Let $M^{2d}$ be a compact symplectic manifold and $T$ a compact $n$-dimensional torus. A Hamiltonian action, $\tau$, of $T$ on $M$ is a GKM action if, for every $p \in M^T$, the isotropy representation of $T$ on $T_pM$ has pair-wise…

We prove the existence and the uniqueness of a conformally equivariant symbol calculus and quantization on any conformally flat pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,\rg)$. In other words, we establish a canonical isomorphism between the spaces of…

Suppose that an algebraic torus $G$ acts algebraically on a projective manifold $X$ with generically trivial stabilizers. Then the Zariski closure of the set of pairs $\{(x,y)\in X\times X\mid y=gx \text{for some}g\in G\}$ defines a nonzero…

We give positive formulas for the restriction of a Schubert Class to a T-fixed point in the equivariant K-theory and equivariant cohomology of the Grassmannian. Our formulas rely on a result of Kodiyalam-Raghavan and Kreiman-Lakshmibai,…

We consider mapping class groups \Gamma(M) = pi_0 Diff(M fix \partial M) of smooth compact simply connected oriented 4-manifolds M bounded by a collection of 3-spheres. We show that if M contains CP^2 (with either orientation) as a…

In this paper, as in our previous "Descent-cycling in Schubert calculus" math.CO/0009112, we study the structure constants in equivariant cohomology of flag manifolds G/B. In this one we give a recurrence (which is frequently, but alas not…

We describe a natural $q$-deformation of Fock and Goncharov's canonical basis for the algebra of regular functions on a cluster variety associated to a quiver of type $A$. We then describe an extension of this construction involving a…

On the basis of the covariant description of the canonical formalism for quantization, we present the basic elements of the symplectic geometry for a restricted class of topological defects propagating on a curved background spacetime. We…

When a complex semisimple group $G$ acts holomorphically on a K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$ such that a maximal compact subgroup $K\subset G$ preserves the symplectic form $\omega$, a basic result of symplectic geometry says that the…

Let $X$ be a smooth symplectic variety over a field $k$ of characteristic $p>2$ equipped with a restricted structure, which is a class $[\eta] \in H^0(X, \Omega^1_X/d\mathcal O_X)$ whose de Rham differential equals the symplectic form. In…

Let $M$ be a complex manifold and $S\subset M$ a (possibly singular) subvariety of $M$. Let $f\colon M\to M$ be a holomorphic map such that $f$ restricted to $S$ is the identity. We show that one can associate to $f$ a holomorphic section…

Recent work on canonical transformations in quantum mechanics is applied to transform between the Moncrief metric formulation and the Witten-Carlip holonomy formulation of 2+1-dimensional quantum gravity on the torus. A non-polynomial…

The algebra of polynomials in operators that represent generalized coordinate and momentum and depend on the Planck constant is defined. The Planck constant is treated as the parameter taking values between zero and some nonvanishing $h_0$.…

We describe a method of computing equivariant and ordinary intersection cohomology of certain varieties with actions of algebraic tori, in terms of structure of the zero- and one-dimensional orbits. The class of varieties to which our…

Let $\Sigma_g$ be a closed oriented surface of genus g and let $H_\mathbb{Q}$ denote $H_1(\Sigma_g;\mathbb{Q})$ which we understand to be the standard symplectic vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$ of dimension $2g$. We introduce a canonical…

In this paper, we study Hamiltonian R-actions on symplectic orbifolds [M/S], where R and S are tori. We prove an injectivity theorem and generalize Tolman-Weitsman's proof of the GKM theorem in this setting. The main example is the…

If the circle acts in a Hamiltonian way on a compact symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$, then there are at least $n+1$ fixed points. The case that there are exactly $n+1$ isolated fixed points has its importance due to various reasons.…

Using the analytic assembly map that appears in the Baum-Connes conjecture in noncommutative geometry, we generalise the $\Spin^c$-version of the Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture that `quantisation commutes with reduction' to (discrete series…

We present a new proof of a result due to Taubes: if X is a closed symplectic four-manifold with b_+(X) > 1+b_1(X) and with some positive multiple of the symplectic form a rational class, then the Poincare dual of the canonical class of X…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a Hamiltonian $G$-space with a momentum map $F:M \to {\frak g}^*$. It is well-known that if $\alpha$ is a regular value of $F$ and $G$ acts freely and properly on the level set $F^{-1}(G\cdot \alpha)$, then the reduced…
