The conjecture asserts that the integrand of any such integral can be expressed as a linear combination of a local con- formal invariant, a divergence and of the Chern–Gauss–Bonnet integrand. The present paper provides a proof of certain purely algebraic state- ments announced in our previous work and whose rather technical proof was deferred to this paper; the lemmas proven here serve to reduce “main algebraic propositions” to certain technical inductive statements. 1.

Introduction This paper complements our earlier work [A 2010, 2011, 2012] in proving a conjec- ture of Deser and Schwimmer[1993] regarding the algebraic structure of “global conformal invariants”. It provides a (rather technical) proof of certain lemmas announced in [A 2010, 2012]. MSC2010: primary 53A55, 53B20; secondary 53A30. Keywords: conformal invariant, global conformal invariant, Deser–Schwimmer conjecture, Riemannian invariant. 1 2 SPYROSALEXAKIS We recall that a global conformal invariant is an integral of a natural scalar- R valued function of Riemannian metrics, Mn P.g/ dVg, which remains invariant under conformal rescalings of the underlying metric.1 More precisely, P.g/ is P l l assumed to be a linear combination, P.g/ D l2L alC .g/, where each C .g/ is a complete contraction in the form (1-1) contrl r.m1/ R ⊗ · · · ⊗ r.ms / RI here each factor r.m/ R stands for the mth iterated covariant derivative of the cur- vature tensor R, r is the Levi-Civita connection of the metric g and R is the curvature associated to this connection. The contractions are taken with respect to the quadratic form gi j . In the present paper, along with [A 2011, 2012], we prove: P l l Theorem. Assume that P.g/ D l2L alC .g/, where each C .g/ is a complete contraction in the form (1-1), with weight −n. Assume that for every closed Rie- mannian manifold .Mn; g/ and every φ 2 C1.Mn/, Z Z 2φ P.e g/ dVe2φ g D P.g/ dVg: Mn Mn We claim that P.g/ can then be expressed in the form i P.g/ D W.g/ C divi T .g/ C Pfaff.Rijkl/: Here W.g/ stands for a local conformal invariant of weight −n (meaning that 2φ −nφ 1 n i W.e g/ D e W.g/ for every φ 2 C .M /), divi T .g/ is the divergence of a Riemannian vector field of weight −n C 1, and Pfaff.Rijkl/ is the Pfaffian of the curvature tensor. Before we discuss the position of the present paper in the entire work [A 2010, 2011, 2012] we digress to describe the relation between the present series of papers with classical and recent work on scalar local invariants in various geometries. Broad discussion. The theory of local invariants of Riemannian structures (and indeed, of more general geometries, such as conformal, projective, or CR) has a long history. As discussed in[A 2012], the original foundations of this field were laid in the work of Hermann Weyl and Élie Cartan; see[Weyl 1939; Cartan 1896]. The task of writing out local invariants of a given geometry is intimately connected with understanding polynomials in a space of tensors with given symmetries; these polynomials are required to remain invariant under the action of a Lie group on the components of the tensors. In particular, the problem of writing down all local Riemannian invariants reduces to understanding the invariants of the orthogonal group. 1See the introduction of[A 2012] for a detailed discussion of the Deser–Schwimmer conjecture, and for background on scalar Riemannian invariants. DECOMPOSITIONOFGLOBALCONFORMALINVARIANTS 3 In more recent times, a major program was laid out by C. Fefferman[1976] aimed at finding all scalar local invariants in CR geometry. This was motivated by the problem of understanding the local invariants that appear in the asymptotic ex- pansion of the Bergman and Szego˝ kernels of strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds, in a similar way to Riemannian invariants that appear in the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel; the study of the local invariants in the singularities of these kernels led to important breakthroughs in[Bailey et al. 1994b] and more recently by Hirachi[2000]. This program was later extended to conformal geometry in [Fefferman and Graham 1985]. Both these geometries belong to a broader class of structures, the parabolic geometries; these admit a principal bundle whose struc- ture group is a parabolic subgroup P of a semisimple Lie group G, and a Cartan connection on that principle bundle (see the introduction in[ Capˇ and Gover 2002]). An important question in the study of these structures is the problem of constructing all their local invariants, which can be thought of as the natural, intrinsic scalars of these structures. In the context of conformal geometry, the first (modern) landmark in understand- ing local conformal invariants was the work of Fefferman and Graham[1985], where they introduced the ambient metric. This allows one to construct local n conformal invariants of any order in odd dimensions, and up to order 2 in even dimensions. The question is then whether all invariants arise via this construction. The subsequent work of Bailey–Eastwood–Graham[1994b] proved that this is indeed true in odd dimensions; in even dimensions, they proved that the result holds when the weight (in absolute value) is bounded by the dimension.

It argues that Chern’s and Hua’s motivations and choices in regard to their transnational movements between China and the US were more nuanced and multifaceted than what is presented in existing accounts, and that socio-political factors combined with professional-personal ones to shape their decisions. The paper further uses their experiences to demonstrate the importance of transnational scientific interactions for the development of science in China, the US, and elsewhere in the twentieth century. Keywords: Shiing-shen Chern, Chen Xingshen, Hua Luogeng, Loo-Keng Hua, Institute for 1 This article was copy-edited by Charlie Zaharoff. 2 Research interests: History of science and technology in the United States, China, and transnational contexts in the twentieth century.

Blaine Lawson - Chairperson of Defense Distinguished Professor, Department of Mathematics Kenji Fukaya - Member Professor, Department of Mathematics Martin Rocek - Outside Member Professor, Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics This dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School. Eric Wertheimer Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation On the characterization of rational homotopy types and Chern classes of closed almost complex manifolds by Aleksandar Milivojevic Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University 2021 The homotopy theory of rationalized simply connected spaces was shown by Quillen to be encoded algebraically in differential graded Lie algebras in his seminal work on ra- tional homotopy theory. Motivated by this theory and Whitney’s treatment of differential forms on arbitrary complexes, Sullivan described a theory of computable algebraic models for rational homotopy types in terms of differential graded algebras of differential forms in his "Infinitesimal Computations in Topology". Following a challenge posed therein, we give a characterization of the possible simply connected rational homotopy types, along with a choice of rational Chern classes and fundamental class, realized by closed almost complex manifolds in complex dimensions three and greater, with a caveat in complex dimensions congruent to 2 mod 4 depending on the first Chern class.
