Abstract
We introduce a new spectral sequence for the study of -manifolds which arises by restricting the spectral sequence of a Riemannian foliation to forms invariant under the flows of . We use this sequence to generalize a number of theorems from -contact geometry to -manifolds. Most importantly we compute the cohomology ring and harmonic forms of -manifolds in terms of primitive basic cohomology and primitive basic harmonic forms (respectively). As an immediate consequence of this we get that the basic cohomology of -manifolds are a topological invariant. We also show that the basic Hodge numbers of -manifolds are invariant under deformations. Finally, we provide similar results for -manifolds.
