Chern–Weil homomorphism : ウィキペディア英語版
Chern–Weil homomorphism
In mathematics, the Chern–Weil homomorphism is a basic construction in the Chern–Weil theory that computes topological invariants of vector bundles and principal bundles on a smooth manifold ''M'' in terms of connections and curvature representing classes in the de Rham cohomology rings of ''M''. That is, the theory forms a bridge between the areas of algebraic topology and differential geometry. It was developed in the late 1940s by Shiing-Shen Chern and André Weil, in the wake of proofs of the generalized Gauss–Bonnet theorem. This theory was an important step in the theory of characteristic classes.
Let ''G'' be a real or complex Lie group with Lie algebra \mathfrak g; and let \mathbb(g ) denote the algebra of \mathbb-valued polynomials on \mathfrak g (exactly the same argument works if we used \mathbb instead of \mathbb.) Let \mathbb(g )^G be the subalgebra of fixed points in \mathbb C(g ) under the adjoint action of ''G''; that is, it consists of all polynomials ''f'' such that for any ''g'' in ''G'' and ''x'' in \mathfrak, f(\operatorname_g x) = f(x).
The Chern–Weil homomorphism is a homomorphism of \mathbb C-algebras
:\mathbb C(g )^ \to H^
*(M,\mathbb C)
where on the right cohomology is de Rham cohomology. Such a homomorphism exists and is uniquely defined for every principal G-bundle ''P'' on ''M''. If ''G'' is compact, then under the homomorphism, the cohomology ring of the classifying space for ''G''-bundles ''BG'' is isomorphic to the algebra \mathbb C(g )^ of invariant polynomials:
:H^
*(BG, \mathbb) \cong \mathbb C(g )^.
(The cohomology ring of ''BG'' can still be given in the de Rham sense:
:H^k(BG, \mathbb) = \varinjlim \operatorname (d: \Omega^k(B_jG) \to \Omega^(B_jG))/\operatorname d.
when BG = \varinjlim B_jG and B_jG are manifolds.) For non-compact groups like SL(''n'',R), there may be cohomology classes that are not represented by invariant polynomials.
==Definition of the homomorphism==
Choose any connection form ω in ''P'', and let Ω be the associated curvature 2-form; i.e., Ω = ''D''ω, the exterior covariant derivative of ω. If f\in\mathbb C(g )^G is a homogeneous polynomial function of degree ''k''; i.e., f(a x) = a^k f(x) for any complex number ''a'' and ''x'' in \mathfrak g, then, viewing ''f'' as a symmetric multilinear functional on \prod_1^k \mathfrak (see the ring of polynomial functions), let
:f(\Omega)
be the (scalar-valued) 2''k''-form on ''P'' given by
:f(\Omega)(v_1,\dots,v_)=\frac\sum_,v_),\dots,\Omega(v_, v_))
where ''v''''i'' are tangent vectors to ''P'', \epsilon_\sigma is the sign of the permutation \sigma in the symmetric group on 2''k'' numbers \mathfrak S_ (see Lie algebra-valued forms#Operations as well as Pfaffian).
If, moreover, ''f'' is invariant; i.e., f(\operatorname_g x) = f(x), then one can show that f(\Omega) is a closed form, it descends to a unique form on ''M'' and that the de Rham cohomology class of the form is independent of ''ω''. First, that f(\Omega) is a closed form follows from the next two lemmas:
:Lemma 1: The form f(\Omega) on ''P'' descends to a (unique) form \overline(\Omega) on ''M''; i.e., there is a form on ''M'' that pulls-back to f(\Omega).
:Lemma 2: If a form φ on ''P'' descends to a form on ''M'', then dφ = Dφ.
Indeed, Bianchi's second identity says D \Omega = 0 and, since ''D'' is a graded derivation, D f(\Omega) = 0. Finally, Lemma 1 says f(\Omega) satisfies the hypothesis of Lemma 2.
To see Lemma 2, let \pi: P \to M be the projection and ''h'' be the projection of T_u P onto the horizontal subspace. Then Lemma 2 is a consequence of the fact that d \pi(h v) = d \pi(v) (the kernel of d \pi is precisely the vertical subspace.) As for Lemma 1, first note
:f(\Omega)(d R_g(v_1), \dots, d R_g(v_)) = f(\Omega)(v_1, \dots, v_), \, R_g(u) = ug;
which is because R_g^
* \Omega = \operatorname_(\Omega) by the formula:
:\overline(\Omega)(\overline, \dots, \overline)
where v_i are any lifts of \overline: d \pi(v_i) = \overline_i.
Next, we show that the de Rham cohomology class of \overline(\Omega) on ''M'' is independent of a choice of connection.〔The argument for the independent of a choice of connection here is taken from: Akhil Mathew, Notes on Kodaira vanishing (). Kobayashi-Nomizu, the main reference, gives a more concrete argument.〕 Let \omega_0, \omega_1 be arbitrary connection forms on ''P'' and let p: P \times \mathbb \to P be the projection. Put
:\omega' = t \, p^
* \omega_1 + (1 - t) \, p^
* \omega_0
where ''t'' is a smooth function on P \times \mathbb given by (x, s) \mapsto s. Let \Omega', \Omega_0, \Omega_1 be the curvature forms of \omega', \omega_0, \omega_1. Let i_s: M \to M \times \mathbb, \, x \mapsto (x, s) be the inclusions. Then i_0 is homotopic to i_1. Thus, i_0^
* \overline(\Omega') and i_1^
* \overline(\Omega') belong to the same de Rham cohomology class by the homotopy invariance of de Rham cohomology. Finally, by naturality and by uniqueness of descending,
:i_0^
* \overline(\Omega') = \overline(\Omega_0)
and the same for \Omega_1. Hence, \overline(\Omega_0), \overline(\Omega_1) belong to the same cohomology class.
The construction thus gives the linear map: (cf. Lemma 1)
:\mathbb C(g )^_k \rightarrow H^(M,\mathbb C), \, f \mapsto \left().
In fact, one can check that the map thus obtained:
:\mathbb C(g )^ \rightarrow H^
*(M,\mathbb C)
is an algebra homomorphism.
