For field theories in curved spacetime, defining how matter gravitates is part of the theory building process. In this letter, we adopt Bekenstein's multiple geometries approach to allow part of the matter sector to follow the geodesics on…
Symmetric Space Sine-Gordon theories are two-dimensional massive integrable field theories, generalising the Sine-Gordon and Complex Sine-Gordon theories. To study their integrability properties on the real line, it is necessary 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…
We study some graded geometric constructions appearing naturally in the context of gauge theories. Inspired by a known relation of gauging with equivariant cohomology we generalize the latter notion to the case of arbitrary Q-manifolds…
We give an exposition of graded and microformal geometry, and the language of $Q$-manifolds. $Q$-manifolds are supermanifolds endowed with an odd vector field of square zero. They can be seen as a non-linear analogue of Lie algebras (in…
The revised version has two additional references and a shorter proof of Proposition 5.7. This version also makes numerous small changes and has an appendix containing a proof of the degree formula for a parametrized surface.
A family of Poisson structures, parametrised by an arbitrary odd periodic function $\phi$, is defined on the space $\cW$ of twisted polygons in $\RR^\nu$. Poisson reductions with respect to two Poisson group actions on $\cW$ are described.…
We introduce a Poisson version of the graded twist of a graded associative algebra and prove that every graded Poisson structure on a connected graded polynomial ring $A:=\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is a graded twist of a unimodular Poisson…
Gradients of the perimeter and area of a polygon have straightforward geometric interpretations. The use of optimality conditions for constrained problems and basic ideas in triangle geometry show that polygons with prescribed area…
In this paper I present a kind of proof for classical Euclidean geometric problems which relies on both synthetic and analytic geometry. Using the elementary tools of polynomial algebra and multivariate calculus we manage to reduce the…
We introduce classes of graphs with bounded expansion as a generalization of both proper minor closed classes and degree bounded classes. Such classes are based on a new invariant, the greatest reduced average density (grad) of G with rank…
Several tools have been developed to enhance automation of theorem proving in the 2D plane. However, in 3D, only a few approaches have been studied, and to our knowledge, nothing has been done in higher dimensions. In this paper, we present…
We present general reduction procedures for Courant, Dirac and generalized complex structures, in particular when a group of symmetries is acting. We do so by taking the graded symplectic viewpoint on Courant algebroids and carrying out…
In a previous paper, we provided some update in the treatment of the finiteness theorem for rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type. In the present paper we present another improvement, introducing…
In order to study gravitational waves in any realistic astrophysical scenario, one must consider geometry perturbations up to second order. Here, we present a general technique for studying linear and quadratic perturbations on a spacetime…
Motivated by the problem of longitudinal data assimilation, e.g., in the registration of a sequence of images, we develop the higher-order framework for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetry in geometric mechanics. In particular,…
We explain how to translate several recent results in derived algebraic geometry to derived differential geometry. These concern shifted Poisson structures on NQ-manifolds, Lie groupoids, smooth stacks and derived generalisations, and…
We study the minimization of smooth, possibly nonconvex functions over the positive orthant, a key setting in Poisson inverse problems, using the exponentiated gradient (EG) method. Interpreting EG as Riemannian gradient descent (RGD) with…
We refine Osserman's argument on the exceptional values of the Gauss map of algebraic minimal surfaces. This gives an effective estimate for the number of exceptional values and the totally ramified value number for a wider class of…
We recall the question of geometric integrators in the context of Poisson geometry, and explain their construction. These Poisson integrators are tested in some mechanical examples. Their properties are illustrated numerically and they are…
