For an odd-degree closed form $H$, there are a twisted de Rham cochain complex $(\\Omega^{\\ast}(M), d+H_\\wedge)$ and its associated twisted de Rham cohomology $H^*(M,H)$. We show that there exists a spectral sequence $\\{E^{p, q}_r, d_r\\}$ derived from the filtration $F_p(\\Omega^{\\ast}(M))=\\bigoplus_{i\\geq p}\\Omega^i(M)$ of $\\Omega^{\\ast}(M)$, which converges to the twisted de Rham cohomology $H^*(M,H)$. We also show that the differentials in the spectral sequence can be given in terms of cup products and specific elements of Massey products as well, which generalizes a result of Atiyah and Segal. Some results about the indeterminacy of differentials are also given in this paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2010-05-04T23:23:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58J52", "57Q10", "58J40", "81T30" ], "keywords": [ "spectral sequence", "twisted cohomologies", "rham cochain complex", "rham cohomology", "smooth compact closed manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.1417L" } } }
