Signatures of Witt spaces with boundary

Paolo Piazza, Boris Vertman

备注：: 58 pages, 4 figures

英文摘要：

Let M be a compact smoothly stratified pseudomanifold with boundary, satisfying the Witt assumption. In this paper we introduce the de Rham signature and the Hodge signature of M, and prove their equality. Next, building also on recent work of Albin and Gell-Redman, we extend the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theory established in our previous work under the hypothesis that M has stratification depth 1 to the general case, establishing in particular a signature formula on Witt spaces with boundary. In a parallel way we also pass to the case of a Galois covering M' of M with Galois group Gamma. Employing von Neumann algebras we introduce the de Rham Gamma-signature and the Hodge Gamma-signature and prove their equality, thus extending to Witt spaces a result proved by Lueck and Schick in the smooth case. Finally, extending work of Vaillant in the smooth case, we establish a formula for the Hodge Gamma-signature. As a consequence we deduce the fundamental result that equates the Cheeger-Gromov rho-invariant of the boundary of M' with the difference of the signatures of M and M'. We end the paper with two geometric applications of our results.

C*-Algebraic higher Signature on Non-Witt space

Signature plays an important role in geometry and topology. In the space with singularity, Goresky and MacPherson extend the signatures to oriented pseudomanifolds with only even codimensional stratums by using generalized Poincare duality of intersection homology. After that Siegel extended the signature on Witt spaces. Higson and Xie study the $C^*$- higher signature on Witt space. Followed by the combinatorial framework developed by Higson and Roe, this paper construct the $C^*$-signature on non Witt space with noncommutative geometric methods. In conical singular case, we compare analytica…

The signature package on Witt spaces, II. Higher signatures

This is a sequel to the paper "The signature package on Witt spaces, I. Index classes" by the same authors. In the first part we investigated, via a parametrix construction, the regularity properties of the signature operator on a stratified Witt pseudomanifold, proving, in particular, that one can define a K-homology signature class. We also established the existence of an analytic index class for the signature operator twisted by a C^*_rΓMischenko bundle and proved that the K-homology signature class is mapped to the signature index class by the assembly map. In this paper we continue our st…

The signature package on Witt spaces, I. Index classes

We give a parametrix construction for the signature operator on any compact, oriented, stratified pseudomanifold X which satisfies the Witt condition. This construction is inductive. It is then used to show that the signature operator is essentially self-adjoint and has discrete spectrum of finite multiplicity, so that its index -- the analytic signature of X -- is well-defined. We then show how to couple this construction to a C^*_r(Gamma) Mischenko bundle associated to any Galois covering of X with covering group Gamma. The appropriate analogues of these same results are then proved, and it …

The signature package on Witt spaces

In this paper we prove a variety of results about the signature operator on Witt spaces. First, we give a parametrix construction for the signature operator on any compact, oriented, stratified pseudomanifold X which satisfies the Witt condition. This construction, which is inductive over the `depth' of the singularity, is then used to show that the signature operator is essentially self-adjoint and has discrete spectrum of finite multiplicity, so that its index -- the analytic signature of X -- is well-defined. This provides an alternate approach to some well-known results due to Cheeger. We …

The Seiberg-Witten Equations on Manifolds with Boundary I: The Space of Monopoles and Their Boundary Values

In this paper, we study the Seiberg-Witten equations on a compact 3-manifold with boundary. Solutions to these equations are called monopoles. Under some simple topological assumptions, we show that the solution space of all monopoles is a Banach manifold in suitable function space topologies. We then prove that the restriction of the space of monopoles to the boundary is a submersion onto a Lagrangian submanifold of the space of connections and spinors on the boundary. Both these spaces are infinite dimensional, even modulo gauge, since no boundary conditions are specified for the Seiberg-Wit…

Low-regularity Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces on manifolds with boundary

For a compact spinc manifold $X$ with boundary $b_1(\partial X)=0$, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in $L^2_1$ (i.e., $W^{1,2}$) Sobolev regularity. We prove they are Hilbert manifolds, prove denseness and "semi-infinite-dimensionality" properties of the restriction to $\partial X$, and establish a gluing theorem. To achieve these, we prove a general regularity theorem and a strong unique continuation principle for Dirac operators, and smoothness of a restriction map to configurations of higher regularity on the inter…

Witten-Hodge theory on manifolds with boundary and equivariant cohomology

We consider a compact, oriented, smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ (with or without boundary) and we suppose $G$ is a torus acting by isometries on $M$. Given $X$ in the Lie algebra and corresponding vector field $X_M$ on $M$, one defines Witten's inhomogeneous coboundary operator $d_{X_M} = d+ι_{X_M}: Ω_G^\pm \toΩ_G^\mp$ (even/odd invariant forms on $M$) and its adjoint $δ_{X_M}$. In the 1980s Witten showed that the resulting cohomology classes have $X_M$-harmonic representatives (forms in the null space of $Δ_{X_M} = (d_{X_M}+δ_{X_M})^2$), and the cohomology groups are isomorphic to the ordinar…

Induced Dirac-Schrödinger operators on $S^1$-semi-free quotients

John Lott has computed an integer-valued signature for the orbit space of a compact orientable $(4k+1)$ manifold with a semi-free $S^1$-action, which is a homotopy invariant of that space, but he did not construct a Dirac type operator which has this signature as its index. In this Thesis, we construct such operator on the orbit space, a Thom-Mather stratified space with one singular stratum of positive dimension, and we show that it is essentially unique and that its index coincides with Lott's signature, at least when the stratified space satisfies the so called Witt condition. We call this …

Holomorphic volume forms on representation varieties of surfaces with boundary

For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the other one is the power of the Atiyah-Bott-Goldman symplectic form. We introduce an holomorphic volume form on the space of representations of the circle, so that, for surfaces with boundary, it appears as peripheral term in the generalization of Witten's formula. We compute explicit volume and symplectic forms for some simple surfaces and for the Lie group SL(N,…
