Abstract: We show how certain topological properties of co-K"ahler manifolds derive from those of the K"ahler manifolds which construct them. In particular, we show that the existence of parallel forms on a co-K"ahler manifold reduces the computation of cohomology from the de Rham complex to certain amenable sub-cdga's defined by geometrically natural operators derived from the co-K"ahler structure. This provides a simpler proof of the formality of the foliation minimal model in this context.

Review text

In this paper the following point of view is taken: topological and geometric properties of co-Kähler manifolds are inherited from those of the Kähler manifolds that construct them. This is called the hereditary principle and one shall see this in both topological and geometric contexts. In [J. Geom. Phys. 61, No. 6, 1001--1016 (2011; Zbl 1214.58002)], \textit{M. Verbitsky} showed that whenever a smooth Riemannian manifold has a parallel form, one can define a derivation of the de Rham algebra whose kernel is quasi-isomorphic to the manifold's real cohomology algebra. By using this, the authors give a new decomposition of the cohomology of a co-Kähler manifold in terms of the basic cohomology of the associated transversally Kähler characteristic foliation. This leads to a new proof of the ``Lefschetz property. Moreover the minimal model of a compact co-Kähler manifold is constructed from the minimal model of the basic cohomology with an extra generator in degree one. Co-Kähler manifolds satisfy the Toral Rank Conjecture. Instead of modifying the co-Kähler structure to one coming from a mapping torus, the authors work with the characteristic foliation intrinsically associated to the given co-Kähler structure. Thus the Lefschetz property is proved for the given co-Kähler structure, not for an associated one.
