We introduce a tangential theory for linked smooth manifolds of depth $1$, i.e., for spans $\mathfrak{S}=(M\overset{\pi}{\twoheadleftarrow} L\overset{\iota}{\hookrightarrow}N)$ of smooth manifolds where $\pi$ is a fibre bundle and $\iota$…

Let ($M$, $\Omega$) be a smooth symplectic manifold and $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a symplectic diffeomorphism of class $C^l$ ($l\geq 3$). Let $N$ be a compact submanifold of $M$ which is boundaryless and normally hyperbolic for $f$. We suppose…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and $V$ a finite-dimensional representation of $G$. Costello-Gaiotto studied a graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{d}_{\mathfrak{g}, V}$ and the associated affine Kac-Moody…

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…

We exhibit many examples of closed symplectic manifolds on which there is an autonomous Hamiltonian whose associated flow has no nonconstant periodic orbits (the only previous explicit example in the literature was the torus T^2n (n\geq 2)…

In this paper we consider symplectic and Hamiltonian structures of systems generated by actions of sigma-model type and show that these systems are naturally connected with specific symplectic geometry on loop spaces of Riemannian and…

A polysymplectic structure is a vector-valued symplectic form, that is, a closed nondegenerate 2-form with values in a vector space. We first outline the polysymplectic Hamiltonian formalism with coefficients in a vector space $V$, then…

We lay down an elementary yet fundamental lemma concerning a finite algebraicness property of a smooth map from an Azumaya/matrix manifold with a fundamental module to a smooth manifold. This gives us a starting point to build a synthetic…

This is a lecture note from a seminar course given at Tel Aviv University in Spring 2018. Part of the preliminary section is built from Kazhdan's seminar organized in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Fall 2017. The main topic of this…

Product Lagrangian tori in standard symplectic space $R^{2n}$ were classified up to symplectomorphism in [Che96]. We extend this classification to tame symplectically aspherical symplectic manifolds. We show by examples that the asphericity…

We study a notion of strict pseudoconvexity in the context of topologically (often unsmoothably) embedded 3-manifolds in complex surfaces. Topologically pseudoconvex (TPC) 3-manifolds behave similarly to their smooth analogues, cutting out…

We introduce the definition of De Rham logarithmic classes. We show that the De Rham class of an algebraic cycle of a smooth algebraic variety over a field of characteristic zero is logarithmic and conversely that a logarithmic class of…

Let g be a semi-simple Lie algebra. In this paper we study the spaces of based quasi-maps from the projective line P^1 to the flag variety of g (it is well-known that their singularities are supposed to model the singularities of the so…

We introduce an elliptic avatar of loop spaces in derived algebraic geometry, completing the familiar trichotomoy of rational, trigonometric and elliptic objects. Heuristically, the elliptic loop space of $\mathcal{Y}$ is the stack of maps…

In this paper we present another notion of a smooth manifold with corners and relate it to the commonly used concept in the literature. Afterwards we introduce complex manifolds with corners and show that if $M$ is a compact (respectively…

Following Contou-Carrere [CC], we consider the Bott-Samelson resolution of a Schubert variety as a variety of galleries in the Tits building associated to the situation. We prove that the rational smoothness of a Schubert variety can be…

We study the local differential geometry of varieties $X^n\subset \Bbb C\Bbb P^{n+a}$ with degenerate secant and tangential varieties. We show that the second fundamental form of a smooth variety with degenerate tangential variety is…

Let M be a smooth strictly convex closed surface in space and denote by H the set of points x in the exterior of M such that all the tangent segments from x to M have equal lengths. In this note we prove that if H is either a closed surface…

Chiral differential operators (CDOs) are closely related to string geometry and the quantum theory of two-dimensional sigma models. This paper investigates two topics about CDOs on smooth manifolds. In the first half, we study how a Lie…

We consider the space $\mathcal{M}$ of Euclidean similarity classes of framed loops in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Framed loop space is shown to be an infinite-dimensional K\"{a}hler manifold by identifying it with a complex Grassmannian. We show that…
