Pontrjagin类

回顾实向量丛$\xi$可以复化为$\xi\otimes_\mathbb{R}\mathbb{C},$ 与它的共轭丛同构. 定义第$i$个Pontrjagin示性类为

$$ p_i(\xi):=(-1)^ic_{2i}(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})\in H^{4i}(B;\mathbb{Z}). $$

用总Pontrjagin类:

$$ p(\xi)=1+p_1(\xi)+\cdots+p_{[\frac{n}{2}]}(\xi). $$

由于它来自于Chern类, 它也满足如下性质:

$$ p(\xi\oplus \eta)=p(\xi)\cup p(\eta)+2 \text{ torsions}, $$

$$ 2[p(\xi\oplus\eta)-p(\xi)\cup p(\eta)]=0. $$

一个例子是$\tau_{S^n}\oplus\nu_{S^n}\cong \varepsilon^{n+1},$ $p(\tau_{S^n})=p(\tau_{S^n}\oplus\varepsilon^1)=1+2\text{ torsions}.$ 但由于$H^\ast (S^n)$为自由$\mathbb{Z}$-模, 挠当然是零.

注 1. *复化可表示为:

$$ O(n)\hookrightarrow U(n),\quad A\mapsto A\otimes_\mathbb{R}\mathbb{C}(=A). $$

这诱导了$BO(n)\rightarrow BU(n),$ 拉回得到$H^{4i}(BO(n);\mathbb{Z})\leftrightarrow H^{4i}(BU(n);\mathbb{Z}),$ $c_{2i}\mapsto (-1)^ip_i.$*

实向量丛, 复向量丛与定向实向量丛

一个实向量丛复化后得到一个复向量丛, 一个复向量丛可以忘掉复结构成为定向实向量丛, 定向实向量丛又可以忘掉定向成为实向量丛. 从实向量丛$\xi$出发, 转一圈我们得到的是$(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}\cong \xi\oplus\xi.$ 一个复向量丛$\omega$转一圈得到的是$\omega_\mathbb{R}\otimes \mathbb{C}\cong \omega\oplus\overline\omega.$ 只需验证纤维上$x\mapsto (x,-ix)$给出了同构即可.

这样,

$$ (1+c_1+\cdots+c_n)(1-c_1+\cdots \pm c_n)=c(\omega)c(\overline\omega)=c(\omega_\mathbb{R}\otimes \mathbb{C})=p^{\pm}(\omega_\mathbb{R})=1-p_1+\cdots\pm p_n. $$

推论 2. 复向量丛的Chern类决定了它实化的Pontrjagin类, 即

$$ p_k(\omega_\mathbb{R})=c_k^2-2c_{k-1}c_{k+1}+\cdots\pm 2c_1c_{2k-1}\mp 2c_{2k} $$

注 3. 上面的三个转换化为结构群理论, 为$U(n)\rightarrow SO(2n)\rightarrow O(2n)\rightarrow U(2n).$ 那么拉回映射就是$(-1)^ic_{2i}\mapsto p_i\rightarrow$推论结论右侧.

取$\tau:=\tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n},$ 我们希望研究$p_k(\tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n}).$ 回忆$c(\tau)=(1+a)^{n+1},$ $a=-c_1(\gamma_n^1)\in H^2(\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n).$ 这是通过如下过程得到:

$$ \tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n}\cong \operatorname{Hom}(\gamma^1,(\gamma^1)^\perp), $$

$$ \tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n}\oplus \varepsilon^1\cong \operatorname{Hom}(\gamma^1,\varepsilon^{n+1})\cong \operatorname{Hom}(\gamma^1,\varepsilon^1)^{\oplus (n+1)} $$

令$p_k:=p_k(\tau_\mathbb{R}),$ 那么

$$ 1-p_1+\cdots\pm p_n=c(\tau)c(\overline\tau)=(1-a^2)^{n+1}, $$

$$ p=1+p_1+\cdots+p_n=(1+a^2)^{n+1},\quad p_k=\binom{n+1}{k}a^{2k}\neq 0. $$

从一个实定向丛$\xi$出发, 我们转一圈得到$(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}.$ 我们已经知道$(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}\cong \xi\oplus\xi.$ 但不清楚的是定向是否发生改变?

取$(v_1,\cdots,v_n)$为$\xi_b$的正定向基, $b\in B.$ 那么$(v_1,iv_1,\cdots,v_n,iv_n)$为$(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}$的正定向基. 但$\xi\oplus\xi$自然的正定向基为$(v_1,\cdots,v_n,v_1,\cdots,v_n).$ 它们之间差了$\binom{n}{2}$次置换.

命题 4. $(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}\cong \xi\oplus\xi$保持定向当且仅当$\binom{n}{2}$为偶数.

推论 5. 若$\xi$为秩$2n$实向量丛, 则$p_n(\xi)=e(\xi)^2\in H^{4n}(B;\mathbb{Z}).$

$p_n(\xi)=(-1)^nc_{2n}(\xi\otimes\mathbb{C})=(-1)^ne(\xi\otimes\mathbb{C}).$ 由推论, 这等于 $(-1)^ne(\xi\oplus \xi)(-1)^{\binom{2n}{2} }=e(\xi)^2.$

注 6. 通过BG理论, 我们事实上给出了$SO(n)\rightarrow O(n)\rightarrow U(n)\rightarrow SO(2n),$ 拉回得到$H^\ast BSO(2n)\rightarrow H^\ast BSO(n),$ $p_n\mapsto e^2.$

万有丛

$$ \{\pm 1\}\cong \frac{O(n)}{SO(n)}\rightarrow BSO(n)\rightarrow BO(n), $$

$$ BSO(n)\cong \widetilde G_n=\{X|X\subset \mathbb{R}^\infty, \text{秩$n$定向}\}. $$

定理 7. 令$R$为i.d., $\frac{1}{2}\in \mathbb{R},$ 那么

$$ H^\ast (\widetilde G_{2m+1};R)\cong R[p_1,\cdots,p_m],\quad H^\ast (\widetilde G_{2m};R)\cong R[p_1,\cdots,p_{m-1},e], $$

$$ p_i=p_i(\widetilde\gamma^n),\quad e=e(\widetilde\gamma^n) $$

等价的,

$$ H^\ast (\widetilde G_n;R)=R[p_1,\cdots,p_{[\frac{n}{2}]},e]|\text{$n$为奇数时$e=0,$ $n$为偶数时$e=p^2_{\frac{n}{2} }$}. $$

推论 8. 对上述的$R,$

$$ H^\ast (G_n;R)=R[p_1,\cdots,p_{\frac{n}{2} }]. $$

应用

我们将证明:

  1. 不存在一个反定向的微分同胚$\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}.$

  2. $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}\neq \partial V^{2n+1}.$

  3. $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}\not\cong X\times Y,$ $X,Y$都不是点.

我们的工具是Chern, Pontrjagin数.

考虑$n$-划分$I=(i_1,\cdots,i_r),$ $i_1+\cdots+i_r=n.$ 取$I,J$分别为$n,m$划分, 那么

$$ IJ:=(i_1,\cdots,i_r,j_1,\cdots,j_s),\quad IJ\text{为$n+m$划分}. $$

定义一个$I$的加细为$I'=I_1\cdots I_r,$ 使得$I_j$为$i_j$划分, $j\le r$. 定义划分数$p(n)=n$划分个数.

对于$n$维闭复流形$K^n,$ $I=(i_1,\cdots,i_r),$ 定义第$I$个Chern数为

$$ c_I[K^n]:=\left<{}c_{i_1}\cdots c_{i_r},[K^n]\right>_K\in \mathbb{Z}, $$

$c_i=c_i(\tau_K).$ 等价地, 定义$f$为$\tau_K$的分类映射:

$$ f:K\rightarrow G_n(\mathbb{C}^\infty),\quad f^\ast \gamma^n=\tau_K. $$

$$ f_\ast [K]\in H_{2n}(G_n;\mathbb{Z}). $$

$$ c_I[K^n]=\left<{}c_{i_1}\cdots c_{i_r},f_\ast [K]\right>_{G_n}. $$

由于$H^\ast (G_n;\mathbb{Z})=\mathbb{Z}[c_1,\cdots,c_n],$ $\{c_I\}$组成了$H^{2n}(G_n;\mathbb{Z})$的一组$\mathbb{Z}$-基(秩为$p(n)$), Chern数$\{c_I[K]:I\in n\}\subset \mathbb{Z}$完全决定了$f_\ast [K]\in H_{2n}(G_n;\mathbb{Z}).$

Pontrjagin class

Recall that the real vector bundle $\xi$ can be complexed into $\xi\otimes_\mathbb{R}\mathbb{C},$ Isomorphic to its conjugate bundle. Define the $i$th Pontrjagin characteristic class as

$$ p_i(\xi):=(-1)^ic_{2i}(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})\in H^{4i}(B;\mathbb{Z}). $$

Use the total Pontrjagin class:

$$ p(\xi)=1+p_1(\xi)+\cdots+p_{[\frac{n}{2}]}(\xi). $$

Since it comes from the Chern class, it also satisfies the following properties:

$$ p(\xi\oplus \eta)=p(\xi)\cup p(\eta)+2 \text{ torsions}, $$

That is

$$ 2[p(\xi\oplus\eta)-p(\xi)\cup p(\eta)]=0. $$

An example is $\tau_{S^n}\oplus\nu_{S^n}\cong \varepsilon^{n+1},$ $p(\tau_{S^n})=p(\tau_{S^n}\oplus\varepsilon^1)=1+2\text{ torsions}.$ But since $H^\ast (S^n)$ is a free $\mathbb{Z}$-module, the torsion is of course zero.

Note 1. *Complexation can be expressed as:

$$ O(n)\hookrightarrow U(n),\quad A\mapsto A\otimes_\mathbb{R}\mathbb{C}(=A). $$

This induces $BO(n)\rightarrow BU(n),$ to be pulled back to get $H^{4i}(BO(n);\mathbb{Z})\leftrightarrow H^{4i}(BU(n);\mathbb{Z}),$ $c_{2i}\mapsto (-1)^ip_i.$*

Real vector bundle, complex vector bundle and directed real vector bundle

A real vector bundle is complexed to obtain a complex vector bundle, A complex vector bundle can forget the complex structure and become a directed real vector bundle, Oriented real vector bundles can forget the orientation and become real vector bundles. Starting from the real vector bundle $\xi$, Turning it around we get $(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}\cong \xi\oplus\xi.$ A complex vector bundle $\omega$ turns around to get $\omega_\mathbb{R}\otimes \mathbb{C}\cong \omega\oplus\overline\omega.$ Just verify that $x\mapsto (x,-ix)$ gives an isomorphism on the fiber.

In this way,

$$ (1+c_1+\cdots+c_n)(1-c_1+\cdots \pm c_n)=c(\omega)c(\overline\omega)=c(\omega_\mathbb{R}\otimes \mathbb{C})=p^{\pm}(\omega_\mathbb{R})=1-p_1+\cdots\pm p_n. $$

Corollary 2. The Chern class of a complex vector bundle determines the Pontrjagin class of its realization, that is

$$ p_k(\omega_\mathbb{R})=c_k^2-2c_{k-1}c_{k+1}+\cdots\pm 2c_1c_{2k-1}\mp 2c_{2k} $$

Note 3. The above three transformations are converted into structural group theory, which is $U(n)\rightarrow SO(2n)\rightarrow O(2n)\rightarrow U(2n).$. Then the pullback mapping is $(-1)^ic_{2i}\mapsto p_i\rightarrow$ on the right side of the inference conclusion.

Take $\tau:=\tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n},$ We want to study $p_k(\tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n}).$ Memories$c(\tau)=(1+a)^{n+1},$ $a=-c_1(\gamma_n^1)\in H^2(\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n).$ This is obtained through the following process:

$$ \tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n}\cong \operatorname{Hom}(\gamma^1,(\gamma^1)^\perp), $$

$$ \tau_{\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n}\oplus \varepsilon^1\cong \operatorname{Hom}(\gamma^1,\varepsilon^{n+1})\cong \operatorname{Hom}(\gamma^1,\varepsilon^1)^{\oplus (n+1)} $$

Let $p_k:=p_k(\tau_\mathbb{R}),$ then

$$ 1-p_1+\cdots\pm p_n=c(\tau)c(\overline\tau)=(1-a^2)^{n+1}, $$

$$ p=1+p_1+\cdots+p_n=(1+a^2)^{n+1},\quad p_k=\binom{n+1}{k}a^{2k}\neq 0. $$

Starting from a real directed bundle $\xi$, We turn around and get $(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}.$ We already know $(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}\cong \xi\oplus\xi.$ But what is unclear is whether the orientation has changed?

Take $(v_1,\cdots,v_n)$ as the positive directing basis of $\xi_b$, $b\in B.$ Then $(v_1,iv_1,\cdots,v_n,iv_n)$ is the positive directing basis of $(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}$. But the natural positive directing basis of $\xi\oplus\xi$ is $(v_1,\cdots,v_n,v_1,\cdots,v_n).$ There are $\binom{n}{2}$ substitutions between them.

Proposition 4. $(\xi\otimes \mathbb{C})_\mathbb{R}\cong \xi\oplus\xi$ remains oriented if and only if $\binom{n}{2}$ is an even number.

Corollary 5. If $\xi$ is a real vector bundle of rank $2n$, then $p_n(\xi)=e(\xi)^2\in H^{4n}(B;\mathbb{Z}).$

$p_n(\xi)=(-1)^nc_{2n}(\xi\otimes\mathbb{C})=(-1)^ne(\xi\otimes\mathbb{C}).$ By corollary, this is equal to $(-1)^ne(\xi\oplus \xi)(-1)^{\binom{2n}{2} }=e(\xi)^2.$

Note 6. Through BG theory, we actually give $SO(n)\rightarrow O(n)\rightarrow U(n)\rightarrow SO(2n),$ and pull it back to get $H^\ast BSO(2n)\rightarrow H^\ast BSO(n),$ $p_n\mapsto e^2.$

Universal bundle

$$ \{\pm 1\}\cong \frac{O(n)}{SO(n)}\rightarrow BSO(n)\rightarrow BO(n), $$

$$ BSO(n)\cong \widetilde G_n=\{X|X\subset \mathbb{R}^\infty, \text{秩$n$定向}\}. $$

Theorem 7. Let $R$ be i.d., $\frac{1}{2}\in \mathbb{R},$ then

$$ H^\ast (\widetilde G_{2m+1};R)\cong R[p_1,\cdots,p_m],\quad H^\ast (\widetilde G_{2m};R)\cong R[p_1,\cdots,p_{m-1},e], $$

$$ p_i=p_i(\widetilde\gamma^n),\quad e=e(\widetilde\gamma^n) $$

equivalent,

$$ H^\ast (\widetilde G_n;R)=R[p_1,\cdots,p_{[\frac{n}{2}]},e]|\text{$n$为奇数时$e=0,$ $n$为偶数时$e=p^2_{\frac{n}{2} }$}. $$

Corollary 8. For the above $R,$

$$ H^\ast (G_n;R)=R[p_1,\cdots,p_{\frac{n}{2} }]. $$

Application

We will prove:

  1. There does not exist an orientation-reversing diffeomorphism $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}.$

  2. $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}\neq \partial V^{2n+1}.$

  3. $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^{2n}\not\cong X\times Y,$ $X,Y$ are not points.

Our tool is the Chern, Pontrjagin number.

Consider $n$ - partition $I=(i_1,\cdots,i_r),$ $i_1+\cdots+i_r=n.$ Take $I,J$ to be divided into $n,m$ respectively, then

$$ IJ:=(i_1,\cdots,i_r,j_1,\cdots,j_s),\quad IJ\text{为$n+m$划分}. $$

Define an addition of $I$ as $I'=I_1\cdots I_r,$ such that $I_j$ is divided by $i_j$, $j\le r$. Define the number of divisions $p(n)=n$ to divide the number.

For $n$ dimensional closed complex manifold $K^n,$ $I=(i_1,\cdots,i_r),$, define the $I$th Chern number as

$$ c_I[K^n]:=\left<{}c_{i_1}\cdots c_{i_r},[K^n]\right>_K\in \mathbb{Z}, $$

$c_i=c_i(\tau_K).$ Equivalently, define $f$ as the classification mapping of $\tau_K$:

$$ f:K\rightarrow G_n(\mathbb{C}^\infty),\quad f^\ast \gamma^n=\tau_K. $$

$$ f_\ast [K]\in H_{2n}(G_n;\mathbb{Z}). $$

$$ c_I[K^n]=\left<{}c_{i_1}\cdots c_{i_r},f_\ast [K]\right>_{G_n}. $$

Due to $H^\ast (G_n;\mathbb{Z})=\mathbb{Z}[c_1,\cdots,c_n],$ $\{c_I\}$ forms a set of $\mathbb{Z}$-basis (rank $p(n)$) of $H^{2n}(G_n;\mathbb{Z})$, The Chern number $\{c_I[K]:I\in n\}\subset \mathbb{Z}$ completely determines $f_\ast [K]\in H_{2n}(G_n;\mathbb{Z}).$
