Top-degree solvability for hypocomplex structures and the cohomology of left-invariant involutive structures on compact Lie groups

Abstract

We use the theory of dual of Frechet-Schwartz (DFS) spaces to establish a sufficient condition for top-degree solvability for the differential complex associated to a hypocomplex locally integrable structure. As an application, we show that the top-degree cohomology of left-invariant hypocomplex structures on a compact Lie group can be computed only by using left-invariant forms, thus reducing the computation to a purely algebraic one. In the case of left-invariant elliptic involutive structures on compact Lie groups, under certain reasonable conditions, we prove that the cohomology associated to the involutive structure can be computed only by using left-invariant forms.
