Higher Dimensional Asymptotic Cycles
Let \(M^n\) be a smooth compact oriented \(n\)-manifold with a smooth oriented action of a connected Lie group \(L\) whose orbits have dimension \(p\). Given a \(p\)-dimensional oriented foliation of \(M^n\) and a tranversal invariant measure, D. Sullivan has defined an element of \(H_p(M^n,\mathbb{R})\) which generalized the notion of an asymptotic cycle. A quantifier is a continuous field of \(p\)-vectors on \(M^n\), everywhere tangent to the orbits and invariant under the action of \(L\). A quantifer is said to be positive if it is nowhere zero and at each point of \(M^n\) determines an orientation of the tangent space to the orbit through that point that agrees with the orientation associated with the oriented action. In the one-dimensional case such a quantifier is provided by the vector field defining a flow. In this paper sufficient conditions for the existence of such a quantifier are given. Let \(\nu\) be a positive quantifier, \(\mu\) an invariant measure, and \(\lambda^\nu_\mu(\omega)= \int_{M^n}\omega\rfloor \nu d\mu\) a linear functional on the space of \(C^\infty\) \(p\)-forms \(\omega\). \(\lambda^\nu_\mu\) is a closed current and \(\lambda^\nu_\mu\) defines an element \(A^\nu_\mu\) in \(H_p(M^n,\mathbb{R})\) which is said to be asymptotic cycle associated with the pair \((\mu,\nu)\). Theorem 1: If \(\nu\) is a positive quantifier and the invariant measure \(\mu\) arises from a positive \(n\)-form \(\omega\), then \(\omega\rfloor\nu\) is closed and \(A^\nu_\mu\) can be obtained by Poincaré duality from the element of \(H^{n-p}(M^n,\mathbb{R})\) determined by \(\omega\rfloor \nu\). Here \(\omega\rfloor\nu\) is the interior product of \(\omega\) with \(\nu\). Let \(\tau\) be a transversal invariant measure, and \(\lambda_\tau\) the closed current determined by \(\tau\). The author also proves the following Theorem 2: There is a 1-1 correspondence between the transversal invariant measures \(\tau\) and finite invariant measures \(\mu\) on the Borel subsets of \(M^n\) such that \(\lambda_\tau= \lambda^\nu_\mu\) if \(\tau\) and \(\mu\) correspond.
