Local connection forms provide a very useful tool for handling connections on principal bundles, because they ignore any complexities of the total space and, essentially, involve only two fundamental features of the structure group, namely…
We discuss various problems regarding the structure of the foliation of some foliated submanifolds S of C^n, in particular Levi flat ones. As a general scheme, we suppose that S is bounded along a coordinate (or a subset of coordinates),…
The aim of this paper is to study the Lipschitz normally embedded property for a set and its medial axis. We consider if and when a non-LNE set implies non-LNE medial axis and converse. We present an example a of Lipschitz normally set that…
Despite remarkable success in describing supergravity reductions and backgrounds, generalized geometry and the closely related exceptional field theory are still lacking a fundamental object of differential geometry, the Riemann tensor. We…
The purpose of this Note is to prove that each of the following conditions is equivalent to that of the foliation ${\cal F}$ is riemannian: 1) the lifted foliation ${\cal F}^{r}$ on the bundle of $r$-transverse jets is riemannian for an…
Traditionally, Hodge structures are associated with complex projective varieties. In my expository lectures I discussed a non-commutative generalization of Hodge structures in deformation quantization and in derived algebraic geometry.
Extended geometry provides a unified framework for double geometry, exceptional geometry, etc., i.e., for the geometrisations of the string theory and M-theory dualities. In this talk, we will explain the structure of gauge transformations…
The classical transversality lemma of contact geometry constructs a contact structure on a hypersurface transverse to a Liouville vector field using point-set topology and local flows. This paper translates the classical transversality…
We define and study jets of flat partial connections with respect to singular foliations. In particular, we use the first sheaf of transverse jets to address the problem of extending a flat partial connection to a (flat) meromorphic…
We consider generalizations of the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone of a simple Lie algebra by replacing the cotangent bundle with certain other vector bundles over the flag variety. We show that the analogue of the Springer sheaf…
The well known $g$-conjecture for homology spheres follows from the stronger conjecture that the face ring over the reals of a homology sphere, modulo a linear system of parameters, admits the strong-Lefschetz property. We prove that the…
These notes are an introduction to symplectic groupoids and the double structures associated with them. The treatment is intended to lie about midway between the original account of Coste, Dazord and Weinstein, which relied on effective use…
This set of lectures aims to give an overview of Donaldson's theory of linear systems on symplectic manifolds and the algebraic and geometric invariants to which they give rise. After collecting some of the relevant background, we discuss…
In this work we study analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex algebraic surfaces. First, we show that if this foliation admits chaotic dynamics (i.e. if it does not admit a transverse invariant measure), then the connected components of…
Convergence is a fundamental topic in analysis that is most commonly modelled using topology. However, there are many natural convergences that are not given by any topology; e.g., convergence almost everywhere of a sequence of measurable…
We define and study jets of flat partial connections in the setting of smooth foliations and flat partial connections on locally free sheaves. In the case of codimension one foliations, we apply this definition to characterize transversely…
We consider Courant and Courant-Jacobi brackets on the stable tangent bundle $TM\times\mathds{R}^h$ of a differentiable manifold and corresponding Dirac, Dirac-Jacobi and generalized complex structures. We prove that Dirac and Dirac-Jacobi…
In this contribution we review some of the interplay between sigma models in theoretical physics and novel geometrical structures such as Lie (n-)algebroids. The first part of the article contains the mathematical background, the definition…
The Hard Lefschetz theorem is known to hold for the intersection cohomology of the toric variety associated to a rational convex polytope. One can construct the intersection cohomology combinatorially from the polytope, hence it is well…
We study holomorphic supercurves, which are motivated by supergeometry as a natural generalisation of holomorphic curves. We prove that, upon perturbing the defining equations by making them depend on a connection, the corresponding…
