Frölicher Spectral Sequence
In mathematics, the Frölicher spectral sequence (often misspelled as Fröhlicher) is a tool in the theory of complex manifolds, for expressing the potential failure of the results of cohomology theory that are valid in general only for Kähler manifolds. It was introduced by . A spectral sequence is set up, the degeneration of which would give the results of Hodge theory and Dolbeault's theorem In mathematics, in particular in algebraic geometry and differential geometry, Dolbeault cohomology (named after Pierre Dolbeault) is an analog of de Rham cohomology for complex manifolds.

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Complex Manifold
In differential geometry and complex geometry, a complex manifold is a manifold with an atlas of charts to the open unit disc in \mathbb^n, such that the transition maps are holomorphic. The term complex manifold is variously used to mean a complex manifold in the sense above (which can be specified as an integrable complex manifold), and an almost complex manifold. Implications of complex structure Since holomorphic functions are much more rigid than smooth functions, the theories of smooth and complex manifolds have very different flavors: compact complex manifolds are much closer to algebraic varieties than to differentiable manifolds. For example, the Whitney embedding theorem tells us that every smooth ''n''-dimensional manifold can be embedded as a smooth submanifold of R2''n'', whereas it is "rare" for a complex manifold to have a holomorphic embedding into C''n''. Consider for example any compact connected complex manifold ''M'': any holomorphic function on it is cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cohomology Theory
In mathematics, specifically in homology theory and algebraic topology, cohomology is a general term for a sequence of abelian groups, usually one associated with a topological space, often defined from a cochain complex. Cohomology can be viewed as a method of assigning richer algebraic invariants to a space than homology. Some versions of cohomology arise by dualizing the construction of homology. In other words, cochains are functions on the group of chains in homology theory. From its beginning in topology, this idea became a dominant method in the mathematics of the second half of the twentieth century. From the initial idea of homology as a method of constructing algebraic invariants of topological spaces, the range of applications of homology and cohomology theories has spread throughout geometry and algebra. The terminology tends to hide the fact that cohomology, a contravariant theory, is more natural than homology in many applications. At a basic level, this has to do w ...

Kähler Manifold
In mathematics and especially differential geometry, a Kähler manifold is a manifold with three mutually compatible structures: a complex structure, a Riemannian structure, and a symplectic structure. The concept was first studied by Jan Arnoldus Schouten and David van Dantzig in 1930, and then introduced by Erich Kähler in 1933. The terminology has been fixed by André Weil. Kähler geometry refers to the study of Kähler manifolds, their geometry and topology, as well as the study of structures and constructions that can be performed on Kähler manifolds, such as the existence of special connections like Hermitian Yang–Mills connections, or special metrics such as Kähler–Einstein metrics. Every smooth complex projective variety is a Kähler manifold. Hodge theory is a central part of algebraic geometry, proved using Kähler metrics. Definitions Since Kähler manifolds are equipped with several compatible structures, they can be described from different points of view: ...

Spectral Sequence
In homological algebra and algebraic topology, a spectral sequence is a means of computing homology groups by taking successive approximations. Spectral sequences are a generalization of exact sequences, and since their introduction by , they have become important computational tools, particularly in algebraic topology, algebraic geometry and homological algebra. Discovery and motivation Motivated by problems in algebraic topology, Jean Leray introduced the notion of a sheaf (mathematics), sheaf and found himself faced with the problem of computing sheaf cohomology. To compute sheaf cohomology, Leray introduced a computational technique now known as the Leray spectral sequence. This gave a relation between cohomology groups of a sheaf and cohomology groups of the direct image of a sheaf, pushforward of the sheaf. The relation involved an infinite process. Leray found that the cohomology groups of the pushforward formed a natural chain complex, so that he could take the cohomolo ...

Hodge Theory
In mathematics, Hodge theory, named after W. V. D. Hodge, is a method for studying the cohomology groups of a smooth manifold ''M'' using partial differential equations. The key observation is that, given a Riemannian metric on ''M'', every cohomology class has a canonical representative, a differential form that vanishes under the Laplacian operator of the metric. Such forms are called harmonic. The theory was developed by Hodge in the 1930s to study algebraic geometry, and it built on the work of Georges de Rham on de Rham cohomology. It has major applications in two settings: Riemannian manifolds and Kähler manifolds. Hodge's primary motivation, the study of complex projective varieties, is encompassed by the latter case. Hodge theory has become an important tool in algebraic geometry, particularly through its connection to the study of algebraic cycles. While Hodge theory is intrinsically dependent upon the real and complex numbers, it can be applied to questions in nu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dolbeault's Theorem
In mathematics, in particular in algebraic geometry and differential geometry, Dolbeault cohomology (named after Pierre Dolbeault) is an analog of de Rham cohomology for complex manifolds. Let ''M'' be a complex manifold. Then the Dolbeault cohomology groups H^(M, \Complex) depend on a pair of integers ''p'' and ''q'' and are realized as a subquotient of the space of complex differential forms of degree (''p'',''q''). Construction of the cohomology groups Let Ω''p'',''q'' be the vector bundle of complex differential forms of degree (''p'',''q''). In the article on complex differential form, complex forms, the Dolbeault operator is defined as a differential operator on smooth sections :\bar:\Omega^\to\Omega^ Since :\bar^2=0 this operator has some associated cohomology. Specifically, define the cohomology to be the quotient space (linear algebra), quotient space :H^(M,\Complex)=\frac .

Hodge–de Rham Spectral Sequence
In mathematics, the Hodge–de Rham spectral sequence (named in honor of W. V. D. Hodge and Georges de Rham) is an alternative term sometimes used to describe the Frölicher spectral sequence (named after Alfred Frölicher, who actually discovered it). This spectral sequence describes the precise relationship between the Dolbeault cohomology and the de Rham cohomology of a general complex manifold. On a compact Kähler manifold, the sequence degenerates, thereby leading to the Hodge decomposition of the de Rham cohomology. Description of the spectral sequence The spectral sequence is as follows: :H^q(X, \Omega^p) \Rightarrow H^(X, \mathbf C) where ''X'' is a complex manifold, H^(X, \mathbf C) is its cohomology with complex coefficients and the left hand term, which is the E_1-page of the spectral sequence, is the cohomology with values in the sheaf of holomorphic differential forms. The existence of the spectral sequence as stated above follows from the Poincaré lemma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
