We study cohomology-free (c.f.) diffeomorphisms of the torus $T^n$. A diffeomorphism is c.f. if every smooth function $f$ on $T^n$ is cohomologous to a constant $f_0$, i.e. there exists a $C^{\infty}$ function $h$ so that $h-h\circ\varphi=f-f_0$. We show that the only c.f. diffeomorphisms of $T^n$, $1\le n\le3$, are the smooth conjugations of Diophantine translations. For $n=4$, we prove the same result for c.f. orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
