For a Kähler manifold the operation of forming the wedge product with the symplectic form induces on de Rham cohomology the Lefschetz operator
The hard Lefschetz theorem asserts that if is compact with complex dimension , then for all the th power of the -operation induces an isomorphism
Using that is a -form this means equivalently in terms of Dolbeault cohomology that for all we have an isomorphism
This exhibits the symmetry of the Hodge diamond? under reflection about the horizontal diagonal.
The hard Lefschetz theorem induces the Lefschetz decomposition (see there) of the de Rham cohomology of .
The hard Leftschetz theorem also applies to other objects, for instance, to matroids (see Huh 22).
