We study generalized Kaehler manifolds for which the corresponding complex structures commute and classify completely the compact generalized Kaehler four-manifolds for which the induced complex structures yield opposite orientations.
Quantum field theory allows more general symmetries than groups and Lie algebras. For instance quantum groups, that is Hopf algebras, have been familiar to theoretical physicists for a while now. Nowdays many examples of symmetries of…
Considering $B$-branes over a complex manifold $X$ as objects of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves over $X$, we define holomorphic gauge fields on $B$-branes and introduce the Yang-Mills functional for these fields. These…
In generalized complex geometry, we revisit linear subspaces and submanifolds that have an induced generalized complex structure. We give an expression of the induced structure that allows us to deduce a smoothness criteria, we dualize the…

In this paper, a generalized cusp is a properly convex manifold with strictly convex boundary that is diffeomorphic to $M \times [0, \infty)$ where $M$ is a closed Euclidean manifold. These are classified in [2]. The marked moduli space is…
The quantum completion of the space of connections in a manifold can be seen as the set of all morphisms from the groupoid of the edges of the manifold to the (compact) gauge group. This algebraic construction generalizes the analogous…
The generalized vector is defined on an $n$ dimensional manifold. Interior product, Lie derivative acting on generalized $p$-forms, $-1\le p\le n$ are introduced. Generalized commutator of two generalized vectors are defined. Adding a…
Insprired by the work of C. Simpson, it is shown that every variation of graded-polarized mixed Hodge structure defined over Q gives rise to a natural Higgs field on the underlying vector bundle. In the context of Mirror Symmetry it is then…
We extend the Colombeau algebra of generalized functions to arbitrary (infinitely differentiable, paracompact) n-dimensional manifolds M. Embedding of continuous functions and distributions is achieved with the help of a family of n-forms…
In this note we identify two complex structures (one is given by algebraic geometry, the other by gauge theory) on the set of isomorphism classes of holomorphic bundles with section on a given compact complex manifold. In the case of line…
We define a "circle Euler characteristic" of a circle action on a compact manifold or finite complex X. It lies in the first Hochschild homology group of ZG where G is the fundamental group of X. It is analogous in many ways to the ordinary…
Let $(X^n,\check{X}^n)$ be a mirror pair of an $n$-dimensional complex torus $X^n$ and its mirror partner $\check{X}^n$. Then, by SYZ transform, we can construct a holomorphic line bundle with an integrable connection from each pair of a…
This is a mostly self-contained survey article about bundle gerbes and some of their recent applications in geometry, field theory, and quantisation. We cover the definition of bundle gerbes with connection and their morphisms, and explain…
A complex $b$-structure on a manifold $\M$ with boundary is an involutive subbundle $\bT^{0,1}\M$ of the complexification of $\bT\M$ with the property that $\C\bT\M = \bT^{0,1}\M + \bar{\bT^{0,1}\M}$ as a direct sum; the interior of $\M$ is…
Starting from the data of a nonsingular complex projective toric variety, we define an associated notion of toric co-Higgs bundle. We provide a Lie-theoretic classification of these objects by studying the interaction between Klyachko's fan…
The cohomology algebra of the canonical bundle of a compact K\"ahler manifold is naturally viewed as a module over an exterior algebra. We use the Bernstein-Gel'fand-Gel'fand correspondence, together with Generic Vanishing theory, in order…
If H is a commutative connected graded Hopf algebra over a commutative ring k, then a certain canonical k-algebra homomorphism H -> H (x) QSym is defined, where QSym denotes the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions over k. This…
The moduli spaces for Higgs bundles associated to real Lie groups and a closed Riemann surface have multiple connected components. This survey provides a compendium of results concerning the counting of these components in cases where the…
In the present note we describe geometrically the homology classes in the total space of a surface bundle over a surface in terms of the holonomy map. We treat the cases where the base surface is closed or has one boundary component. We…
