Abstract: We show that the exterior derivative operator on a symplectic manifold has a natural decomposition into two linear differential operators, analogous to the Dolbeault operators in complex geometry. These operators map primitive forms into primitive forms and therefore lead directly to the construction of primitive cohomologies on symplectic manifolds. Using these operators, we introduce new primitive cohomologies that are analogous to the Dolbeault cohomology in the complex theory. Interestingly, the finiteness of these primitive cohomologies follows directly from an elliptic complex. We calculate the known primitive cohomologies on a nilmanifold and show that their dimensions can vary depending on the class of the symplectic form.


The authors continue their study of primitive cohomologies introduced in Part I [ibid. 91, No. 3, 383--416 (2012; Zbl 1275.53079)]. These cohomologies are here explained in analogy with the complex case using a natural decomposition of the exterior derivative operator into two linear differential operators similar to Dolbeault operators from the complex case. These primitive cohomologies are finite and for symplectic nilmanifolds, their dimensions depend on the class of the symplectic form.
