Model of Sullivan CGDA A commutative graded differential algebra over the rational numbers is a graded Q-algebra (A, d) such that { ab = ( 1) a b ba ( ) d(ab) = (da).b +( 1) a b.da for all a, b A My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Model of Sullivan How to build it From any differential and graded Q-vector space V, we define the cgda ΛV denotes defined by ΛV = TV v w ( 1) v w w v where TV denotes the tensor algebra over V. The differential on ΛV is naturally extended from that of V with respecting the condition (*) called of nilpotence or of Leibniz My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Model of Sullivan Model of Sullivan Our cgda is called a model of Sullivan when there exists some well ordered basis (v α ) α I of V such that dv α Λ{v β, β < α} My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Model of Sullivan Minimal model The model of Sullivan is called minimal when α < β = v α v β My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Model of Sullivan Elliptic model The minimal model is called elliptic when both V and H (ΛV, d) are finite dimensional, in this case (ΛV, d) = (Λ{x 1,..., x n }, d) with x 1... x n dx 1 = 0 and dx j Λ(x 1,...,x j 1 ) for j 2 My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Sullivan, [Su] Any simply connected space have a minimal model of Sullivan, (ΛV, d) (unique up to isomorphism of cgda), who models its cohomology and homotopy as follows : H k (X;Q) = H k (ΛV, d) π k (X) Q = V k My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Model of Sullivan Basic Examples For the odd sphere : S 2k+1, the model is the form (Λ{x}, 0) with x = 2k + 1. So π n (S 2k+1 ) = Z if n = 2k + 1 = 0 if not My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Model of Sullivan Basic Examples For the even sphere :S 2k, the model is the form(λ{x, y}, d) with x = 2k, y = 4k 1, dy = x 2. So π n (S 2k ) = Z if n = 2k = Z if n = 4k 1 = 0 if not My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 8 / 25

Conjecture H Hilali Conjecture (1990) For any elliptic and simply connected topological space X, we have dim(π (X) Q) dim H (X;Q) My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 9 / 25

Conjecture H Algebraic version For any elliptic model of Sullivan, (ΛV, d) we have dim V dim H (ΛV, d) My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 9 / 25

Conjecture H Simple example in which it holds For the sphere S n we have seen that dim V = 1 or 2, and its well known that for all other i. H 0 (S n ;Q) = H n (S n ;Q) = Q and H i (X;Q) = 0 My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 9 / 25

Euler-Poincaré characteristic Definition For any 1-connected elliptic model (ΛV, d) we define two invariants. One cohomological : χ c := k 0( 1) k dim H k (ΛV, d) and another homotopic : χ π := k 0( 1) k dim(v k ) My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 10 / 25

Euler-Poincaré characteristic S. Halperin, [Ha83] we have the following : Morever, χ c 0 and χ π 0 χ c > 0 χ π = 0 My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 10 / 25

Euler-Poincaré characteristic Util Remark The conjecture H was resolved in the so called pure case where χ π = 0 (see [HM08]), so the opposite and remainder case is that when χ c = 0, i.e., dim H (ΛV, d) = 2 dim H even (ΛV, d) My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 10 / 25

Motivation Main Motivation Intermediate way to resolve the famous Toral Rank Conjecture My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 11 / 25

Motivation Toral Rank rk 0 (X) := The largest integer n 1 for which X admits an almost-free n-torus action My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 11 / 25

Motivation Toral Rank Conjecture (TRC), S.Halperin(86) If X is an elliptic and simply connected space, then dim H (X;Q) 2 rk 0(X) My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 11 / 25

Motivation The link As χ π = dim V even dim V odd 0, then write dim V even = n, dim V odd = n+ p, dim V = 2n+p. We know by [AH78] that rk 0 (X) χ π = p, the write TRC : Conj. H : dim H (X;Q) 2 p ε dim H (X;Q) 2n+p 2n+p 2 p ε + Conj H = CRT My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 11 / 25

Formal dimension Definition For an elliptic space X, we put fd(x) := max{k, H k (X,Q) 0} My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 12 / 25

Formal dimension J. Friedlander and S. Halperin, [FH79] If X is a 1-connected and elliptic space of minimal Sullivan model (ΛV, d), then fd(x) dim V Best known result, losed source If X is a 1-connected and elliptic manifold, then fd(x) = dim X My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 13 / 25

Symplectic case Definition A symplectic manifold is a smooth manifold X = M 2m, endowed with a closed and nondegenerate 2-form, called the symplectic form. My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 14 / 25

Symplectic case Sketch of proof In the compact case, this implies that there is a nonnull cohomolgical class ω in H 2 (X,Q). Morever symplectic manifolds verify a particular Poincaré duality : The "multiplication" ω k : H m k (X,Q) H m+k (X,Q) is an isomorphism for any k {0,..., m}. Thus each cohomolgical class ω k is non-null in H 2k (X,Q), what means that dim H (ΛV, d) = 2 dim H even (ΛV, d) 2m+2 > 2m = fd(x) dim V. My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 15 / 25

Cosymplectic manifolds Definition A cosymplectic structure on a 2m + 1-dimension manifold X = M 2n+1, is the data of a closed 1-form θ and a closed 2-form ω such that θ ω k is a volume form on X, where ω k denotes the product of k copies of ω. My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 16 / 25

Cosymplectic manifolds Sketch of proof From [BG67], all dim H k (X;Q) non zero. Thus dim H (ΛV, d) 2m+2 > 2m+1 = fd(x) dim V. (ΛV, d) is not necessary 1-connected because all the known examples of cosymplectic manifolds are non 1-connected, but π 1 is that of a torus of dimension 1 or a nilpotent group. However they have minimal models which satisfy the property that fd(x) dimv. My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 17 / 25

Hopf Conjecture If closed 1-connected manifold M n admits a metric of nonnegative sectional curvature, then χ c 0. My Ismail Mamouni (CPGE-CPR Rabat) CIMPA 2012, Beyrouth A conjecture in RHT 18 / 25

Sullivan & M. Vigué Suppose M is a rationally elliptic Riemannian n-manifold which has an isometry with no invariant geodesics. Then n is even. Theorem, K. Grove, S. Haplerin & M.
