$L^1$ cohomology of bounded subanalytic manifolds

Algebraic Geometry 2010-11-10 v1

Abstract

We prove some de Rham theorems on bounded subanalytic submanifolds of Rn\R^n (not necessarily compact). We show that the L1L^1 cohomology of such a submanifold is isomorphic to its singular homology. In the case where the closure of the underlying manifold has only isolated singularities this implies that the L1L^1 cohomology is Poincar\'e dual to LL^\infty cohomology (in dimension j<m1j <m-1). In general, Poincar\'e duality is related to the so-called L1L^1 Stokes' Property. For oriented manifolds, we show that the L1L^1 Stokes' property holds if and only if integration realizes a nondegenerate pairing between L1L^1 and LL^\infty forms. This is the counterpart of a theorem proved by Cheeger on L2L^2 forms.
