The paper contains a short review of the theory of symplectic and contact manifolds and of the generalization of this theory to the case of supermanifolds. It is shown that this generalization can be used to obtain some important results in…
We generalise the theories of cosymplectic, contact, and cocontact manifolds to the infinite-dimensional setting and calculate model examples of time-dependent and dissipative Hamiltonian systems.
We study the geometry of homogeneous hypersurfaces and their focal sets in complex hyperbolic spaces. In particular, we provide a characterization of the focal set in terms of its second fundamental form and determine the principal…
This preliminary report studies immersed surfaces of constant mean curvature in $H^3$ through their {\it adjusted Gauss maps} (as harmonic maps in $S^2$) and their {\it adjusted frames} in SU(2). Lawson's correspondence between Euclidean…
We study the algebraic hyperbolicity of certain subvarieties of homogeneous varieties, building on the techniques introduced by Coskun-Riedl, Yeong and Mioranci. This generalizes earlier known results for hypersurfaces to higher…
We reduce CR-structures on smooth elliptic and hyperbolic manifolds of CR-codimension 2 to parallelisms thus solving the problem of global equivalence for such manifolds. The parallelism that we construct is defined on a sequence of two…
We study generalized almost contact structures on odd-dimensional manifolds. We introduce a notion of integrability and show that the class of these structures is closed under symmetries of the Courant-Dorfman bracket, including T-duality.…
Contact geometry has been applied to various mathematical sciences, and it has been proposed that a contact manifold and a strictly convex function induce a dually flat space that is used in information geometry. Here, such a dually flat…
Hyperbolic geometry has recently found applications in social networks, machine learning and computational biology. With the increasing popularity, questions about the best representations of hyperbolic spaces arise, as each representation…
The current paper is devoted to the study of integral curves of constant type in parabolic homogeneous spaces. We construct a canonical moving frame bundle for such curves and give the criterium when it turns out to be a Cartan connection.…
Characteristic class relations in Dolbeault cohomology follow from the existence of a holomorphic Cartan geometry (for example, a holomorphic conformal structure or a holomorphic projective connection). These relations can be calculated…
By analogy with complex numbers, a system of hyperbolic numbers can be introduced in the same way: z=x+h*y with h*h=1 and x,y real numbers. As complex numbers are linked to the Euclidean geometry, so this system of numbers is linked to the…
Integrable Hamiltonian systems on symplectic manifolds have been well-studied. However, an intrinsic property of these kind of systems is that they can only live on even dimensional manifolds. To introduce a similar notion of integrability…
This article sketches various ideas in contact geometry that have become useful in low-dimensional topology. Specifically we (1) outline the proof of Eliashberg and Thurston's results concerning perturbations of foliatoins into contact…
We study geometry, topology and deformation spaces of noncompact complex hyperbolic manifolds (geometrically finite, with variable negative curvature), whose properties make them surprisingly different from real hyperbolic manifolds with…
In this paper we construct complex contact structures on $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$ for any $n\ge 1$ with the property that every holomorphic Legendrian map $\mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$ is constant. In particular, these contact structures are…
In this paper, we will give a complete geometric background for the geometry of Painlev\'e $VI$ and Garnier equations. By geometric invariant theory, we will construct a smooth coarse moduli space $M_n^{\balpha}(\bt, \blambda, L) $ of…
This book is an introduction to hyperbolic geometry in dimension three, and its applications to knot theory and to geometric problems arising in knot theory. It has three parts. The first part covers basic tools in hyperbolic geometry and…
We classify the polycyclic totally ordered simple dimension groups, i.e. dimension groups given by a dense embedding of n-dimensional lattice into the real line. Our method is based on the geometry of simple geodesics on the hyperbolic…
We introduce the notions of geometric height and graded (geometric) relative hyperbolicity in this paper. We use these to characterize quasiconvexity in hyperbolic groups, relative quasiconvexity in relatively hyperbolic groups, and convex…
