Linear and nonlinear Hodge-like systems for 1-forms are studied, with an assumption equivalent to complete integrability substituted for the requirement of closure under exterior differentiation. The systems are placed in a variational…

A theorem of Maurer-Cartan type for Lie algebroids is presented. Suppose that any vector subbundle of a Lie algebroid is called interior differential system (IDS) for that Lie algebroid. A theorem of Cartan type is obtained. Extending the…
There is an isomorphism between the moduli spaces of $\sigma$-stable holomorphic triples and some of the critical submanifolds of the moduli space of $k$-Higgs bundles of rank three, whose elements $(E,\varphi^k)$ correspond to variations…
The key problem of the theory of exterior differential systems (EDS) is to decide whether or not a system is in involution. The special case of EDSs generated by one-forms (Pfaffian systems) can be adequately illustrated by a 2-dimensional…
I describe work in progress with Baryshnikov and Zharnitsky on periodic billiard orbits that leads one to an exterior differential system (EDS). I then give a brief introduction to EDS illustrated by several examples.
We review recent developments in differential topology with special concern for their possible significance to physical theories, especially general relativity. In particular we are concerned here with the discovery of the existence of…
