The paper introduces a new differential-geometric system which originates from the theory of $m$-Hessian operators. The core of this system is a new notion of invariant differentiation on multidimensional surfaces. This novelty gives rise…

In this paper we make an overview of results relating the recent "discoveries" in differential geometry, such as higher structures and differential graded manifolds with some natural problems coming from mechanics. We explain that a lot of…

We exhibit a relationship between projective duality and the sheaf of logarithmic vector fields along a reduced divisor $D$ of projective space, in that the push-forward of the ideal sheaf of the conormal variety in the point-hyperplane…

The two main theorems proved here are as follows: If $A$ is a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, the identity component of the algebraic group of outer automorphisms of $A$ is invariant under derived equivalence.…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold satisfying a weighted Poincar\'e inequality, and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a Hermitian vector bundle over $M$ equipped with a metric covariant derivative $\nabla$. We consider the operator…

This article shows that the approach to generalised curvature and torsion pioneered by Polacek and Siegel [1] is a generalisation of Cartan Geometry -- rendering latter natural from the point of view of O(d,d)-generalised geometry. We…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, and $m$ be a second metric on $M$. We give expressions of $m$'s associated connection, and Riemann curvature tensor $R_m$, in terms of $R_g$ and certain combinations of covariant derivatives of $m$…

A method of generating differential operators is used to solve the spectral problem for a generalisation of the Sylvester-Kac matrix. As a by-product, we find a linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients of the first order…

We give more details about an integrable system in which the Dirac operator D=d+d^* on a finite simple graph G or Riemannian manifold M is deformed using a Hamiltonian system D'=[B,h(D)] with B=d-d^* + i b. The deformed operator D(t) = d(t)…

We study the geometry of determinant line bundles associated to Dirac operators on compact odd dimensional manifolds. Physically, these arise as (local) vacuum line bundles in quantum gauge theory. We give a simplified derivation of the…

For any smooth irreducible projective curve $X$, the gonality sequence $\{d_r \;| \; r \in \mathbb N \}$ is a strictly increasing sequence of positive integer invariants of $X$. In most known cases $d_{r+1}$ is not much bigger than $d_r$.…

An action of a Lie algebra $\frak g$ on a manifold $M$ is just a Lie algebra homomorphism $\zeta:\frak g\to \frak X(M)$. We define orbits for such an action. In general the space of orbits $M/\frak g$ is not a manifold and even has a bad…

This thesis is concerned with the theory of invariant bilinear differential pairings on parabolic geometries. It introduces the concept formally with the help of the jet bundle formalism and provides a detailed analysis. More precisely,…

Generalizing the algebra of motion-invariant differential operators on a symmetric space we study invariant operators on equivariant vector bundles. We show that the eigenequation is equivalent to the corresponding eigenequation with…

In this paper we define and study pseudoholomorphic vector bundles structures, particular cases of which are tangent and normal bundle almost complex structures. These are intrinsically related to the Gromov D-operator. As an application we…

Let F be a smooth real manifold with a linear connection in the tangent bundle. How can we extend the coefficients of the connection to bi-differential operators that incorporate the original structure at zero order? Take a constant mapping…

INTRODUCTION This papers deals with partial differential equations of second order, linear, with constant and not constant coefficients, in two variables, which admit real characteristics. I face the study of PDEs with the mentality of the…
