Often they reveal more subtle geometric information. The following will contain a discussion of Whitehead and Reidemeister torsion. Informally, corresponding primary invariants are Lefschetz numbers (Whitehead torsion) and the Euler characteristic (Reidemeister torsion). \section{Review of Euler characteristic and Lefschetz numbers.} \subsection{CW Complexes} \begin{dfn*} A (finite) \CmMark{CW-complex} is a hausdorff space with a decomposition $E$ into (finitely many) cells (space hemeomorphic to some $\R^n$) such that for every $e \in E$ there is a continuous map $\phi_e \colon D^n \to X$ with $\phi_e \colon \mathring D^n \xrightarrow{\cong} e$ and $\Im(\phi_e|_{S^{n-1}}) \subset \bigcup_{f \in E, \dim f \leq n-1} f$. \end{dfn*} \begin{expl*} \begin{enumerate} \item Simplicial complexes, e.g. triangles, pyramides, etc. \item But CW-complexes are more general, the following graph is CW for example: \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0) to[bend left] (2,0); \draw (0,0) to[bend right] (2,0); \draw (2,0) to (3,0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} One can even attach a disc along its boundary to a single 1-cell. \end{enumerate} \end{expl*} \subsection{Euler characteristic} \begin{dfn*} The Euler class $\chi(X)$ of a finite CW-complex $X$ is defined as $\chi(X) = \sum_{i \geq 0}(-1)^i \#(i\text{-cells of } X) \in \Z$. \end{dfn*} \begin{thm*}[Euler-Poincaré] \begin{align*} \chi(X) = \sum_{i \geq 0} (-1)^i b_i(X), \end{align*} where $b_i(X) = \rk_{\Z} H_i(X;\Z)$. \end{thm*} In particular, $\chi$ is a homotopy invariant. \begin{proof}[Proof''] $H_i(X;\Z) = H_i(C_{*}^{CW}(X))$, where $C_{*}^{CW}(X)$ is the cellular chain complex \begin{align*} \cdot \to C_{i+1}^{CW}(X)\xrightarrow{\partial} \underbrace{C_{i}^{CW}(X)}_{\cong \Z^{\# i\text{-cells}}} \xrightarrow{\partial} C_{i-1}^{CW}(X) \to \cdots \end{align*} Thus $\chi(C_{*}) := \sum_{i \geq 0} (-1)^i\rk_{\Z}(C_{i})$ and $\chi(C^{CW}(X)) = \chi(X)$. This boils down to \begin{align*} \chi(C_{*}) = \sum_{i \geq 0} \rk_{\Z}H_i(C_{*}) ( = \chi(H_{*}(C_{*}))]. \end{align*} This is just additivity of the rank! Consider \begin{align*} C_1 \xrightarrow{\partial} C_0 \end{align*} and note that we have the exact sequences $0 \to \Im \partial \to C_0 \to \underbrace{H_0}_{= C_0/\Im \partial} \to 0$ and $0 \to \underbrace{H_1}_{= \Ker \partial} \to C_1 \xrightarrow{\partial} \Im \partial \to 0$. Thus $\chi(C_{*)} = \rk_{\Z} C_0 - \rk_{\Z} C_1 = \rk_{\Z} \Im \partial + \rk_{\Z} H_0 - \rk_{\Z}H_1 - \rk_{\Z} \Im \partial = \rk H_0 - \rk H_1$, which completes the proof''. \end{proof} \subsection{Review of cellular homology} Let $X$ be a CW-complex with cellular decomposition $E$. Then we can consider the \CmMark{n-skeleton} \begin{align*} X^n := \sum_{e \in E, \dim e \leq n} e, \end{align*} which yields a filtration $X^0 \subset X^1 \subset \cdots \subset X$ such there is a pushout diagram \begin{equation*} \begin{tikzcd} \coprod S^{n-1} \ar{r} \ar[hook]{d} & X^{n-1} \ar[hook]{d} \\ \coprod D^n \ar{r} & X^n \end{tikzcd} \end{equation*} One could take this as an alternative definition of a CW-complex by a filtration with the pushout property. The cells can be recovered as connected components of $X^n\setminus X^{n-1}$. We have \begin{align*} C_i^{CW}(X) = H_i(X^i, X^{i+1}) \xleftarrow{\cong} H_i(\coprod D^i, \coprod S^{i-1}) \cong \bigoplus H_i(D^i, S^{i-1}) \cong \bigoplus \Z^{\# i\text{-cells}}, \end{align*} where the first isomorphism $\leftarrow$ is given by excision. The boundary maps $C_i^{CW}(X) \xrightarrow{\partial} C_{i-1}^{CW}(X)$ come from \begin{align*} H_i(X^i,X^{i-1}) \to H_{i-1}(X^{i-1}) \to H_{i-1}(X^{i-1},X^{i-2}). \end{align*} Under this isomorphism, the matrix entry belonging to $(e,f)$ where $e$ is an $n$-cell, $f$ an $(n-1)$-cell is the \CmMark{degree} of the map. \begin{align*} S^{i-1} \xrightarrow{\phi_e|_{S^{n-1}}} X^{i-1} \xrightarrow{\operatorname{proj}} X^{i-1}/(X^{i-1}\setminus f) \xleftarrow{\phi_f, \cong} D^{i-1}/S^{i-2} \cong S^{i-1}. \end{align*} \begin{expl*} Consider the torus as an identification square. We convince ourselves that the cellular chain complex is given as $\Z \to \Z \oplus \Z \to \Z$, where $1 \mapsto (0, 0)$, since it is described by a map $S^1 \to S^1$ traversing the 2-cell according to orientation has degree $0$. \end{expl*} \subsection{Lefschetz number} Recall that a map $f \colon X \to P$ between CW-complexes is \CmMark{cellular}, if $f(X^i) \subset Y^i$ for all $i$. \begin{thm*}[Cellular approximation] Any map between CW-complexes is homotopic to a cellular map. \end{thm*} \begin{dfn*} The \CmMark{Lefschetz number} of a self-map $f \colon X \to X$ of a finite CW-complex is defnined as \begin{align*} \Lambda(f) = \sum_{i \geq 0} (-1)^i\tr C_i^{CW}(f) \in \Z. \end{align*} \end{dfn*} \begin{rem*} $\Lambda(\id_X) = \chi(X)$. \end{rem*} The following theorem yields a description of Lefschetz numbers by homology. \begin{thm*} $\Lambda(f) = \sum_{i \geq 0}(-1)^i \tr H_i(f)$. \end{thm*} Thus, this number only depends on the homotopy class of $f$. \begin{proof} Similar to the proof of Euler-Poincaré using the additivity of the trace, i.e. in the situation \begin{tikzcd}[row sep=small] 0 \ar{r} & A \ar{r} \ar{d}{a} & B \ar{r} \ar{d}{b} & C \ar{r} \ar{d}{c} & 0\\ 0 \ar{r} & A \ar{r} & B \ar{r} & C \ar{r} & 0 \end{tikzcd} we have $\tr(b) = \tr(a) + \tr(c)$. \end{proof} \begin{thm*} If $f$ has no fixed point, then $\Lambda(f) = 0$. \end{thm*}  Jan-Bernhard Kordaß committed Oct 25, 2016 145   Jan-Bernhard Kordaß committed Oct 25, 2016 146 147 148 \begin{rem*} The converse is not true (think of counterexamples, e.g. $S^1 \wedge S^1$), although there is one in the case of simply-connected closed manifolds. \end{rem*}  Jan-Bernhard Kordaß committed Oct 25, 2016 149   Jan-Bernhard Kordaß committed Oct 25, 2016 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 \begin{proof} Let $X$ be metrizable and let $d$ be a metric. If $X$ is compact, there exists an $\varepsilon > 0$ with $d(f(x), x) > 3\varepsilon$. One can refine'' the CW-structure to a new one such that every cell has diameter $< \varepsilon$. By cellular approximation we can see that there exists a cellular map $g \colon X \to X$ with $g \simeq f$ and $d(g(x),f(x)) < \varepsilon$. Thus $g(\overline e) \cap \overline e = \emptyset$ for every cell $e$. Hence, the diagonal matrix entries of each $C_i^{CW}(g)$ are zero and thus $\Lambda(g) = \Lambda(f) = 0$. \end{proof}  Jan-Bernhard Kordaß committed Oct 25, 2016 158   Jan-Bernhard Kordaß committed Oct 25, 2016 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337  \chapter{Harmonic Maps [Andy Sanders]} \section{Basics of harmonic maps} \subsection{Background differential geometry} Let $E \to M$ be an $\R$-vector bundle over $M$ (second countable, hausdorff manifold) of rank $r$. A \CmMark{connection} $\nabla$ on $E$ is an $\R$-linear map \begin{align*} \nabla \colon \Omega^0(E) \to \Omega^0(\T^{*}M \otimes_{\R} E) =: \Omega^1(M,E), s \mapsto \nabla_{\blank} s \end{align*} where $\Omega^0(E)$ denotes smooth sections in $E$, such that \begin{enumerate} \item $\nabla_{X+Y}s = \nabla_Xs + \nabla_Ys$, \item $\nabla_X(s+s') = \nabla_X s + \nabla_Xs'$ \item $\nabla_{fX} s = f\nabla_Xs$ \item $\nabla_X(fs) = f\nabla_Xs + X(f) s$. \end{enumerate} Let $q$ be an inner product on $E$. We say that $\nabla$ is a \CmMark{metric connection} for $q$, if for all $s,t \in \Omega^0(E)$ we have \begin{align*} \dop q(s,t) = q(\nabla s,t) + q(s, \nabla t). \end{align*} \begin{expl*} Let $(M,g)$ be a riemannian manifold with tangent bundle $E = \T M$ and Levi-Civita connection $\nabla$ of $g$. Let $X,Y \in \Omega^0(M)$ be vector fields, i.e. $X = X^i \frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}$ and $Y = Y^j \frac{\partial}{\partial x^j}$ in local co-ordinates. (Abbreviate $\partial_i$ for $\frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}$.) \begin{align*} \nabla_XY = \nabla_{X^i\partial_i} Y^i\partial_i = X^i(\nabla_{\partial_i}Y^i\partial_i) = X^i(\partial_iY^i\partial_i + Y^i\nabla_{\partial_i}\partial_i) = X^i(\partial_iY^i\partial_i + Y^i\Gamma_{ij}^k\partial_i) \end{align*} where $\Gamma_{ij}^k = g^{km}(\partial_ig_{im} + \partial_j g_{im} - \partial_mg_{ij})$ for $g_{ij} = g(\partial_i,\partial_j)$ and $g^{km}$ is the $km$-entry of $g^{-1}$. \end{expl*} Out of $E$ one can build another bundle $E^{*} = \Hom(E,\R)$ and given another vector bundle $F$, one can build $\Hom(E,F)$, \begin{dfn*} Let $(E,\nabla) \to M$ be a vector bundle with a connection over $M$. The space of \CmMark{$p$-forms} on $m$ with values in $E$ is the $C^{\infty}(M)$-module $\Omega^p(M,E) = \Omega^0(M,\bigwedge^p\T^{*}M \otimes E)$. Elements $\alpha$ in $\Omega^p(M,E)$ have representations as linear combination of $\alpha_{i_1,\cdots,i_p}\dop x^{i_1} \wedge \cdots \wedge \dop x^{i_p} \otimes (s_1, \cdots s_p)$. \end{dfn*} \begin{dfn*} The exterior covariant derivative is the map given by extension of \begin{align*} \dop^{\nabla} \colon \Omega^p(M,E) & \to \Omega^{p+1}(M,E),\\ \alpha \otimes u & \mapsto \dop^{\nabla}(\alpha \otimes u) = \dop \alpha \otimes u + (-1)^p \alpha \wedge \nabla u \end{align*} for $\alpha \in \bigwedge^p\T^{*}M$, $u \in \Omega^0(E)$. \end{dfn*} We want to define an inner product on $\Omega^p(M,E)$. For this, fix a metric $g$ on $M$ and let $(E,\nabla,q) \to M$ be a vector bundle with metric and connection over $M$. \begin{align*} \left< \alpha \otimes u, p \otimes v\right> = \int_M g(\alpha,p) q(u,v) \dop v_g \end{align*} is a number. (For this integral to be finite, assume $M$ is compact or work with compactly supported sections.) \begin{dfn*} The \CmMark{exterior covariant codifferential}\footnote{non-standard notation} is the formal $L^2$-adjoint of $d$ \begin{align*} \delta^{\nabla} \colon \Omega^p(M,E) \to \Omega^p(M,E) \end{align*} such that $\left< \dop^{\nabla}(\alpha \otimes u), \beta \otimes v\right> = \left<\alpha \otimes u, \delta^{\nabla}(\beta \otimes v)\right>$. \end{dfn*} \begin{rem*}[Fact] An integration by parts arguement shows that $\delta^{\nabla}$ exists and, when $\nabla$ is a metric connection, then \begin{align*} \delta^{\nabla} \colon \Omega^1(M,E) \to \Omega^0(M,E), \ \alpha \otimes u \mapsto -\tr_g(\nabla^{\T^{*} \otimes E} \alpha \otimes u), \end{align*} where for $\Omega^1(M,E) \to \Omega^0(M, \T^{*}M \otimes \T^{*}M \otimes E)$, we can take a trace with the metric by choosing an orthonormal basis. \end{rem*} \begin{dfn*} A \CmMark{harmonic $p$-form} with values in $E$ is an element $\omega_i \in \Omega^p(M,E)$ such that $\delta^{\nabla} = \delta^{\nabla} \omega = 0$. As a matter of fact this is equivalent to $\Delta \omega = 0$ for $\Delta := \delta^{\nabla} \circ \dop^{\nabla} + \dop^{\nabla} \circ \delta^{\nabla}$ (Consider $\left<\Delta \omega, \omega\right>$ and utilize the obvious stuff). \end{dfn*} \subsection{Definition of harmonic maps of 1st variation formula} Let $(M,g)$ and $(N,h)$ be two riemannian manifolds and let $f \colon M \to N$ be a smooth map. Then $\dop f \colon \T M \to \T N$ is an element $\dop f \in \Omega^0(\Hom(\T M, f^{*}\T N)) = \Omega^0(\T^{*}M \otimes f^{*}\T N)$. Next, the metrics $g,h$ induce a metric on $\T^{*}M \otimes f^{*}\T N$. \begin{dfn*} The energy density of $f \colon M \to N$ is $e(f) := \frac{1}{2} \left< \dop f, \dop f\right>_{\T^{*}M \otimes f^{*}\T N} = \frac{1}{2} \|\dop f\|^2$. \end{dfn*} Choose co-ordinates $\{x^i\}$ in $M$ and $\{y^i\}$ in $N$. With respect to these, we have \begin{align*} \frac{1}{2} \|\dop f \|^2 = \frac{1}{2}y^{ij} \partial_if^{*}\partial_jf^{\beta}h_{\alpha\beta}(f). \end{align*} \begin{dfn*} The \CmMark{Dirlichlet energy} is given by \begin{align*} E \colon C^2_0(M,N) \to \R, \ f \mapsto \int_M e(f) \dop V_g. \end{align*} A \CmMark{critical map} (or \CmMark{stationary map}) is a map $f \colon M \to N$ such that for all compactly supported $F \colon M \times (-\varepsilon, \varepsilon) \to N$ $C^2$-map (variation of $f$) with $F(x,0) = f(x)$ we have that \begin{align}\label{eq:first-variation} \delta E(\nu) := \left.\frac{\dop}{\dop t} E(F) \right|_{t = 0} = 0 \end{align} for $\nu = \frac{\dop}{\dop t} F|_{t = 0} \in \Omega^0(f^{*}\T N)$. The \cref{eq:first-variation} is called \CmMark{first variation in the direction of $\nu$}. \end{dfn*} \begin{dfn*} The map $f \colon (M,g) \to (N,h)$ is called \CmMark{harmonic}, if it is a critical point for the Dirlichlet energy. \end{dfn*} \begin{dfn*} Let $\dop f \in \Omega^1(M, f^{*}\T N)$ then $\nabla \dop f \in \Omega^0(M, \T^{*}M \otimes \T^{*}M \otimes E)$. The \CmMark{second fundamental form} of $f$ is $\nabla \dop f := B_f$, which is a symmetric $2$-tensor on $M$. \end{dfn*} \begin{dfn*} The \CmMark{tension field} of $f$ is the trace of $B_f$: $\tau(f) := \tr_g(B_f) \in \Omega^0(M,f^{*}\T N)$. \end{dfn*} \begin{thm*}[1st variation of $E$] Let $F \colon M \times (\varepsilon, \varepsilon) \to N$ a variation of $f$ and let $\nu = \frac{\dop}{\dop t}F|_{t = 0}$. Then \begin{align*} \delta E(\nu) = \frac{\dop}{\dop t}E(F)|_{t = 0} = - \int_M \left<\tau(f), \nu\right> \dop v_g. \end{align*} \end{thm*} \begin{proof} The variation $F \colon M \times (-\varepsilon,\varepsilon) \to N$ yields a pullback connection on $F^{*}\T N$, which shows \begin{align*} \frac{\dop}{\dop t}E(F)|_{t = 0} & = \frac{1}{2} \int_M \frac{\dop}{\dop t}\left<\dop F, \dop F\right> \dop V_g|_{t = 0} = \int_M \left<\nabla_{\frac{\partial}{\partial t}}\dop F, \dop F\right> \dop V_g|_{t = 0}\\ & = \int_M \left<\nabla^{f^{*}\T N}\nu, \dop f\right> \dop V_g \overset{(*)}{=} \int_M \left<\nu, \delta^{\nabla^{f^{*}\T N}} \dop f\right> \dop V_g\\ & = -\int_M \left< \nu, \tr_g(\nabla \dop f) \right> \dop V_g = - \int_M \left< \nu, \tau(f)\right> \dop V_g, \end{align*} where $(*)$ follows by a calculation in local co-ordinates. \end{proof} \begin{cor*}[Fundamental theorem of the calculus of variations] A $C^2$-map $f \colon (M,g) \to (N,h)$ is harmonic if and only if $\tau(f) = 0$. \end{cor*} What does $\tau(f) = 0$ look like? Fix local co-ordinates $\{x^i\}$ on $M$ and $\{y^j\}$ on $N$. Then $\dop f = \partial_if^{alpha} \dop x^i \otimes \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\alpha}}$ and thus \begin{align*} \nabla \dop f & = \nabla \partial_i f^{\alpha} \dop x^i \otimes \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\alpha}} = \partial_j\partial_i f^{\alpha} \dop x^j \otimes \dop x^i \otimes \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\alpha}} + \partial_if^{\alpha} \nabla \dop x^i \otimes \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\alpha}}\\ & = A + \partial_i f^{\alpha}(\nabla \dop x^i \otimes \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\alpha}} + \dop x^i \otimes \nabla \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\alpha}})\\ & = A + \partial_i f^{\alpha}( -\Gamma^i_{jk} \dop x^i \otimes \dop x^k \otimes \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\alpha}} + \dop x^i \partial_j f^{\beta} \Gamma^{\gamma}_{\alpha\beta} \frac{\partial}{\partial y^{\gamma}})\\ & = \partial_i \partial_jf^{\gamma} \Gamma_{ij}^k \partial_k f^{\gamma} + \Gamma_{\alpha\beta}^{\gamma}(f) \partial_jf^{\alpha}\partial_if^{\beta)} \dop x^i \otimes \dop x^j \otimes \frac{\partial}{\partial y^j}. \end{align*} Thus $\tau(f) = (\Delta_gf^{\gamma} + \Gamma_{\alpha\beta}^{\gamma}(f) \partial_if^{\alpha}\partial_jf^{\beta}g^{ij})$.
