Hard Lefschetz actions in Riemannian geometry with special holonomy

Abstract

It is known that the hard Lefschetz action, together with K\"ahler identities for K\"ahler (resp. hyperk\"ahler) manifolds, determines a su(1,1)sup\mathfrak{su}(1,1)_{sup} (resp. sp(1,1)sup\mathfrak{sp}(1,1)_{sup}) Lie superalgebra action on differential forms. In this paper, we explain the geometric origin of this action, and we also generalize it to manifolds with other holonomy groups. For semi-flat Calabi-Yau (resp. hyperk\"ahler) manifolds, these symmetries can be enlarged to a so(2,2)sup\mathfrak{so}(2,2)_{sup} (resp. su(2,2)sup\mathfrak{su}(2,2)_{sup}) action.
