         Title: Cohomology for linearized Ricci curvature



         Abstract


I will present full solvability and uniqueness conditions for the
linearized Ricci curvature equations on compact Riemannian manifolds with
boundary. These equations have long resisted analysis without restrictive
curvature assumptions; the results I shall present are the first obtained
without such restrictions in the interior. The approach relies on a
generalized Hodge theory, based on microlocal methods, to reduce the
problem to the study of two newly identified cohomologies. By means of
Bochner technique, I also prove vanishing theorems for these cohomologies:
notably, by incorporating connections on Riemannian metrics, the first
cohomology vanishes if the boundary is convex, and the second cohomology
vanishes if adapted to traceless-transverse (TT) tensors, and the boundary
is round. I shall also discuss how this cohomological formulation captures
the natural gauge group of geometric inverse problems and relates to the
injectivity of the Lichnerowicz Laplacians on TT tensors.
