Hochschild Cohomology Theories in White Noise Analysis
2008
We show that the continuous Hochschild cohomology and the differential Hochschild cohomology of the Hida test algebra endowed with the normalized Wick product are the same.
Holomorphic de Rham Cohomology
2017
We are going to define a natural comparison isomorphism between algebraic de Rham cohomology and singular cohomology of varieties over the complex numbers with coefficients in \(\mathbb {C}\). The link is provided by holomorphic de Rham cohomology, which we study in this chapter.
Closed star products and cyclic cohomology
1992
We define the notion of a closed star product. A (generalized) star product (deformation of the associative product of functions on a symplectic manifold W) is closed iff integration over W is a trace on the deformed algebra. We show that for these products the cyclic cohomology replaces the Hochschild cohomology in usual star products. We then define the character of a closed star product as the cohomology class (in the cyclic bicomplex) of a well-defined cocycle, and show that, in the case of pseudodifferential operators (standard ordering on the cotangent bundle to a compact Riemannian manifold), the character is defined and given by the Todd class, while in general it fails to satisfy t…
The cup product of Hilbert schemes for K3 surfaces
2003
To any graded Frobenius algebra A we associate a sequence of graded Frobenius algebras A [n] so that there is canonical isomorphism of rings (H *(X;ℚ)[2]) [n] ≅H *(X [n] ;ℚ)[2n] for the Hilbert scheme X [n] of generalised n-tuples of any smooth projective surface X with numerically trivial canonical bundle.
Schubert calculus and singularity theory
2010
Abstract Schubert calculus has been in the intersection of several fast developing areas of mathematics for a long time. Originally invented as the description of the cohomology of homogeneous spaces, it has to be redesigned when applied to other generalized cohomology theories such as the equivariant, the quantum cohomology, K -theory, and cobordism. All this cohomology theories are different deformations of the ordinary cohomology. In this note, we show that there is, in some sense, the universal deformation of Schubert calculus which produces the above mentioned by specialization of the appropriate parameters. We build on the work of Lerche Vafa and Warner. The main conjecture these auth…
A star product in lattice gauge theory
1993
Abstract We consider a variant of the cup product of simplicial cochains and its applications in discrete formulations of non-abelian gauge theory. The standard geometrical ingredients in the continuum theory all have natural analogues on a simplicial complex when this star product is used to translate the wedge product of differential forms. Although the star product is non-associative, it is graded-commutative, and the coboundary operator acts as a deviation on the star algebra. As such, it is reminiscent of the star product considered in some approaches to closed string field theory, and we discuss applications to the three dimensional non-abelian Chern-Simons theory.
