Complex cobordism, Hamiltonian loops and global Kuranishi charts
Abstract
Let (X,ω) be a closed symplectic manifold. A loop φ: S1 Diff(X) of diffeomorphisms of X defines a fibration π: Pφ S2. By applying Gromov-Witten theory to moduli spaces of holomorphic sections of π, Lalonde, McDuff and Polterovich proved that if φ lifts to the Hamiltonian group Ham(X,ω), then the rational cohomology of Pφ splits additively. We prove, with the same assumptions, that the E-generalised cohomology of Pφ splits additively for any complex-oriented cohomology theory E, in particular the integral cohomology splits. This class of examples includes all complex projective varieties equipped with a smooth morphism to CP1, in which case the analogous rational result was proved by Deligne using Hodge theory. The argument employs virtual fundamental cycles of moduli spaces of sections of π in Morava K-theory and results from chromatic homotopy theory. Our proof involves a construction of independent interest: we build global Kuranishi charts for moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in X in a class β ∈ H2(X;Z), depending on a choice of integral symplectic form on X and ample Hermitian line bundle over the moduli space of one-pointed degree d = ,β stable genus zero curves in CPd.
