This paper studies the geometry of the group of all co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact cosymplectic manifold $(M, \omega, \eta)$. The fix-point theory for co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is studied, and we use Arnold's conjecture to…

As is well-known, the Witten deformation of the De Rham complex computes the De Rham cohomology. In this paper we study the Witten deformation on a noncompact manifold and restrict it to differential forms which behave polynomially near…

In this thesis, we study cohomological properties of non-K\"ahler manifolds. In particular, we are concerned in investigating the cohomology of compact (almost-)complex manifolds, and of manifolds endowed with special structures, e.g.,…

We study the tangential Poisson cohomology (TP-cohomology) of regular Poisson manifolds, first defined by Lichnerowicz using contravariant tensor fields. We show that for a regular Poisson manifold M, the TP-cohomology coincides with the…

The Ricci curvature equations are a central subject of study in geometry. However, in the smooth real case, their linear analysis is often confined to settings in which the background metric is Einstein. In this paper, we establish…

For a smooth Morse-Smale vector field with Lyapunov constraints (Lyapunov function) one shows how and why the non-triviality of the cohomology, as concluded from its additive structure, detects rest points and the multiplicative structure…

We present a spectral sequence for free isometric Lie algebra actions (and consequently locally free isometric Lie group actions) which relates the de Rham cohomology of the manifold with the Lie algebra cohomology and basic cohomology…

We construct Hamiltonian Floer complexes associated to continuous, and even lower semi-continuous, time dependent exhaustion functions on geometrically bounded symplectic manifolds. We further construct functorial continuation maps…

We compute the moduli of endomorphisms of the de Rham and crystalline cohomology functors, viewed as a cohomology theory on smooth schemes over truncated Witt vectors. As applications of our result, we deduce Drinfeld's refinement of the…

Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson have recently shown that the computation of the equivariant cohomology ring of a G-manifold can be reduced to a computation in graph theory. This opens up the possibility that many of the fundamental…

We say that a complex analytic space, $X$, is an intersection cohomology manifold if and only if the shifted constant sheaf on $X$ is isomorphic to intersection cohomology; this is quickly seen to be equivalent to $X$ being a homology…

Taking the l^1-completion and the topological dual of the singular chain complex gives rise to l^1-homology and bounded cohomology respectively. In contrast to l^1-homology, major structural properties of bounded cohomology are well…

Following T.-J. Li, W. Zhang [Comparing tamed and compatible symplectic cones and cohomological properties of almost complex manifolds, Comm. Anal. Geom.], we continue to study the link between the cohomology of an almost-complex manifold…

Let $(X,g)$ be a compact Riemannian stratified space with simple edge singularity. Thus a neighbourhood of the singular stratum is a bundle of truncated cones over a lower dimensional compact smooth manifold. We calculate the various…

We classify cohomogeneity one actions on smooth, simply connected, closed manifolds with the rational cohomology of a sphere. In particular, we show that such a manifold is diffeomorphic to a sphere, a Brieskorn variety, the Wu manifold…

On the basis of Brylinski's work, we introduce a notion of equivariant smooth Deligne cohomology group, which is a generalization of both the ordinary smooth Deligne cohomology and the ordinary equivariant cohomology. Using the cohomology…

The paper is devoted to the study of homotopy properties of stabilizers of smooth functions on oriented surfaces, i.e., groups of diffeomorphisms of surfaces preserving a given function. For some class of smooth functions which is a…

For a smooth scheme over a perfect field of characteristic p>0, we generalise a definition of Bloch and introduce overconvergent de Rham-Witt connections. This provides a tool to extend the comparison morphisms of Davis, Langer and Zink…

We introduce new finite-dimensional cohomologies on symplectic manifolds. Each exhibits Lefschetz decomposition and contains a unique harmonic representative within each class. Associated with each cohomology is a primitive cohomology…

We consider two categories related to symplectic manifolds: 1. Objects are symplectic manifolds and morphisms are symplectic embeddings. 2. Objects are symplectic manifolds endowed with compatible almost complex structure and morphisms are…
