Reduced holonomy and Hodge theory

Abstract: We develop Hodge theory for a Riemannian manifold

(M, g)

with a background closed 3-form, H. Precisely, we prove that if the metric connections with torsion

p m H

have holonomy groups

G_{p} m

, then the

d^{H}

-Laplacian preserves the irreducible representations of the Lie algebras of the holonomy groups on the space of forms.
