The discovery of topological insulators has reformed modern materials science, promising to be a platform for tabletop relativistic physics, electronic transport without scattering, and stable quantum computation. Topological invariants are…

Given a Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in a symplectic manifold $X$, the homological Lagrangian monodromy group $\mathcal{H}_L$ describes how Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $X$ preserving $L$ setwise act on $H_*(L)$. We begin a systematic study…

We develop algorithms for sampling from a probability distribution on a submanifold embedded in Rn. Applications are given to the evaluation of algorithms in 'Topological Statistics'; to goodness of fit tests in exponential families and to…

Lagrangian multiform theory is a variational framework for integrable systems. In this article we introduce a new formulation which is based on symplectic geometry and which treats position, momentum and time coordinates of a…

We consider solutions of Lagrangian variational problems with linear constraints on the derivative. These solutions are given by curves $\gamma$ in a differentiable manifold $M$ that are everywhere tangent to a smooth distribution $\mathcal…

We study geometry of the phase space for finite-dimensional dynamical systems with degenerate Lagrangians. The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian constraint formalisms are treated as different local-coordinate pictures of the same invariant…

The purpose of this paper is to propose the implementation of some methods from algebraic geometry in the theory of gravitation, and more especially in the variational formalism. It has been assumed that the metric tensor depends on two…

Graph Laplacians as well as related spectral inequalities and (co-)homology provide a foray into discrete analogues of Riemannian manifolds, providing a rich interplay between combinatorics, geometry and theoretical physics. We apply some…

We use a 1-parameter version of gauge theory to investigate the topology of the diffeomorphism group of 4-manifolds. A polynomial invariant, analogous to the Donaldson polynomial, is defined, and is used to show that the diffeomorphism…

In this note we use techniques in the topology of 2-complexes to recast some tools that have arisen in the study of planar tiling questions. With spherical pictures we show that the tile counting group associated to a set $T$ of tiles and a…

We obtain new restrictions on Maslov classes of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}^n$. We also construct families of new examples of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds, which show that the restrictions on Maslov classes are sharp…

This is a supplement for "Pearls in graph theory" -- a textbook written by Nora Hartsfield and Gerhard Ringel. We discuss the following topics: Ramsey theory, Probabilistic method, Deletion-contraction formulas, Matrix theorem,…

We prove a degenerate homological Arnol'd conjecture on Lagrangian intersections beyond the case studied by A. Floer and H. Hofer via a new version of Lagrangian Ljusternik--Schnirelman theory. We introduce the notion of (Lagrangian)…

We propose to study the tropical geometry specifically arising from convergent Hahn series in multiple indeterminates. One application is a new view on stable intersections of tropical hypersurfaces. Another one is perturbations of rank one…

A few formulas and theorems for statistical structures are proved. They deal with various curvatures as well as with metric properties of the cubic form or its covariant derivative. Some of them generalize formulas and theorems known in the…

Lagrangian formalism on graded manifolds is phrased in terms of the Grassmann-graded variational bicomplex, generalizing the familiar variational bicomplex for even Lagrangian systems on fiber bundles.

This is a survey of known algorithms in algebraic topology with a focus on finite simplicial complexes and, in particular, simplicial manifolds. Wherever possible an elementary approach is chosen. This way the text may also serve as a…

This paper studies the self-Floer theory of a monotone Lagrangian submanifold $L$ of a symplectic manifold $X$ in the presence of various kinds of symmetry. First we suppose $L$ is $K$-homogeneous and compute the image of low codimension…

Considering an extension of the principle of covarience to the action along a path in relativistic Lagrangian mechanics, we motivate the use of geometric -- i.e. covariant and parameter invariant -- Lagrangian functions. We then study some…

In this paper, we present a stochastic augmented Lagrangian approach on (possibly infinite-dimensional) Riemannian manifolds to solve stochastic optimization problems with a finite number of deterministic constraints.We investigate the…
