Formality of Donaldson submanifolds

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce the concept of s-formal minimal model as an extension of formality. We prove that any orientable compact manifold M, of dimension 2n or (2n-1), is formal if and only if M is (n-1)-formal. The formality and the hard Lefschetz property are studied for the symplectic manifolds constructed by Donaldson with asymptotically holomorphic techniques. This study permits us to show an example of a Donaldson symplectic manifold of dimension eight which is formal simply connected and does not satisfy the hard Lefschetz theorem.


This paper introduces a concept of an \(s\)-formal minimal model extending the notion of formality. It is shown that an orientable compact manifold of dimension \(2n\) or \(2n-1\) is formal if and only if it is \(n-1\) formal. The authors then consider examples of Donaldson submanifolds of symplectic manifolds to see if they are formal or satisfy the hard Lefschetz property. (update August 2007): In the erratum it is stated that Lemma 2.7 is incorrect. A correct version is given.
