Abstract

We introduce a new spectral sequence for the study of K\mathcal{K}-manifolds which arises by restricting the spectral sequence of a Riemannian foliation to forms invariant under the flows of {ξ1,...,ξs}\{\xi_1,...,\xi_s\}. We use this sequence to generalize a number of theorems from KK-contact geometry to K\mathcal{K}-manifolds. Most importantly we compute the cohomology ring and harmonic forms of S\mathcal{S}-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 S\mathcal{S}-manifolds are a topological invariant. We also show that the basic Hodge numbers of S\mathcal{S}-manifolds are invariant under deformations. Finally, we provide similar results for C\mathcal{C}-manifolds.
