We study the dynamics of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on convex symplectic manifolds. To this end we first establish the Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz isomorphism between the Floer homology and the Morse homology of such a manifold, and then use…
This text presents some basic notions in symplectic geometry, Poisson geometry, Hamiltonian systems, Lie algebras and Lie groups actions on symplectic or Poisson manifolds, momentum maps and their use for the reduction of Hamiltonian…
An Hermitian bounded symmetric domain in a complex vector space, given in its circled realization, is endowed with two natural symplectic forms: the flat form and the hyperbolic form. In a similar way, the ambient vector space is also…
This is a long summary of the author's book "D-manifolds and d-orbifolds: a theory of derived differential geometry", available at http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~joyce/dmanifolds.html . A shorter survey paper on the book, focussing on…
Simplicial presheaves on cartesian spaces provide a general notion of smooth spaces. There is a corresponding smooth version of the singular complex functor, which maps smooth spaces to simplicial sets. We consider the localisation of the…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
In these lectures, we discuss two approaches to studying orbit spaces of algebraic Lie groups. Due to algebraic approach orbit space, or quotient, is an algebraic manifold, while from the differential viewpoint a quotient is a differential…
A rather simple natural outer derivation of the graded Lie algebra of all vector valued differential forms with the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket turns out to be a differential and gives rise to a cohomology of the manifold, which is…
We introduce an alternative formalization of curved spaces in which the concept of a pointwise affine space, as defined here, replaces that of a manifold. New or modified definitions of familiar notions from differential geometry such as…
We extend the theory of diffeomorphism-invariant spin network states from the real-analytic category to the smooth category. Suppose that G is a compact connected semisimple Lie group and P -> M is a smooth principal G-bundle. A `cylinder…
The gauge symmetry of classical general relativity under space-time diffeomorphisms implies that any path integral quantization which can be interpreted as a sum over space-time geometries, gives rise to a formal invariant of smooth…
We construct on the category of diffeological spaces a Quillen model structure having smooth weak homotopy equivalences as the class of weak equivalences.
This is a preliminary version of a book on infinite-dimensional Lie groups. It covers the basics of calculus and manifolds in the context of locally convex spaces, based on Bastiani's notion of a smooth map. Starting from this concept, we…
The central object of synthetic differential geometry is microlinear spaces. In our previous paper [Microlinearity in Frolicher spaces -beyond the regnant philosophy of manifolds-, International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 60…
We show that every effective smooth action of a Lie group G on a manifold M is a diffeomorphism from G onto its image in Diff(M), where the image is equipped with the subset diffeology of the functional diffeology.
This is the first paper in a series that studies smooth relative Lie algebra homologies and cohomologies based on the theory of formal manifolds and formal Lie groups. In this paper, we lay the foundations for this study by introducing the…
Lie theory is, beyond any doubt, an absolutely essential part of differential geometry. It is therefore necessary to seek its generalization to $\mathbb{Z}$-graded geometry. In particular, it is vital to construct non-trivial and explicit…
Systems of ordinary differential equations (or dynamical forms in Lagrangian mechanics), induced by embeddings of smooth fibered manifolds over one-dimensional basis, are considered in the class of variational equations. For a given…
Tangent categories are categories equipped with a tangent functor: an endofunctor with certain natural transformations which make it behave like the tangent bundle functor on the category of smooth manifolds. They provide an abstract…
We generalize the classical construction principles of infinite-dimensional real (and complex) Lie groups to the case of Lie groups over non-discrete topological fields. In particular, we discuss linear Lie groups, mapping groups, test…
