We prove that all intersection numbers in the compactly supported cohomology of M vanish, i.e. &quot;there are no topological L2 harmonic forms on M&quot;. This result generalizes the well known vanishing of the Euler characteristic of the moduli space of rank 2 stable bundles N of fixed determinant of odd degree over ∑. Our proof shows that the vanishing of all intersection numbers of H* cpt(M) is given by relations analogous to the Mumford relations in the cohomology ring of N."}],"issue":"5","year":"1998","external_id":{"arxiv":["math/9805071"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"page":"1011 - 1040","_id":"1450","publication":"Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics","day":"01","status":"public","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:52:06Z","scopus_import":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1095-0761"]},"month":"09","date_published":"1998-09-01T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"No","publication_status":"published","author":[{"id":"4A0666D8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Hausel, Tamas","first_name":"Tamas","last_name":"Hausel"}],"publisher":"International Press","oa_version":"Preprint"}
