1 Topological invariants of generalized Kummer manifolds Slide 1 Andrew Baker, Glasgow (joint work with Mark Brightwell, Heriot-Watt) 14th British Topology Meeting, Swansea, 1999 (July 13, 2001) 1 Generalized Kummer manifolds Slide 1 Let L C 2m be a lattice and consider the compact complex torus X L = C 2m /L. Let Γ Aut(L) SL 2m C be a (finite) group of automorphisms of L whose action on C 2m is semifree (i.e., free away from 0). XL Γ consists of finitely many isolated fixed points, so the orbifold X L /Γ has finitely many isolated singularities. We can resolve these singularities by blowing up each of the singular points. In fact, we can do this once and for all by blowing up the fixed point set and then passing to a quotient manifold. X Γ L Locally, at each p XL Γ choose a holomorphic chart z = (z 1,..., z 2m ): U U C 2m with z(p) = 0. Then define Ũ = {(u, [w]) U CP 2m 1 : z i (u)w j = z j (u)w i }. This can be extended to define a submanifold of X L CP 2m 1.
2 Repeating this for all the fixed points we obtain a map Slide 2 π : XL X L which is a biholomorpic equivalence away from XL Γ and for each p XL Γ we have π 1 p = CP 2m 1 p = CP 2m 1. The normal bundle ν(cp 2m 1 p X L ) can be identified with the canonical line bundle η CP 2m 1. Γ may act nontrivially on each exceptional divisor CP 2m 1 p. For simplicity, we assume that Γ consists of scalar multiplications, hence the action on the exceptional divisors is trivial. This also means that Γ is cyclic. The quotient map π : XL K L,Γ = X L /Γ maps the total space of each η CPp 2m 1 to η d(p) CP 2m 1 p where d(p) = Stab Γ (p). 2 Blow-up formulæ Slide 3 In order to calculate with blow-ups, a result of I. Porteous [4] is of fundamental importance. Let π : X X be a blow-up map at the point p X. Let j : CP n 1 p X be the inclusion of the exceptional divisor and let λ CP n 1 p be the normal line bundle of j. Write u = j 1 H 2 ( X) and v = j u H 2 (CPp n 1 ). In K-theory we have π TX = T X + j! (π TX p λ), with j! the K-theory push forward map, and in rational cohomology ( )) ch π TX = ch T X 1 e + j ((ch π v TX p ch λ) v = ch T X + (n e u )(1 e u ).
3 3 Equivariant Index Formulæ We will consider the calculations of two invariants, namely sign(k L,Γ ) and A(K L,Γ ). Suppose that Γ acts smoothly on a compact closed manifold M. Slide 4 Theorem 3.1 We have sign(m/γ) = 1 sign(g, M). where sign(g, M) = Tr g H 2m (M;R) + Tr g H 2m (M;R). When Γ acts on a complex manifold by holomorphic maps, this local signature can be calculated in other ways. Proposition 3.2 If Γ = {1, τ} where τ is an orientation preserving involution on M, then the self intersection M τ M τ of M τ in M has signature Using this we have sign(m τ M τ ) = sign(τ, M). Slide 5 Proposition 3.3 The signature of K L,{1,τ} is sign(k L,{1,τ} ) = 2 4m, hence the lattice H 2m (K L,{1,τ} ; Z) equipped with the canonical intersection form is equivalent to ( ) 1 4m 0 1 ( 2 4m 3 E 8 ). 2 2m 1 0
4 The A-genus can be determined using another equivariant index formula. Slide 6 Theorem 3.4 If Γ acts holomorphically on the compact complex closed manifold M and ξ M/Γ is a holomorphic vector bundle, then χ(m/γ, ξ) = 1 A(M/Γ) = χ(m/γ, ε 1 ) = 1 ( χ M g, π ) ξ M g λ 1 (ν(m g ). (g) In particular, if ξ = ε 1 is the trivial 1-dimensional bundle, ( χ M g, Proposition 3.5 The A-genus of K L,{1,τ} is 1 λ 1 (ν(m g ) )(g) ). A(K L,{1,τ} ) = 2 2m 1. When m = 1, this is a well known result on Kummer surfaces. 4 Brightwell s Suzuki manifold The Leech lattice L R 24 is a module over Z[ω] hence has a complex structure and an embedding L C 12. Then Aut Z[ω] (L) = 6 Suz and there is a Kummer manifold K L,Z/6 on which the simple group Suz acts. The fixed point data for the action of Z/6 = γ on X L is Slide 7 γ, γ 1 : 1 fixed point 0 + L; γ 2, γ 4 : 3 12 fixed points; γ 3 : 2 24 fixed points. The above methods can be used to determine the following invariants. sign(k L,Z/6 ) = 1 ( ), 6 A(K L,Z/6 ) = 1 ( ). 3
