Involution action on $H^1(S^1times S^2)$












0












$begingroup$


I am studying about an action $I^*$ on a de Rham cohomology group $H^1(S^1times S^2)$ induced from an action $Icdot (z,x)=(overline{z},-x) $ where $S^1times S^2subset mathbb{C}times mathbb{R}^3$. Note that, by Kunneth formula, $$H^1(S^1times S^2)=mathbb{R}.$$



Thus, I want to find a nonzero element in $H^1(S^1times S^2)$ and want to see how $I^*$ acts to the element.



And my teacher taught me as below.



Let $dtheta in Omega^1(S^1)$ be a generator of $H^1(S^1)=mathbb{R}.$ And let $pi:S^1times S^2rightarrow S^1$ and let $omega=pi^*(dtheta)$. Then clearly, $domega=0$ so $[omega]$ is nonzero element in $H^1(S^1times S^2)$. If $iota : S^1times {text{north pole}}hookrightarrow S^1times S^2$ is an embedding, observe that
$$picirciota =Id implies iota^*pi^*=Id implies iota^*(omega)=dtheta implies iota^*[omega]=[dtheta] $$



Thus, $$I^*omega=I^*pi^*(dtheta)=pi^*(I_1^*dtheta)=pi^*(-dtheta)=-omega.$$



So we get $I^*=-Id$.




But I got stuck at why $I_1^*dtheta=-dtheta$.



If we see carefully, $I_1^*dtheta(z)=dtheta(overline{z})$. I don't know where is wrong and where I am missing.




I would very appreciate for any help and solution for this issue! Thank you!

          @LeB: Yes. It is common to denote the generator of $H^1_{text{dR}}(S^1)$ by $dtheta$ where $theta$ is the argument function.
