A Note on the Cohomology of Pullback Lie Algebroids
- 1University of Toronto, Canada
Abstract
We give a direct differential-geometric proof of a result of Crainic on the cohomology of pullbacks of Lie algebroids under surjective submersions: If the fibers are connected and have vanishing cohomology through degree n, pullback with coefficients in any representation is an isomorphism through degree n and is injective in degree n+1. The proof reduces to a vanishing result for leafwise cohomology and uses an exhaustion-and-patching argument due to Buchdahl. No local triviality or finite-type assumption on the fibers is required. We also prove the analogous result for holomorphic Lie algebroids.
