Tx M , n +1 ≤ ∈ k ∗ 2n k 2n, is called primitive,ifα =0.Anelementβ Λ Tx M is called coeffective, if Lβ =0.
Remark 3.2. 1. Wells in [34] refers to Lefschetz [18] and Weil [33] for the terminology “Lefschetz decomposition” and “primitive forms”. Many mathematicians prefer “Lepage decomposition” and “effective forms” following Lepage in [19]. 50 H. V. LEˆ AND J. VANZURAˇ
2. Clearly the notion of primitive form as well as the notion of coeffective form depends only on the conformal class of a l.c.s. form ω. The relation (2.16) between linear operators L, L∗ and A leads to Lemma 3.3 below characterizing primitive forms and coeffective forms. The resulting Lefschetz decomposition of the space ΛT ∗M 2n is a direct consequence of the sl(2)-module the- ory. Various variants of Lemma 3.3 for symplectic manifolds appeared in many works, beginning possibly with a paper by Lepage [19], with later applications in K¨ahler geometry [33], [13], [32], in a theory of second-order differential equations [21], in symplectic geometry [4], [35], etc.. k 2n k ∗ 2n We denote by Px (M ) the set of primitive elements in Λ Tx M . Lemma 3.3. ∈ k ∗ 2n ∗ 1. An element α Λ Tx M is primitive, if and only if L α =0. ∈ k ∗ 2n ∗ 2. An element β Λ Tx M is coeffective, if and only if ωβ is primitive. 3. We have the following Lefschetz decomposition for n ≥ k ≥ 0: n−k ∗ 2n n−k 2n ⊕ n−k−2 2n ⊕ 2 n−k−4 2n ⊕··· (3.1) Λ Tx M = Px (M ) LPx (M ) L Px (M ) ,
n+k ∗ 2n k n−k 2n ⊕ k+1 n−k−2 2n ⊕··· (3.2) Λ Tx M = L Px (M ) L Px (M ) .
From Lemma 3.3 we get immediately Corollary 3.4. k n−k ∗ 2n → n+k ∗ 2n 1. L :Λ Tx M Λ Tx M is an isomorphism, for 0 ≤ k ≤ n. n−k−2 ∗ 2n → n−k ∗ 2n − ··· − 2. L :Λ Tx M Λ Tx M is injective, for k = 1, 0, 1, ,n 2. It is useful to introduce the following notations. Denote by P n−kM 2n the sub- ∗ 2n n−k 2n Pn−k 2n ⊂ n−k 2n bundle in ΛT M whose fiber is Px (M ). Let (M ) Ω (M )bethe space of all smooth (n − k)-forms with values in P n−kM 2n. Elements of Pn−k(M 2n) are called primitive (n − k)-forms. Let us set (cf. [29])
(3.3) Ls,r := LsPr for 0 ≤ s, r ≤ n.
∗ 2n r 2n Put P (M ):=⊕rP (M ). Then Lemma 3.3 yields the following decompositions, which we call the first and second Lefschetz decompositions (3.4) Ω∗(M 2n)=P∗(M 2n) ⊕ LΩ∗(M 2n)= Ls,r. 0≤2s+r≤2n Now we consider the interplay between the Lefschetz decompositions (3.4) and the linear differential operators introduced in the previous section. Iterating the action of L on K∗ := Ω∗(M 2n), we define the following filtration (3.5) F 0K∗ := K∗ ⊃ F 1K∗ := LK∗ ⊃···⊃F kK∗ := LkK∗ ⊃···⊃F n+1K∗ = {0}.
k ∗ Proposition 3.5. 1. The subset F K is stable with respect to dp for all k and p. 2. For any γ ∈ Ω1(M 2n) we have

k Proof. 1. The first assertion of Proposition 3.5 follows from the identity dp(ω ∧ k ∗ 2n φ)=ω ∧ dp−kφ for φ ∈ Ω (M ). COHOMOLOGY THEORIES ON L.C.S. MANIFOLDS 51
2. Assume that α ∈Pn−k(M 2n)=L0,n−k.ThenLk+1(γ ∧ α)=γ ∧ Lk+1(α)=0. Taking into account the decomposition of γ ∧ α according to the second Lefschetz decomposition we obtain the second assertion of Proposition 3.5 immediately. k k Remark 3.6. 1. The relation dp(ω ∧ φ)=ω ∧ dp−kφ can be also interpreted ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ as an interplay between different filtered complexes (F K ,dk)and(F K ,dp). We shall investigate this interplay deeper in the next section. 2. We observe that the decompositions (3.1), (3.2) and (3.4) are compatible with the filtration (3.5) in the following sense. For any p ≥ 0and0≤ k ≤ 2n we have
[ k ]− p ∗ ∩ k 2n ⊕ 2 pLp+i,k−2p−2i ≥ (3.6) F K Ω (M )= i=0 if k 2p,
(3.7) F pK∗ ∩ Ωk(M 2n)=0ifk<2p.
The decomposition in (3.6) and (3.7) will be called the induced Lefschetz decomposi- tion. It is important for understanding the spectral sequences introduced in the next section.
Proposition 3.7. The following inclusions hold
p,q−p p,q−p+1 p+1,q−p−1 (3.8) drL ⊂L ⊕L ,
∗ Pn−k 2n ⊂Pn−k−1 2n (3.9) (dr)ω (M ) (M ).
Proof.Letβ ∈Pq(M 2n)=L0,q,soLn−q+1β = 0. We derive from (2.5)
n−q+1 n−q+1 (3.10) L drβ = dr+n−q+1L β =0.
q+1 2n q−1 2n Using (3.1) and (3.2) we get drβ ∈P (M )+LP (M ). This proves the inclusion (3.8) of Proposition 3.7 for p = 0. The inclusion (3.8) for p = 0 follows from p p the particular case p =0andtheidentitydrL = L dr−p. Assume that β ∈Pn−k(M 2n). Taking into account (2.17) we obtain
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ L (dr)ωβ =(dr−1)ωL β, ∗ which is zero since β is primitive. Hence (dr)ωβ is also primitive. This proves (3.9) and completes the proof of Proposition 3.7.
Now we will show several consequences of Proposition 3.7. Denote by Πpr the projection Ω∗(M 2n) →P∗(M 2n) according to the Lefschetz decomposition in (3.4). Set
+ dk := Πprdk. Using the first Lefschetz decomposition and Proposition 3.7 we decompose the oper- q 2n q+1 2n ator dk :Ω (M ) → Ω (M )for0≤ q ≤ n as follows (cf. [29]). + − (3.11) dk = dk + Ldk , − q 2n → q−1 2n ≤ ≤ − where dk :Ω(M ) Ω (M ), 0 q n.Notethatdk is well-defined, since L :Ωq−1(M 2n) → Ωq+1(M 2n) is injective. It is straightforward to check + Ls,r ≥ − Ls,r ⊂Ls,r−1 (3.12) dk ( )=0ifs 1, and dk ( ) . 52 H. V. LEˆ AND J. VANZURAˇ
Lemma 3.8. + − (cf. [29, Lemma 2.5, II]) The operators dk , dk−1 satisfy the follow- ing properties

+ 2 − + + − 2 − − (dk ) + L(dk dk + dk−1dk )+L dk−1dk =0. Now taking into account (3.12) and the injectivity of the operators L :Ωq(M 2n) → Ωq+2(M 2n)andL2 :Ωq−1(M 2n) → Ωq+3(M 2n)forq ≤ n−1 we obtain (3.13), (3.14), and (3.15). 2 ∗2 Finally, (3.16) is a consequence of dk =0and ω = Id. Proposition 3.7 and Lemma 3.8 lead to new cohomology groups associated with a l.c.s. manifold (M 2n,ω,θ). We observe that P∗(M 2n) is stable under the action of + ∗ − the operators dk , (dk)ω,dk . Definition 3.9. Assume that 0 ≤ q ≤ n − 1. The k-plus-primitive q-th cohomology group of (M 2n,ω,θ) is defined by

ker d− : Pq(M 2n) →Pq−1(M 2n) (3.19) Hq(P∗(M 2n),d−):= k . k − Pq+1 2n dk+1( (M ))
Now we show few simple properties of the associated cohomology groups of a l.c.s. manifold. Note that the formula (3.21) below has been proved in [29, Proposition 3.15] for compact symplectic manifold (M 2n,ω). Proposition 3.10. Assume that (M 2n,ω,θ) is a l.c.s. manifold, n ≥ 2. 1.

Since θ∧ is the symbol of d we derive from (3.34)

Using (3.23) we derive (3.40) immediately from (3.43). Clearly (3.40) follows from (3.39), since they are adjoint. This completes the proof of Lemma 3.13. The following Proposition is a generalization of [29, Proposition 3.5, part II]. Proposition 3.14. Let (M 2n,ω,θ) be a compact l.c.s manifold.

First we note that all the operators dl , dl and (dl)ω restricted to the space P∗(M 2n) are elliptic operators. This observation is a consequence of the theorem by Bouche who proved that the complex of coeffective forms on a symplectic manifold 2n P∗ 2n ∗ M is elliptic in dimension greater than n [4]. Indeed, the complex ( (M ), (d)ω) ∗ is dual to the complex of coeffective forms, see also Remark 3.16.1 below. Thus (dl)ω 56 H. V. LEˆ AND J. VANZURAˇ

P0 2n 0 2n + Proof.Notethat (M )=Ω(M )anddk = dk, which implies the first assertion of Proposition 3.15 immediately. The second assertion of Proposition 3.15 follows from Proposition 3.11 and Proposition 3.14, taking into account the equalities H0(P∗(M 2n),d)=H0(M 2n, R)=R. Remark 3.16. 1. Let (M 2n,ω,θ) be a l.c.s. manifold. The symplectic star ∗ 2n operator ∗ω provides an isomorphism between the space P M of primitive forms and the space C∗M 2n of coeffective forms. Thus H∗(P∗(M 2n)) is isomorphic to ∗ ∗ 2n H (C M ,dθ). The latter cohomology groups for symplectic manifolds have been introduced by Bouche [4]. A variant of the effective cohomology groups for contact manifolds has been introduced (and computed) by Lychagin [21] already in 1979. Later, a modification of this complex for contact manifolds has been considered by Rumin independently [25]. Chinea, Marrero and Leo generalized the construction of effective cohomology groups for Jacobi manifolds [6]. q P∗ 2n + 2. Note that the groups H ( (M ),dk ) have the following simple interpre- tation. We consider the differential ideal L(Ω∗(M 2n)) ⊂ Ω∗(M 2n). The quotient ∗ 2n ∗ 2n ∗ 2n Ω (M )/L(Ω (M )) is isomorphic to the space P (M ), and the differential dk + induces the differential dk on the quotient complex. 3. The plus-primitive cohomology groups and the minus-primitive cohomology groups for symplectic manifolds have been introduced by Tseng and Yau [29, part II]. 4. Below we shall show a deeper relation between these new cohomology groups ∗ 2n and the twisted cohomology groups H (M ,dk) using the spectral sequence intro- duced in the next section. 5. Let (M 2n+1,α) be a contact manifold. Then its symplectization M 2n+2 := M 2n+1 ×R is supplied with a symplectic form ω(x, t)=expt(dα+dt∧α)=˜α.Denote by i : M 2n+1 → M 2n+2 the embedding x → (x, 0). We observe that the restriction of the filtration on (M 2n+2,dα˜)toi(M 2n+1) coincides with the filtration introduced by Lychagin [21]. 6. Note that any symplectic manifold (M 2n,ω) is a Poisson manifold equipped with the Poisson bivector Gω. Associated with a Poisson bivector Λ on a Poisson manifold M there are two differential complexes. The first one is the complex of multivector fields on M equipped with the differential Λ acting via the Schouten bracket. It has been introduced by Lichnerowicz and the associated cohomology group is called the Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology of M [20], [10]. The second differential complex is the complex of differential forms on M equipped with the differential δ =[i(Λ),d]wherei(Λ) is the contraction with Λ. This complex has been introduced by Kozsul in [16] and it is called the canonical Poisson homology of M [5]. If M 2n is ∗ 2n 2n symplectic then Gω ∈ End(T M ,TM ) induces an isomorphism between the de Rham cohomology and Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology [10, Theorem 6.1], and the symplectic star operator provides an isomorphism between the de Rham cohomology COHOMOLOGY THEORIES ON L.C.S. MANIFOLDS 57 and the canonical Poisson homology [5]. In [10] the authors consider the coeffective Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology groups on a Poisson manifold, which are isomorphic to the coeffective symplectic groups introduced by Bouche [4] if the Poisson structure is symplectic.
4. Spectral sequences on a l.c.s. manifold. In this section, for any integer ∗ ∗ k, we construct a spectral sequence associated with the filtered complex (F K ,dk) 2m on a l.c.s. manifold (M ,ω,θ). We compare the E1-term of this spectral sequence ∗,+ ∗ 2n with the primitive cohomology group H (P (M ),dk) introduced in the previous section (Lemma 4.1). We show the existence of a long exact sequence connecting the E1-term of this spectral sequence with the Lichnerowicz-Novikov cohomology groups ∗ ∗ 2n ∗ 2n H (Ω (M ),dk+p) for appropriate p, which will be denoted by Hk+p(M )(Theorem 4.3, Proposition 4.5). We prove that the E1-term of our spectral sequence is a confor- 2n 2n mal invariant of (M ,ω,θ), moreover, the E1-terms associated with (M ,ω,θ)and 2n (M ,ω ,θ) are isomorphic, if ω = ω + dθτ (Theorem 4.6). ∗ ∗ In Proposition 3.5 of the previous section we proved that (F K ,dk)isafiltered { p,q p,q → p+r,q−r+1} complex. Let us study the spectral sequence Ek,r,dk,r : Ek,r Ek,r of this filtered complex, first introduced by Di Pietro and Vinogradov for symplectic manifolds in [7]. We refer the reader to [23], [13] for an introduction into the theory p,q of spectral sequences associated with a filtration. The initial term Ek,0 of this spectral sequence is defined as follows, p,q p p+q p+1 p+q (4.1) Ek,0 = F K /F K . Using the induced Lefschetz decomposition (3.6), (3.7), taking into account the injectivity of the map Lp :Ωq−p(M 2n) → Ωq+p(M 2n), we get for all k ∈ Z p,q ∼ Lp,q−p ∼ L0,q−p ≥ ≥ ≥ (4.2) Ek,0 = = if n q p 0,
p,q (4.3) Ek,0 = 0 otherwise .
p,q p,q p,q Since Ek,l is a quotient of Ek,l−1, in view of (4.3), any term Ek,l written below, if without explicit condition on p and q, is always under the assumption 0 ≤ p ≤ q ≤ n. p,q Now let us go to the next term Ek,1 of our spectral sequence. Recall that dk,0 : p,q → p,q+1 Ek,0 Ek,0 is obtained from the differential dk by passing to the quotient:
p,q dk,0 / p,q+1 (4.4) Ek,0 Ek,0
F pKp+q/F p+1Kp+q /F pKp+q+1/F p+1Kp+q+1
p p Let us write dk,0 explicitly using (4.2) and (4.3). Since dkL = L dk−p,using ∈ p,q ≥ ≥ ≥ (4.1), (4.2), (4.3) and (3.11) we have for any α Ek,0 with n q p 0 p + − p + ∈ p,q+1 (4.5) dk,0(α)=[L (dk−p + Ldk−p)(˜α)] = [L dk−p(˜α)] Ek,0 , ∈L0,q−p ∈ p,q p L0,q−p →Lp,q−p whereα ˜ is a representative of α Ek,0 by (4.2). Since L : is an isomorphism, if 0 ≤ p ≤ q ≤ n by (4.2), we rewrite (4.5) as follows p,q L0,q−p → p,q+1 L0,q+1−p → + (4.6) dk,0 : Ek,l = Ek,0 = k,0 , α˜ dk−pα,˜ if 0 ≤ p ≤ q ≤ n. 58 H. V. LEˆ AND J.

Lemma 4.1. ∗,∗ { p,q } The term Ek,1 of the spectral sequence Ek,r,dk,r is determined by the following relations p,q q−p P∗ 2n + ≤ ≤ ≤ − (4.7) Ek,1 = H ( (M ),dk−p) if 0 p q n 1,
Pn−p(M 2n) (4.8) Ep,n = , if 0 ≤ p ≤ n, k,1 + Pn−p−1 2n dk−p( (M ))
p,q (4.9) Ek,1 =0otherwise .
Proof. Clearly (4.7) is a consequence of (4.6). Next using (4.5) and the identity p Pn−p+1 2n p,n L ( (M )) = 0, we obtain dk,0(Ek,0 )=0.Hence
Lp(Pn−p(M 2n)) (4.10) Ep,n = . k,1 p + Pn−p−1 2n L (dk−p( (M )))
Since Lp :Ωn−p(M 2n) → Ωn+p(M 2n) is injective, (4.10) implies (4.8). The last relation (4.9) in Lemma 4.1 follows from (4.3). This completes the proof of Lemma 4.1. Next we define the following diagram of chain complexes
p q−p−1 2n L / q−p+1 2n ΠL / p,q+1 / Ω (M ) Ω (M ) El+p,0
dl−1 dl dl+p,0 p q−p 2n L / q−p+2 2n ΠL / p,q+2 / Ω (M ) Ω (M ) El+p,0
dl−1 dl dl+p,0 p q−p+1 2n L / q−p+3 2n ΠL / p,q+3 / Ω (M ) Ω (M ) El+p,0
Here the map ΠLp associates with each element β ∈ Ωq−p+1(M 2n) the element p ∈ p,q+1 ◦ ◦ [L β] El+p,0 . Recall that dl L = L dl−1. Thus the upper part of the above diagram is commutative. The lower part of the diagram is also commutative, since
p p dl+pL = L dl.
Summarizing we have the following sequence of chain complexes
p → q−(p+1) 2n →L q+1−p 2n Π→L p,q+1 → (4.11) 0 (Ω (M ),dl−1) (Ω (M ),dl) (El+p,0 ,dl+p,0) 0.
Set Ω−1(M 2n):=0. Lemma 4.2. The sequence (4.11) of chain complexes is exact for 0 ≤ p ≤ q ≤ n − 1. Proof.For0≤ p ≤ q ≤ n the operator L :Ωq−p−1(M 2n) → Ωq−p+1(M 2n) is injective by Lemma 3.4, so the sequence (4.11) is exact at Ωq−(p+1)(M 2n). The exactness at Ωq+1−p(M 2n) follows easily from Corollary 3.4, taking into account (4.2). p,q+1 p,q The exactness at El+p,0 follows directly from the definition (4.1) of El+p,0. COHOMOLOGY THEORIES ON L.C.S. MANIFOLDS 59
As a consequence of Lemma 4.2, using the general theory of homological algebra, see e.g. [12, Chapter 1, §6], we get immediately Theorem 4.3. The following long sequence is exact for 0 ≤ p ≤ q ≤ n − 1 (4.12) ¯p ¯ ¯p ···→ q−p 2n →L p,q δ→p,q q−(p+1) 2n →L q+1−p 2n →L p,q+1 →··· Hl (M ) El+p,1 Hl−1 (M ) Hl (M ) El+p,1
Remark 4.4. 1. Theorem 4.3 is a generalization of [7, Theorem 1] stated for symplectic manifolds. 2. Let us write the connecting homomorphism δp,q explicitly. If α ∈ q−p P∗ 2n + p,q H ( (M ),dl )=El+p,1, see (4.7), then dlα˜ = Lη for any representative α˜ ∈Pq−p(M 2n)ofα. By the definition of connecting homomorphism, see also [7, §3], ∈ q−(p+1) 2n + − − δp,q(α)=[η] Hl−1 (M ). Since dl α˜ =0,dlα˜ = Ldl α˜,soη = dl α˜.Thuswe get
− ∈ q−(p+1) 2n (4.13) δp,qα =[dl α˜] Hl−1 (M ).
¯p ∈ q−p 2n 3. Let us write the operator L explicitly. Assume that [β] Hl (M ), β ∈ Ωq−p(M 2n). Set
βpr := Πprβ
- the primitive component of β in the first Lefschetz decomposition. Since dlβ =0, + ¯p p ∈ p,q q−p P∗ 2n + we have dl βpr = 0. Thus the image L [β]=[L β] El+p,1 = H ( (M ),dl ) ∈Pq−p 2n + has a representative βpr (M ) with dl βpr = 0. Summarizing we have ¯p ∈ q−p P∗ 2n + p,q (4.14) L [β]=[βpr] H ( (M ),dl )=El+p,1.
4. Substituting for 0 ≤ p = q ≤ n − 1 in the long exact sequence (4.12), we get the left end of (4.12)

The same formula shows that our map [Lp+1] does not depend on the choice of a representativeα ˜ of α. Now assume p+1 p+1 n+p 2n that α ∈ ker[L ]. Then L α˜ = dl+pβ for some β ∈ Ω (M ). Using the Lefschetz decomposition for β we write
[ n+p ] 2 p k ∗ 2n β = L (β0 + L βk),βi ∈P (M ). k=1 It follows that
p+1 p + − ··· (4.26) L α˜ = dl+pβ = L (dl β0 + L(dl β0 + dl−1(β1 + Lβ2 + ))). By Corollary 3.4.1 Lp+1 :Ωn−p−1(M 2n) → Ωn+p+1(M 2n) is an isomorphism, hence we get from (4.26)
− ··· (4.27)α ˜ = dl βp + dl−1(βp+1 + Lβp+1 + ).
Combining (4.27) with (4.21) we get α ∈ Im δp,n. This proves the required exactness. Finally we show that [Lp+1] is surjective. Assume that β ∈ Ωn+p+1(M 2n)isa ∈ n+p+1 2n representative of [β] Hl+p+1 (M ). Using the Lefschetz decomposition we write p+1 ˜ ˜ ∈ n−p−1 2n p+2 − ˜ − β = L (β), β Ω (M ). Note that L dl β = Ldl+pβ =0,sincedl+pβ =0. p+2 n−p−2 2n → n+p+2 2n − ˜ Since L :Ω (M ) Ω (M ) is an isomorphism, we get dl β =0. ˜ ∈ n−p−1 p+1 ˜ Hence [β] Cl and [β]=[L ]([β]). This completes the proof of Proposition 4.5. Theorem 4.6. p,q (cf. [8, Osservazione 18]) The spectral sequences Ek,r on (M 2n,ω,θ) and on (M 2n,ω,θ) are isomorphic, if ω and ω are conformal equivalent. ∗,∗ Furthermore, the Ek,1 -terms of the spectral sequences on (M,ω,θ) and (M,ω ,θ ) are 1 2n isomorphic, if ω = ω + dθρ for some ρ ∈ Ω (M ). f Proof.Ifω = ±e ω,thendθω = df ∧ ω . Hence
(4.28) (dθ − df ∧)ω =0.
Since L :Ω1(M 2n) → Ω3(M 2n) is injective, (4.28) implies that
(4.29) dθ = dθ − df ∧ .
It follows
(4.30) dkθ = dkθ − k · df ∧ .
kf ∗ ∗ Hence the map If : α → e α is an isomorphism between complexes (F K ,dkθ)and ∗ ∗ (F K ,dkθ ), since
kf kf k·f k·f (4.31) dkθ (e α)=dkθ(e α)+(−k · df ) ∧ e α = e (dkθα). 62 H. V. LEˆ AND J. VANZURAˇ
p,q It follows that the resulting terms Ek,0 are also conformal equivalent. Moreover, the 0 map If induces an isomorphism If between complexes 0 p,q → p,q → kf If :(Ek,0,dk,0) (Ek,0,dk,0), [α] [e α]. Inductively, this proves the first assertion of Theorem 4.6. Now we assume that ω = ω + dθρ.Thendθω = 0. Using the injectivity of L :Ω1(M 2n) → Ω3(M 2n) we conclude that the Lee form of ω is equal to the Lee form θ of ω.DenotebyL the wedge product with ω,andby[L] the induced operator ∗ 2n − on Hl (M ). Using ω ω = dθρ and applying (2.6), which implies that the wedge k 2n product with dθρ maps Hl (M ) to zero, we conclude that the operators L and L k 2n → k+2 2n induce the same map Hl (M ) Hl+1 (M ). To prove the second assertion of Theorem 4.6 we use the following version of Five Lemma, whose proof is obvious and hence omitted.
Lemma 4.7. Assume that the following diagram of vector spaces Ai,Bi over a field F is commutative. If the rows are exact and A1 → B1, A2 → B2, A4 → B4, A5 → B5 are isomorphisms, then there is an isomorphism from A3 to B3, which also commutes with the other arrows. / / / / A1 A2 A3 A4 A5

p,q The second assertion of Theorem 4.6 for Ek,1 follows immediately from the long exact sequence (4.12) and the formula (4.31), if 0 ≤ p ≤ q ≤ n−1, taking into account Lemma 4.1. p,n ≤ ≤ − To examine the term Ek,1 ,0 p n 1, we need the following Lemma 4.8. Assume that ω = ω + dθρ.For0 ≤ p ≤ n there are linear maps n−p n−p → n−p Bl : Cl (ω) Cl (ω ) such that the following two diagrams are commutative. (The symbol I denotes the identity mapping. The other mapping are defined in the proof.) [L] [Lp+1] n−(p+2) 2n / n−p n−(p+1) / n+p+1 2n Hl−1 (M ) Cl (ω) Cl−1 (ω) Hl+p (M )
n−p n−p−1 I B Bl−1 I l [L ] [L p+1] n−(p+2) 2n / n−p n−(p+1) / n+p+1 2n Hl−1 (M ) Cl (ω ) Cl−1 (ω ) Hl+p (M ) Proof. Let us define first a linear mapping ˜n−p − ∩ n−p 2n → n−p 2n Bl :kerdl (ω) Ω (M ) Ω (M ). ∈ − ∩ n−p 2n + Let η ker dl Ω (M ). This means that dlη = dl η or equivalently that dlη p is primitive. The last assertion is again equivalent to the equality ω ∧ dlη =0. Since (L)p :Ωn−p(M 2n) → Ωn+p(M 2n) is an isomorphism, there is a unique η ∈ Ωn−p(M 2n) such that
p p ρ ∧ (d ρ)i−1 ∧ ωp−i ∧ d η = ωp ∧ η. i θ l i=1 COHOMOLOGY THEORIES ON L.C.S. MANIFOLDS 63
˜n−p Now we define Bl by ˜n−p − Bl η := η η . We shall now prove that the element dl(η − η )isω -primitive.
p p p ω ∧ dl(η − η )=−ω ∧ dlη +(ω + d1ρ) ∧ dlη = p p p p i p−i = −d + (ω ∧ η )+ω ∧ d η + (d1ρ) ∧ ω ∧ d η = p l l i l i=1 p p p i−1 p−i = −d + (ω ∧ η )+d + ρ ∧ (d1ρ) ∧ ω ∧ d η = p l p l i l i=1 p p p i−1 p−i = d + − ω ∧ η + ρ ∧ (d1ρ) ∧ ω ∧ d η =0. p l i l i=1
˜n−p − ∩ n−p 2n − ∩ In other words we have proved that Bl maps ker dl Ω (M )intoker(d )l n−p 2n − Ω (M ), where (d )l is defined via the Lefschetz decomposition corresponding to ω. n−p−1 2n Let us take now an element η ∈ dlΩ (M ), i. e. η = dlγ,whereγ ∈ n−p−1 2n p Ω (M ). Then dlη =0andwehaveω ∧η = 0, which implies η =0.Wethus ˜n−p ˜n−p n−p−1 2n get Bl η = η. ConsequentlywehaveprovedthatBl maps dl(Ω (M )) ˜n−p into itself. Now it is obvious that Bl induces a linear mapping n−p n−p → n−p Bl : Cl (ω) Cl (ω ). Next we shall investigate the first diagram. First we define the mapping [L]. ∈ n−(p+2) 2n ∈ n−(p+2) 2n If [β] Hl−1 (M ), then we have an element β Ω (M ) such that dl−1β =0.Letusset [L][β]:=[ω ∧ β].
It is easy to see that this definition depends only on the cohomology class [β] ∈ n−p−2 2n ˜ Hl−1 (M ). Namely, if β = β + dl−1γ,then
ω ∧ (β + dl−1γ)=ω ∧ β + dl(ω ∧ γ), which shows that [L][β˜]=[L][β]. Similarly we define [L]. Let us take [β] ∈ n−(p+2) 2n Hl−1 (M ). Then dl−1β = 0, and we have p p i−1 p−i ρ ∧ (d1ρ) ∧ ω ∧ d (ω ∧ β)= i l i=1 p p i−1 p−i = ρ ∧ (d1ρ) ∧ ω ∧ (d1ω ∧ β + ω ∧ d −1β)=0. i l i=1 p ∧ n−p n−p ∧ We have 0 = ω η , which implies η =0.ThuswegetBl [L][β]=Bl [ω β]= [ω ∧ β − 0] = [ω ∧ β]. On the other hand we compute
[L ][β]=[ω ∧ β]=[(ω + d1ρ) ∧ β)] = [ω ∧ β]+[d1ρ ∧ β + ρ ∧ dl−1β]=
=[ω ∧ β]+[dl(ρ ∧ β)] = [ω ∧ β]. 64 H. V. LEˆ AND J. VANZURAˇ
We have thus shown that that the first diagram is commutative. We continue now with the second diagram. Again we define first the mapping p+1 ∈ n−(p+1) ∈ n−(p+1) 2n [L ]. For [η] Cl−1 (ω) there is a representative η Ωl−1 (M ) such that − + dl−1η = 0. This means that dl−1 = dl−1η. We compute
p+1 p+1 p+1 p+1 dl+p(ω ∧ η)=d(p+1)+(l−1)(ω ∧ η)=dp+1(ω ) ∧ η + ω ∧ dl−1η = p+1 ∧ + = ω dl−1η =0. + The last term vanishes because the form dl−1η is primitive. Finally let us suppose that η = dl−1γ.Thenwehave
p+1 p+1 p+1 p+1 ω ∧ dl−1γ = dp+1(ω ) ∧ γ + ω ∧ dl−1γ = d(p+1)+(l−1)(ω ∧ γ). This shows that we can define [Lp+1] by the formula
[Lp+1][η]:=[ωp+1 ∧ η].
Now we are going to prove the commutativity of the second diagram. For [η] ∈ n−(p+1) n−p−1 − Cl−1 (ω)wehaveBl−1 [η]=[η η ], where η is uniquely determined by the equality
