We define the gauge potentials of Poisson electrodynamics as sections of a symplectic realization of the spacetime manifold and infinitesimal gauge transformations as a representation of the associated Lie algebroid acting on the symplectic…
We present a construction (and classification) of certain invariant 2-forms on the real symplectic group. They are used to define a symplectic form on the quotient by a maximal torus and to "lift" a symplectic structure from a symplectic…
We uncover the lowest order differential invariants of Lagrangian submanifolds under affine symplectic maps, and find out what happens when they are constant.
We construct smooth symplectic resolutions of the quotient of R^2 under some infinite discrete sub-group of GL_2(R) preserving a log-symplectic structure. This extends from algebraic geometry to smooth real differential geometry the Du Val…
We study the local symplectic algebra of curves. We use the method of algebraic restrictions to classify symplectic $T_7$ singularities. We define discrete symplectic invariants - the Lagrangian tangency orders. We use these invariants to…
We study higher-order analogues of Dirac structures, extending the multisymplectic structures that arise in field theory. We define higher Dirac structures as involutive subbundles of $TM+\wedge^k TM^*$ satisfying a weak version of the…
Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
It is a remarkable fact that the integrability of a Poisson manifold to a symplectic groupoid depends only on the integrability of its cotangent Lie algebroid $A$: The source-simply connected Lie groupoid $G\rightrightarrows M$ integrating…
We characterize the Dirac structures that are parallel with respect to Gualtieri's canonical connection of a generalized Riemannian metric. On the other hand, we discuss Dirac structures that are images of generalized tangent structures.…
The purpose of this paper is to describe geometrically discrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics on Lie groupoids. From a variational principle we derive the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations and we introduce a symplectic 2-section,…
We present a graded-geometric approach to modular classes of Lie algebroids and their generalizations, introducing in this setting an idea of relative modular class of a Dirac structure for a certain type of Courant algebroids, called…
Symmetry is at the heart of much of mathematics, physics, and art. Traditional geometric symmetry groups are defined in terms of isometries of the ambient space of a shape or pattern. If we slightly generalize this notion to allow the…
We apply the bar construction to the nerve of a double Lie groupoid to obtain a local Lie 2-groupoid. As an application, we recover Haefliger's fundamental groupoid from the fundamental double groupoid of a Lie groupoid. In the case of a…
Contact Geometry is an odd dimensional analogue of Symplectic Geometry. This vague idea can actually be formalized in a rather precise way by means of a Symplectic-to-Contact Dictionary. The aim of this review paper is discussing the basic…
The second class constraints algebra of the abelian Chern-Simons theory is rigorously studied in terms of the Hamiltonian embedding in order to obtain the first class constraint system. The symplectic structure of fields due to the second…
Generalized geometry finds many applications in the mathematical description of some aspects of string theory. In a nutshell, it explores various structures on a generalized tangent bundle associated to a given manifold. In particular,…
We consider two categories related to symplectic manifolds: 1. Objects are symplectic manifolds and morphisms are symplectic embeddings. 2. Objects are symplectic manifolds endowed with compatible almost complex structure and morphisms are…
The paper deals with $\Sigma-$composition and $\Sigma$-essential composition of terms, which lead to stable and s-stable varieties of algebras. A full description of all stable varieties of semigroups, commutative and idempotent groupoids…
Lagrangian curves in 4-space entertain intriguing relationships with second order deformation of plane curves under the special affine group and null curves in a 3-dimensional Lorentzian space form. We provide a natural affine symplectic…
We show that split Courant algebroids, i.e., those defined on a Whitney sum $A \oplus A^*$, are in a one-to-one correspondence with multiplicative curved $L_\infty$-algebras. This one-to-one correspondence extends to Nijenhuis morphisms and…
