We focus mainly our attention to the cohomology of the de Rham complex of a compact manifold $M^n$ with a deformed differential $d_{\\omega}=d +\\lambda \\omega$. Using Witten's approach to the Morse theory one can estimate the number of critical points of $\\omega$ in terms of the cohomology of deformed de Rham complex with sufficiently large values of $\\lambda$ (torsion-free Novikov's inequalities). We show that for an interesting class of solvmanifolds this cohomology can be computed as the cohomology of the corresponding Lie algebra $\\mathfrak{g}$ associated with the one-dimensional representation $\\rho_{\\lambda \\omega}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-26T14:44:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58A12", "17B30", "17B56", "57T15" ], "keywords": [ "rham complex", "multivalued functionals", "cohomology", "torsion-free novikovs inequalities", "wittens approach" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 701816, "adsabs": "2005math.....12572M" } } }
