In Chapter One we have defined characteristic classes and numbers. A natural question is hoe to compute these characteristic numbers. Let ω be a characteristic form on an even dimensional smooth closed oriented manifold M. If
ω=ω[1]+ω[2]+⋯+ω[dimM],ω[i]∈Ωi(M),i=1,⋯,dimM, then the characteristic number associated ω is defined by ∫Mω=∫Mω[dimM]. The Bott’s result shows that
∫Mω[dimM]=∑p∈Aμ(P),
where A is the fixed point set of M under the lie group S1 action, μ is a function on A. 1. Berline-Vergne Localization Formula
Let M be an even dimensional smooth closed oriented manifold. We assume that M admits an S1-(right)action. On M, S1-(right)action is defined by a smooth map
ϕ: M×S1→M,ϕ(P,a)=Pa,for any a∈S1 such that for any a,b∈S1, P∈M
- P1=ϕ(P,1)=P;
- (Pa)b=P(ab).
˜gTM=∫a∈S1a∗gTM.
For any P∈M, the map P: S1→M, P(a)=Pa, gives a curve on M. By S1 is a Lie group, using the exponent map this curve can be parameterize. Let t∈Lie(S1) be a generator of the Lie algebra of S1. then the above curve is
γP(ϵ)=ϕ(P,exp(ϵt))=Pexp(ϵt).Take K(P)=γ′P(0)=(γP)∗∂∂ϵ|ϵ=0. Then we obtain a vector field K on M, and for any f∈C∞(M),
KPf=ddϵf(Pexp(ϵt))|ϵ=0, for any P∈M.
By the S1-action preserves gTM, K is a Killing vector field on M(see[Chen, Li. Rie.Geo., Beijing university]). Let ∇E be Levi-Civita connection associated gTM. Then for any X,Y∈Γ(TM),
⟨∇TMXK,Y⟩+⟨∇TMYK,X⟩=0,i.e.,
⟨(∇TMK)(X),Y⟩+⟨(∇TMK)(Y),X⟩=0.It means ∇TMK is a antisymmetric operator on Γ(TM). Now we prove this fact. Let LK denote the Lie derivative of K on Γ(TM). Since the S1-action preserves gTM and the integral curve of K is γP, LK also preserves gTM, i.e., LKgTM=0. For any X,Y∈Γ(TM), one has
⟨∇TMXK,Y⟩+⟨∇TMYK,X⟩=⟨[X,K]+∇TMKX,Y⟩+⟨X,[Y,K]+∇TMKY⟩=⟨−LKX,Y⟩+⟨X,−LKY⟩+K⟨X,Y⟩=⟨−LKX,Y⟩+⟨X,−LKY⟩+LK⟨X,Y⟩=(LKgTM)(X,Y)=0.
In fact, K is a Killing vector field if and only if (1) holds.
We still denote the Lei derivative of K on Ω∗(M) by LK. The following Cartan homotopy formula on Ω∗M is well-known,
LK=diK+iKd,where iK: Ω∗M→Ω∗−1M,
iK(ω1∧⋯∧ωk)=k∑j=1(−1)j−1ω1∧⋯ˆωj∧⋯∧ωk.Let Ω∗K(M)={ω∈Ω∗K(M):LKω=0} be the subspace of LK-invariant form. Set
dK=d+ik:Ω∗(M)→Ω∗(M). Then, by d2=0 and i2K=0 one has
d2K=diK+iKd=LK. Thus dK preserves Ω∗K(M) and d2K|Ω∗K(M)=0. The corresponding cohomology group
H∗K(M)=kerdK|Ω∗K(M)ImdK|Ω∗K(M) is called the S1 equivariant cohomology of M.
Now, consider any element ω∈Ω∗(M). We say ω is dK-closed if dKω=0. The equivariant localization formula duo to Berline-Vergne(or Atiyah-Bott) shows that the integration of a dK-closed differential form over M can be localized to the zero set of the Killing vector field K.
zero{K}=∅⇔ the fixed point set of M under S1-action is empty.
LK(θ(X))=LK(iXθ)=LK⟨X,K⟩.i.e.,
(LKθ)(X)+θ(LKX)=⟨LKK,X⟩+⟨LKX,K⟩=iLKXθ=θ(LKX).
Thus LKθ=0. one then sees that dKθ is dK-closed.
By ω is dK-closed, for any T≥0 one has
∫Mωexp(−TdKθ)=∫Mω[1+∞∑i=1(−1)ii!Ti(dKθ)i]=∫Mω+∫Mω∧dK[∞∑i=1(−1)ii!Tiθ∧(dKθ)i−1]=∫Mω+(−1)deg(ω)∫MdK[ω∧∞∑i=1(−1)ii!Tiθ∧(dKθ)i−1]=∫Mω.
Otherwise,
∫Mωexp(−Tdkθ)=∫Mωexp[−T(dθ+iKθ)]=∫Mωexp[−T(dθ+|k|2)]=∫M(ωexp(−T|K|2))[dimM/2∑i=1(−1)ii!Ti(dθ)i].
And, as K has no zeros on M, |K| has a positive lower bound δ>0 on M. By M is closed, one sees easily that
∫M(ωexp(−T|K|2))[dimM/2∑i=1(−1)ii!Ti(dθ)i]→0, as T→0.Thus
∫Mω=0.
In the previous discussion we considered the case of zero(K)=∅. Now we assume the zero set of K is discrete.
For every p∈zero(K), there is a small open neighborhood Up of p and an oriented coordinate system (x1,⋯,x2l) with 2l=dimM such that we have
gTM|Up=(dx1)2+⋯+(dx2l)2and
K|Up=l∑i=1λi(x2i∂∂x2i−1−x2i−1∂∂x2i)with each λi≠0 for 1≤i≤l.
Set
λ(p)=λ1⋯λl.
In fact, the existence of Up is not trivial. But, I am very sorry about that I don’t understand about the existence.
∫Mω=(2π)l∑p∈zero(K)ω[0](p)λ(p).
∫M∖∪p∈zero(K)Upω=∫M∖∪p∈zero(K)Upωexp(−TdKθ)=0.Hence
∫Mω=∫M∖∪p∈zero(K)Upωexp(−TdKθ)+∑p∈zero(K)∫Upωexp(−TdKθ)=∑p∈zero(K)∫Upωexp(−TdKθ).
On Up we have
|K|2=l∑i=1λ2i[(x2i)2+(x2i−1)2],θ=l∑i=1λi(x2idx2i−1−x2i−1dx2i).Then,
∫Upωexp(−TdKθ)=∫Upωexp(−T|K|2−Tdθ)=∫Upωexp[−Tl∑i=1λ2i((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]exp(2Tl∑i=1λidx2i−1∧dx2i)=∫Upexp[−Tl∑i=1λ2i((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]ω∞∑k=0(2Tl∑i=1λidx2i−1∧dx2i)k=∫Upexp[−Tl∑i=1λ2i((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]l∑j=0ω[2j](2Tl∑i=1λidx2i−1∧dx2i)l−j
Make the change of the coordinate system (x1,⋯,x2l)→√T(x1,⋯,x2l). Above integral is rewritten
∫√TUpexp[−Tl∑i=1λ2i1T((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]l∑j=0T−jω[2j](x√T)2l−j(Tl∑i=1λiT−1dx2i−1∧dx2i)l−j=∫√TUpexp[−l∑i=1λ2i((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]l∑j=0T−jω[2j](x√T)2l−j(l∑i=1λidx2i−1∧dx2i)l−j
When 0<j≤l, using ∫Rexp(−x2)dx=√π one can easily find that
∫√TUpexp[−l∑i=1λ2i((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]T−jω[2j](x√T)2l−j(l∑i=1λidx2i−1∧dx2i)l−j→0asT→+∞.
Thus,
∫Upωexp(−TdKθ)=∫√TUpexp[−l∑i=1λ2i((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]ω[0](x√T)2l(l∑i=1λidx2i−1∧dx2i)l=∫√TUpexp[−l∑i=1λ2i((x2i−1)2+(x2i)2)]ω[0](x√T)2lλ(p)−1dλ1x1dλ1x2⋯dλlx2l→(2π)lλ(p)−1ω[0](0)asT→+∞.
this completes the proof.
