Let $\CV$ be a vector field distribution on manifold $M$. We give an efficient algorithm for the construction of local coordinates on $M$ such that $\CV$ may be locally expressed as some partial prolongation of the contact distribution…

The classical integral localization formula for equivariantly closed forms (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]) is well-known and requires the acting Lie group to be compact. It is restated here as Theorem 2. In this article we extend this result to…

We prove a Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for affine vortices generalizing a result of Jaffe-Taubes for the action of the circle on the affine line. Namely, suppose a compact Lie group K has a Hamiltonian action on a Kaehler manifold X…

Let $M$ be a proper Hamiltonian $K$-space with proper moment map $\mu$. The symplectic quotient $X=\mu^{-1}(0)/K$ is in general a singular stratified space. In this paper we first generalize the Kirwan map to this symplectic setting which…

We present a new solution to the index problem for hypoelliptic operators in the Heisenberg calculus on contact manifolds, by constructing the appropriate topological K-theory cocycle for such operators. Its Chern character gives a…

Given a Hamiltonian system $ (M,\omega, G,\mu) $ where $(M,\omega)$ is a symplectic manifold, $G$ is a compact connected Lie group acting on $(M,\omega)$ with moment map $ \mu:M \rightarrow\mathfrak{g}^{*}$, then one may construct the…

We establish a product formula for Gromov-Witten invariants for closed, connected, relatively semi-positive Hamiltonian fibrations over any symplectic base. Furthermore, we show that the fibration projection induces a locally trivial…

We prove the coarea formula for sufficiently smooth contact mappings of Carnot manifolds. In particular, we investigate level surfaces of these mappings, and compare Riemannian and sub-Riemannian measures on them. Our main tool is the sharp…

All reduced descendent Gromov-Witten invariants of $K3$ and abelian surfaces in primitive curve classes can be calculated by the methods of \cite{BOPY,MPT}. To handle the imprimitive curve classes, a multiple cover formula was conjectured…

Using the notion of equivariant Kirwan map, as defined by Goldin, we prove that -- in the case of Hamiltonian torus actions with isolated fixed points -- Tolman and Weitsman's description of the kernel of the Kirwan map can be deduced…

Let T be a compact torus and (M,\omega) a Hamiltonian T-space. In a previous paper, the authors showed that the T-equivariant K-theory of the manifold M surjects onto the ordinary integral K-theory of the symplectic quotient M \mod T of M…

Q-Gorenstein toric contact manifolds provide an interesting class of examples of contact manifolds with torsion first Chern class. They are completely determined by certain rational convex polytopes, called toric diagrams, and arise both as…

Many authors have studied Ricci solitons and their analogs within the framework of (almost) contact geometry. In this article, we thoroughly study the $(m,\rho)$-quasi-Einstein structure on a contact metric manifold. First, we prove that if…

Using projective spaces as examples of toric manifolds, we examine K-theoretic fixed point localization. On the one hand, we will see how the permutation-equivariant theory of the point target space emerges as a necessary ingredient. On the…

Equivariant cohomology, a captivating fusion of symmetry and abstract mathematics, illuminates the profound role of group actions in shaping geometric structures. At its core lies the Atiyah-Bott Localization Theorem, a mathematical jewel…

Contact Riemannian manifolds, with not necessarily integrable complex structures, are the generalization of pseudohermitian manifolds in CR geometry. The Tanaka-Webster-Tanno connection on such a manifold plays the role of Tanaka-Webster…
