The Hard Lefschetz Theorem on Kähler Lie Algebroids
Shane Rankin
TL;DR
This work extends the Hard Lefschetz Theorem from classical Kähler manifolds to a class of Kähler Lie Algebroids by introducing a Hodge-admissible framework defined via ellipticity and an integrating section. It demonstrates that under these conditions, harmonic forms admit a Dolbeault-type bigrading, cohomology decomposes accordingly, and the $ A$-Hard Lefschetz isomorphisms hold, mirroring the classical theory. The results connect HL to symplectic harmonicity, Hodge-Riemann relations, and the $dd^{\star}$-lemma within the algebroid setting, while also providing obstructions and explicit examples, including a product construction and a non-elliptic failure case on the $b$-sphere. The work yields Betti-number constraints and shows how HL can fail without ellipticity, emphasizing the role of ellipticity in transferring Kähler geometry to Lie algebroids and enriching the landscape of generalized complex geometry.
Abstract
Compact Kähler manifolds classically satisfy the Hard Lefschetz Theorem, which gives strong control on the underlying topology of the manifold. One expects a similar theorem to be true for Kähler Lie Algebroids, and we show for a certain class of them that this is indeed true, with an added ellipticity requirement. We provide examples of Lie Algebroids satisfying this, as well as an example of a Kähler Lie Algebroid that does not meet this Ellipticity requirement, and consequently fails to satisfy the Hard Lefschetz condition.
