Basic Dolbeault cohomology and Weitzenböck frmulas on transversely Kähler foliations

Seoung Dal Jung, Ken Richardson

Abstract

We study basic Dolbeault cohomology and find new Weitzenböck formulas on a transversely Kähler foliation. We investigate conditions on mean curvature and Ricci curvature that impose restrictions on basic Dolbeault cohomology. For example, we prove that on a transversely Kähler foliation with positive transversal Ricci curvature, there are no nonzero basic-harmonic forms of type $(r,0)$, among other results.

Key Result

Proposition 2.1

(In Al,PaRi for the compact case) Let $(M,\mathcal{F})$ be a Riemannian foliation of codimension $q$ such that the leaf closures of $\mathcal{F}$ are compact. Then the formal adjoint operators $\delta_B$ and $\delta_T$ of $d_B$ and $d_T$ with respect to $\ll\cdot,\cdot\gg$ on basic forms are given b respectively, applied to basic $r$-forms $\phi$.
