Abstract

We study Dolbeault--Koszul cohomology Hp,q(M)H^{p,q}(M) of flat affine manifolds. We proove a K\"unneth formula Hp,q(M×N)i,jHi,j(M)Hpi,qj(N) H^{p,q}(M\times N) \cong \bigoplus_{i,j} H^{i,j}(M)\otimes H^{p-i,q-j}(N) for flat affine manifolds M,NM,N with at least one compact. For compact manifolds we also give a proof via Hodge theory on flat affine manifolds, analogous to the classical K\"unneth formula for Dolbeault cohomology. We apply this formula to Hessian manifolds. A Hessian metric gg defines a class [g]H1,1(M)[g]\in H^{1,1}(M), and metrics in the same class differ by DαD\alpha for a closed 11-form α\alpha. Using the K\"unneth formula we describe all Hessian metrics on products, on products with hyperbolic manifolds, and on manifolds admitting a flat Riemannian metric.
