Abstract

Given a contact manifold M_# together with a transversal infinitesimal automorphism ξ\xi, we show that any local leaf space MM for the foliation determined by ξ\xi naturally carries a conformally symplectic (cs-) structure. Then we show that the Rumin complex on M_# descends to a complex of differential operators on MM, whose cohomology can be computed. Applying this construction locally, one obtains a complex intrinsically associated to any manifold endowed with a cs-structure, which recovers the generalization of the so-called Rumin-Seshadri complex to the conformally symplectic setting. The cohomology of this more general complex can be computed using the push-down construction.

13 pages v2: added reference [7] to earlier construction of the Rumin-Seshadri complex in a conformally symplectic setting; changed terminonolgy from "locally conformally symplectic" to "conformally symplectic"; some other minor changes; finaly version to appear in Differential Geom. Appl
