Symplectic and Poisson geometry emerged as a tool to understand the mathematical structure behind classical mechanics. However, due to its huge development over the past century, it has become an independent field of research in…
This is a review of the relation between supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and target space geometry. In particular, we report on the derivation of generalized K\"ahler geometry from sigma models with additional spinorial superfields.…
Generalized tensor analysis in the sense of Colombeau's construction is employed to introduce a nonlinear distributional pseudo-Riemannian geometry. In particular, after deriving several characterizations of invertibility in the algebra of…
We introduce many new generalizations of Poisson algebras which can be constructed inside the associative algebra of linear transformations over a vector space.
We look at generalized complex structures from the point of view of Poisson and Dirac geometry and we remark that the puzzling equations underlying the notion of generalized complex structure have miraculously simple meaning when passing to…
We continue the study of blow-ups in generalized complex geometry with the blow-up theory for generalized K\"ahler manifolds. The natural candidates for submanifolds to be blown-up are those which are generalized Poisson for one of the two…
An operator generalisation of the notion of geometric phase has been recently proposed purely based on physical grounds. Here we provide a mathematical foundation for its existence, while uncovering new geometrical structures in quantum…
In this paper, we present a series of techniques to describe General Relativity using Geometric Algebra (GA). We emphasize the physical interpretation of quantities and provide a step-by-step guide for performing calculations. In doing so,…
Our paper develops a theory of Poisson slices and a uniform approach to their partial compactifications. The theory in question is loosely comparable to that of symplectic cross-sections in real symplectic geometry.
After an elementary presentation of the relation between supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models and geometry, I focus on 2D and the target space geometry allowed when there is an extra supersymmetry. This leads to a brief introduction to…
There have been several attempts in recent years to extend the notions of symplectic and Poisson structures in order to create a suitable geometrical framework for classical field theories, trying to achieve a success similar to the use of…
In this paper we study left invariant CR structures on Lie groups which are compatible with geometric properties as Poisson and kahler properties.
We solve the problem of determining the fundamental degrees of freedom underlying a generalized K\"ahler structure of symplectic type. For a usual K\"ahler structure, it is well-known that the geometry is determined by a complex structure,…
We study a number of local and global classification problems in generalized complex geometry. In the first topic, we characterize the local structure of generalized complex manifolds by proving that a generalized complex structure near a…
These are expanded notes from lectures given at the \'{E}tats de la Recherche workshop on "Derived algebraic geometry and interactions". These notes serve as an introduction to the emerging theory of Poisson structures on derived stacks.
We consider the generalized Kahler structures (g,J_+,J_-) that arise on a hyperkahler manifold (M,g,I,J,K) when we choose J_+ and J_- from the twistor space of M. We find a relation between semichiral and arctic superfields which can be…
We investigate Snyder space-time and its generalizations, including Yang and Snyder-de-Sitter spaces, which constitute manifestly Lorenz invariant noncommutative geometries. This work initiates a systematic study of gauge theory on such…
Let X be a compact Kahler manifold with a non-trivial holomorphic Poisson structure. Then there exist deformations of non-trivial generalized Kahler structures with one pure spinor on X. We prove that every Poisson submanifold of X is a…
\noindent We briefly discuss some algebraic and geometric aspects of the generalized Poisson bracket and non--commutative phase space for generalized quantum dynamics, which are analogous to properties of the classical Poisson bracket and…
Inspired by the geometric bracket for the generalized covariant Hamilton system, we abstractly define a generalized geometric commutator $$\left[ a,b \right]={{\left[ a,b \right]}_{cr}}+G\left(s,a,b \right)$$ formally equipped with…
