It is a basic introduction to differential graded Lie algebras, Maurer-Cartan equation and associated deformation functors.
In a previous paper [FT1], for any logarithmic symplectic pair (X,D) of a symplectic manifold X and a simple normal crossings symplectic divisor D, we introduced the notion of log pseudo-holomorphic curve and proved a compactness theorem…
The versal deformation space of a smooth rational curve in a smooth complex threefold is explicitly computed under certain hypotheses. Under an additional hypothesis, the versal deformation space is then shown to be the variety of critical…
Biunivalent holomorphic functions form an interesting class in geometric function theory and are connected with special functions and solutions of complex differential equations. The paper reveals a deep connection between biunivalence and…
We introduce a new space of generalized functions of bounded deformation $GBD_{F}$, made of functions u whose one-dimensional slice $u(\gamma) \cdot \dot{\gamma}$ has bounded variation in a generalized sense for all curves $\gamma$ solution…
A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…
This is the continuation of our paper [10]. In this paper which is self contained, we would like to give a different obstruction formula to the FIRST order deformation of the pair of a smooth curve and a smooth hypersurface. This…
We give an elementary and rigorous proof of the Thomae type formula for singular $Z_N$ curves. To derive the Thomae formula we use the traditional variational method which goes back to Riemann, Thomae and Fuchs.
We construct a deformed Morse complex computing the equivariant cohomology of a manifold M endowed with a smooth S^1-action. The deformation of the coboundary operator is given by counting gradient flow lines of a Morse function f that are…
The existence of translated curves for quasiperiodically forced maps is established, under very mild regularity hypotheses, for rotation numbers of constant type. Among the translated curves, the invariant curves are characterized as the…
Severi varieties are the parameter spaces for curves with prescribed homology class and genus on a smooth surface. We describe their limits along degenerations of surfaces, with a view towards the enumeration of curves. This includes a…
We show that on any Riemannian surface for each $0<c<\infty$ there exists an immersed $C^{1,1}$ curve that is smooth and with curvature equal to $\pm c$ away from a point. We give examples showing that, in general, the regularity of the…
We give an alternative approach to the computation of the dimension of the tangent space of the deformation space of curves with automorphisms. A homological version of the local-global principle similar to the one of J.Bertin, A. M\'ezard…
In this article we study the validity of the Whitney $C^1$ extension property for horizontal curves in sub-Riemannian manifolds endowed with 1-jets that satisfy a first-order Taylor expansion compatibility condition. We first consider the…
Deformed generalized gauge groups, whch were created from physical considerations and made it possible to clarify some long-standing problems in physics, such as the problem of motion and the problem of the energy of the gravitational…
A consistent approach to the description of integral coordinate invariant functionals of the metric on manifolds ${\cal M}_{\alpha}$ with conical defects (or singularities) of the topology $C_{\alpha}\times\Sigma$ is developed. According to…
We prove a result which establishes restrictions on the pseudoholomorphic curves which can exist in a stable Hamiltonian manifold in the presence of certain $\mathbb{R}$-invariant foliations of the symplectization by holomorphic…
We continue our study, initiated in our earlier paper, of Riemann surfaces with constant curvature and isolated conic singularities. Using the machinery developed in that earlier paper of extended configuration families of simple divisors,…
In this paper, we present a new Hermite type curve piecewise polynomial of C1 continuity on nonuniform grids. Depending on the location of the knots of the grid (uniform and nonuniform), the curve is quadratic or cubic. The approximation…
We introduce a new approach for computing curvature of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Curvature is here meant as symplectic invariants of Jacobi curves of geodesics, as introduced by Zelenko and Li. We describe how they can be expressed using a…
