In this expository note, we give a self-contained introduction to some modern incarnations of Hamiltonian reduction. Particular emphasis is placed on applications to symplectic geometry and geometric representation theory. We thereby…
These notes accompany a lecture about the topology of symplectic (and other) quotients. The aim is two-fold: first to advertise the ease of computation in the symplectic category; and second to give an account of some new computations for…
For a complex projective manifold Gromov-Witten invariants can be constructed either algebraically or symplectically. Using the versions of Gromov-Witten theory by Behrend and Fantechi on the algebraic side and by the author on the…
The study of recently introduced Fedosov supermanifolds is continued. Using normal coordinates, properties of even and odd symplectic supermanifolds endowed with a symmetric connection respecting given sympletic structure are studied.
In Riemannian computing applications, it is crucial to map manifold data to a Euclidean domain, where vector space arithmetic is available, and back. Classical manifold theory guarantees the existence of such mappings, called charts and…
We reveal the symplectic nature of parameter-drift maps by embedding them into extended phase space. Applying the embedding to the parameter-drift standard nontwist map, our construction yields an autonomous symplectic map in extended phase…
The Fedosov deformation quantization on a cotangent bundle with a symplectic connection induced by some linear symmetric connection on the base space is considered. A global construction of the symplectic homogeneous connection on the…
This is a light survey article about the origins of contact and symplectic topology in dynamics and the more recent developments in the field. In lieu of formulas, numerous anecdotes are given.
Topological statistical theory provides the foundation for a modern mathematical reformulation of classical statistical theory: Structural Statistics emphasizes the structural assumptions that accompany distribution families and the set of…
Jacobi structures are known to generalize Poisson structures, encompassing symplectic, cosymplectic, and Lie-Poisson manifolds. Notably, other intriguing geometric structures -- such as contact and locally conformal symplectic manifolds --…
We define 2-calibrated structures, which are analogs of symplectic structures in odd dimensions. We show the existence of differential topological constructions compatible with the structure.
We give new lower bounds for the (higher) topological complexity of a space, in terms of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a certain auxiliary space. We also give new lower bounds for the rational topological complexity of a space, and…
In this paper we give a generalization of the normal holomorphic frames in the symplectic manifolds and find conditions for the integrability of complex structures.
A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting a hypersymplectic structure, and we provide a method to construct such hypersymplectic Lie algebras. We use this method in order to obtain the classification of all hypersymplectic structures…
We develop local elliptic regularity for operators having coefficients in a range of Sobolev-type function spaces (Bessel potential, Sobolev-Slobodeckij, Triebel-Lizorkin, Besov) where the coefficients have a regularity structure typical of…
New classes of Lie-Hamilton systems are obtained from the six-dimensional fundamental representation of the symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(6,\mathbb{R})$. The ansatz is based on a recently proposed procedure for constructing…
Homotopy comomentum maps are a higher generalization of the notion of moment map introduced to extend the concept of Hamiltonian actions to the framework of multisymplectic geometry. Loosely speaking, higher means passing from considering…
A (biased and incomplete) review of the status of the theory of symplectic connections on supermanifolds is presented. Also, some comments regarding Fedosov's technique of quantization are made.
In this article, we develop the theory of weighted $L^2$ Sobolev spaces on unbounded domains in $\mathbb R^n$. As an application, we establish the elliptic theory for elliptic operators and prove trace and extension results analogous to the…
In this paper we define a new category of almost complex riemannian 4- manifolds and discuss some basic properties of such pseudo symplectic manifolds. Some motivation based on the Seiberg - Witten theory is imposed.
