Lecture IV - (Integral) affine manifolds and Lagrangian fibrations II

This lecture continues with the study of (integral) affine manifolds. First, some important invariants associated to these manifolds (the affine and linear holonomies and the radiance obstruction) are constructed. Particular attention is devoted to the radiance obstruction, a cohomology class constructed by Goldman and Hirsch which contains important information about the given (integral) affine structure. Secondly, it is proved that a manifold is the base of any Lagrangian fibre bundle with compact and connected fibres if and only if it is an integral affine manifold, which allows to study the problem of constructing all Lagrangian fibre bundles with compact and connected fibres over a fixed integral affine manifold. As usual, the theory developed is illustrated by means of examples.
