On the Grassmann manifold G (m, n) of m-dimensional subspaces of an n-dimensional projective space P^n, a certain supplementary construction called the normalization is considered. By means of this normalization, one can construct the…
Denote by $\mathbb G(k,n)$ the Grassmannian of linear subspaces of dimension $k$ in $\mathbb P^n$. We show that, if $\varphi:\mathbb G(l,n) \to \mathbb G(k,n)$ is a non constant morphism and $l \not=0,n-1$ then $l=k$ or $l=n-k-1$ and…
Very loosely, $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-manifolds are `manifolds' with $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-graded coordinates and their sign rule is determined by the scalar product of their $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-degrees. A little more carefully, such objects can be…
In this paper we consider minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in $n$-dimensional complex space forms. More precisely, we study such submanifolds which, endowed with the induced metrics, write as a Riemannian product of two Riemannian manifolds,…
We introduce the totally nonnegative Lagrangian Grassmannian $\rm{LG}_{\geq 0}^R (n,2n)$, a new subset of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian consisting of subspaces isotropic with respect to a certain bilinear form $R$. We describe its…
If $\Gamma$ is the nullity space of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold $M^n$, it is well known that if its dimension is constant and if $M^n$ is complete then the distribution $\Gamma$ is completely integrable with flat leaves.…
It is shown that the n-dimensional Klein bottle admits a Lagrangian embedding into R^{2n} if and only if n is odd.
A submanifold of a Riemannian symmetric space is called parallel if its second fundamental form is a parallel section of the appropriate tensor bundle. We classify parallel submanifolds of the Grassmannian $\rmG^+_2(\R^{n+2})$ which…
The set of partial isometries in a W*-algebra possesses a structure of Banach Lie groupoid. In this paper the differential structure on the set of partial isometries over the restricted Grassmannian is constructed, which makes it into a…
This paper highlights the similarities between even-dimensional geometry (symplectic) and odd-dimensional geometry (cosymplectic). We study the Lagrangian Grassmannian in the cosymplectic setting. The space of compatible co-complex…
Embedded Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds are produced from isotopy, spinning, and handle attachment constructions that employ the technique of generating families. Moreover, any Legendrian with a generating family has…
Consider the complex linear space C^n endowed with the canonical pseudo-Hermitian form of signature (2p,2(n-p)). This yields both a pseudo-Riemannian and a symplectic structure on C^n. We prove that those submanifolds which are both…
We establish the uniqueness up to Hamiltonian isotopy of the Lagrangian spheres in some four dimensional Stein manifolds.
We prove that if a compact nilmanifold $\Gamma\backslash G$ is endowed with a Vaisman structure, then $G$ is isomorphic to the Cartesian product of the Heisenberg group with $\mathbb{R}$.
This paper explores the structure of bi-Lagrangian Grassmanians for pencils of $2$-forms on real or complex vector spaces. We reduce the analysis to the pencils whose Jordan-Kronecker Canonical Form consists of Jordan blocks with the same…
A Lagrangian field on a symplectic manifold $M$ is a family $\Lambda=\{\Lambda_x|x \in M\}$ of pointed Lagrangian submanifolds of $M$. This notion is a generalization of a real Lagrangian polarization for which each $\Lambda_x$ is the leaf…
The Grassmann-odd Nambu-like brackets corresponding to an arbitrary Lie superalgebra and realized on the supermanifolds are proposed.
We discover a fundamental exterior differential system of Riemannian geometry; indeed, an intrinsic and invariant global system of differential forms of degree $n$ associated to any given oriented Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n+1$.…
It is shown that the N-Galilean conformal algebra, with N-odd, is the maximal symmetry algebra of the free Lagrangian involving (N+1)/2-th order time derivative.
In the second of a pair of papers, we complete the construction of Seiberg-Witten-like invariants for smooth four-manifolds equipped with broken fibrations, prove an index formula, and compute some examples.
