Let M be a manifold, and G a Lie group which satisfies the unique extension property. An (M,G) manifold N is a manifold endowed with an atlas (U_i,f_i) where f_i is a diffeomorphism between U_i and an open set of M such that the coordinates…

Generalised geometry studies structures on a d-dimensional manifold with a metric and 2-form gauge field on which there is a natural action of the group SO(d,d). This is generalised to d-dimensional manifolds with a metric and 3-form gauge…

We present some fundamental facts about a class of generalized K\"ahler structures defined by invariant complex structures on compact Lie groups. The main computational tool is the BH-to-GK spectral sequences that relate the bi-Hermitian…

The existence of universal unfoldings of certain germs of meromorphic connections is established. This is used to prove a general construction theorem for Frobenius manifolds. A particular case is Dubrovin's theorem on semisimple Frobenius…

We propose a general conjecture on decompositions of finite simple groups as products of conjugates of an arbitrary subset. We prove this conjecture for bounded subsets of arbitrary finite simple groups, and for large subsets of groups of…

A notion of an algebroid - a generalization of a Lie algebroid structure is introduced. We show that many objects of the differential calculus on a manifold M associated with the canonical Lie algebroid structure on T^M can be obtained in…

The generalized Mordell-Lang conjecture (GML) is the statement that the irreducible components of the Zariski closure of a subset of a group of finite rank inside a semi-abelian variety are translates of closed algebraic subgroups. M.…

We give a local classification of generalized complex structures. About a point, a generalized complex structure is equivalent to a product of a symplectic manifold with a holomorphic Poisson manifold. We use a Nash-Moser type argument in…

We combine the language of monoids with the language of preorders so as to refine some fundamental aspects of the classical theory of factorization and prove an abstract factorization theorem with a variety of applications. In particular,…

We propose a notion of 1-homotopy for generalized maps. This notion generalizes those of natural transformation and ordinary homotopy for functors. The 1-homotopy type of a Lie groupoid is shown to be invariant under Morita equivalence. As…

In this note, we consider submanifolds of a generalized K\"ahler manifold that are CR-submanifolds for the two associated Hermitian structures. Then, we establish the conditions for the induced, generalized F structure to be a CRFK…

We construct a smooth Lie group structure on the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of a compact analytic manifold with corners. This generalises the known analogous results in the situation where the real analytic manifold has no…

We study generalized complex manifolds from the point of view of symplectic and Poisson geometry. We start by showing that every generalized complex manifold admits a canonical Poisson structure. We use this fact, together with Weinstein's…

A generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebra is defined using smooth maps from a compact real manifold $\mathcal{M}$ to a finite-dimensional Lie group, by means of complete orthonormal bases for a Hermitian inner product on the manifold and a…

We construct invariant complex product (hyperparacomplex, indefinite quaternion) structures on the manifolds underlying the real noncompact simple Lie groups $SL(2m-1,\RR)$, $SU(m,m-1)$ and $SL(2m-1,\CC)^\RR$. We show that on the last two…

In recent work N. Hitchin introduced the concept of "generalised geometry". The key feature of generalised structures is that that they can be acted on by both diffeomorphisms and 2-forms, the so-called $B$-fields. In this lecture, we give…

We propose two definitions of configuration Lie groupoids and in both the cases we prove a Fadell-Neuwirth type fibration theorem for a class of Lie groupoids. We show that this is the best possible extension, in the sense that, for the…

We give several equivalent characterizations of orthogonal subbundles of the generalized tangent bundle defined, up to B-field transform, by almost product and local product structures. We also introduce a pure spinor formalism for…

We give a completely formalized definition of a notion of " general manifold ". It turns out that " gluing data " form an equivalence-partially ordered set (e-pos), which is a special instance of an ordered groupoid. We state and prove…

The main purpose of this paper is to give a generalization of Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. Consider a morphism from a smash product of spectra E,F to another spectrum G. We construct a TQFT for E-oriented manifolds using a representative of an…
