We first introduce an invariant index for G-equivariant elliptic differential operators on a locally compact manifold M admitting a proper cocompact action of a locally compact group G. It generalizes the Kawasaki index for orbifolds to the…

The (local) invariant symplectic action functional $\A$ is associated to a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group $\G$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, endowed with a $\G$-invariant Riemannian metric $<\cdot,\cdot>_M$. It…

We outline the construction of invariants of Hamiltonian group actions on symplectic manifolds. These invariants can be viewed as an equivariant version of Gromov-Witten invariants. They are derived from solutions of a PDE involving the…

We prove that the Grothendieck-Springer simultaneous resolution viewed as a correspondence between the adjoint quotient of a Lie algebra and its maximal torus is Lagrangian in the sense of shifted symplectic structures. As Hamiltonian…
