Given a symplectic cohomology class of degree 1, we define the notion of an equivariant Lagrangian submanifold. The Floer cohomology of equivariant Lagrangian submanifolds has a natural endomorphism, which induces a grading by generalized…
We obtain several Euler-Lagrange equations for variational functionals defined on a set of H\"older curves. The cases when the Lagrangian contains multiple scale derivatives, depends on a parameter, or contains higher-order scale…

Hilbert space operators may be mapped onto a space of ordinary functions (operator symbols) equipped with an associative (but noncommutative) star-product. A unified framework for such maps is reviewed. Because of its clear probabilistic…
We consider the following construction of quantization. For a Riemannian manifold $M$ the space of forms on $T^*M$ is made into a space of (full) symbols of operators acting on forms on $M$. This gives rise to the composition of symbols,…
We develop in this paper a new framework for discrete calculus of variations when the actions have densities involving an arbitrary discretization operator. We deduce the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations for piecewise continuous critical…
We use the ordinary Euler operator to compute the Ehrhart series for an arbitrary lattice polytope. The resulting formula involves the coefficients of the Ehrhart polynomial, combined via Eulerian numbers. We use this to compute $h^*_{d-1}$…
This paper provides a description of an algebraic setting for the Lagrangian formalism over graded algebras and is intended as the necessary first step towards the noncommutative C-spectral sequence (variational bicomplex). A noncommutative…
We study geometric first order differential operators on quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds. Their principal symbols are related to the enveloping algebra and Casimir elements for $\Sp(1)\Sp(n)$. This observation leads to anti-symmetry of the…
We directly compute the symbol of the normal operator for the d-plane transform on the Euclidean space. We show that this symbol is the product of the symbol of the power of the Laplacian of order -d/2 and a constant given by an invariant…
Global quantization of pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups is introduced relying on the representation theory of the group rather than on expressions in local coordinates. Operators on the 3-dimensional sphere and on group…
The study concerns a special symbolic calculus of interest for signal analysis. This calculus associates functions on the time-frequency half-plane f>0 with linear operators defined on the positive-frequency signals. Full attention is given…
