The Grassmannian $V_2(\mathbb{R}^{n+2})$ of oriented 2-planes in $\mathbb R^{n+2}$ where $n\ge3$ carries a homogeneous parabolic contact structure of Grassmannian type. The main result of this article is that on $V_2(\mathbb{R}^{n+2})$…

\noindent Let $M\to N$ (resp.\ $C\to N$) be the fibre bundle of pseudo-Riemannian metrics of a given signature (resp.\ the bundle of linear connections) on an orientable connected manifold $N$. A geometrically defined class of first-order…

MacPherson conjectured that the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(2, \mathbb{R}^n)$ has the same homeomorphism type as the combinatorial Grassmannian $\|\mbox{MacP}(2,n)\|$, while Babson proved that the spaces $\mathrm{Gr}(2,\mathbb{R}^n)$ and…

We construct, for a homogeneous Lagrangian of arbitrary order in two independent variables, a differential 2-form with the property that it is closed precisely when the Lagrangian is null. This is similar to the property of the `fundamental…

Let $i: \mathrm{L} \hookrightarrow \mathrm{X}$ be a compact K\"{a}hler Lagrangian in a holomorphic symplectic variety $\mathrm{X}/\mathbf{C}$. We use deformation quantisation to show that the endomorphism differential graded algebra…

We give a embedding of the Lagrangian Grassmannian LG(n) inside an ordinary Grassmannian that is well-behaved with respect to the Wronski map. As a consequence, we obtain an analogue of the Mukhin-Tarasov-Varchenko theorem for LG(n). The…

We study $GL(2)$-structures on differential manifolds. The structures play a fundamental role in the geometric theory of ordinary differential equations. We prove that any $GL(2)$-structure on an even dimensional manifold give rise to a…

Markushevich and Tikhomirov provided a construction of an irreducible symplectic V-manifold of dimension 4, the relative compactified Prym variety of a family of curves with involution, which is a Lagrangian fibration with polarization of…

We show that the Gromov width of the Grassmannian of complex k-planes in C^n is equal to one when the symplectic form is normalized so that it generates the integral cohomology in degree 2. We deduce the lower bound from more general…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a quasi-biharmonic submanifold in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and classify quasi-biharmonic marginally trapped Lagrangian surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms.

In this paper we define a Grassmann odd analogue of Jacobi structure on a supermanifold. The basic properties are explored. The construction of odd Jacobi manifolds is then used to reexamine the notion of a Jacobi algebroid. It is shown…

We consider Lagrangian-like submanifolds in certain even-dimensional 'symplectic-like' Poisson manifolds. We show, under suitable transversality hypotheses, that the pair consisting of the ambient Poisson manifold and the submanifold has…

We consider antibracket superalgebras realized on the smooth Grassmann-valued functions with compact supports in n-dimensional space and with the grading inverse to Grassmanian parity. The deformations with even and odd deformation…

Let $n > 2$, $\gamma > \frac{n-1}{n-2}$, and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$. We prove that if $M$ and $N$ are two smooth $n$-manifolds that admit a complete Riemannian metric satisfying \[ -\gamma\Delta + \mathrm{Ric} > \lambda, \] then the…

We construct a family of Lagrangian submanifolds in the complex sphere with a SO(n)-invariance property. Among them we find those which are special Lagrangian with respect with the Calabi-Yau structure defined by the Stenzel metric.
