We are going to introduce a new algebraic, analytic structure that is a kind of generalization of the Hausdorff dimension and measure. We give many examples and study the basic properties and relations of such systems.
We prove global smooth classification results for TNS totally Anosov Z^k actions on general compact manifolds, under each one of the following conditions: joint integrability, resonance-free or Lyapunov pinching condition. Unlike the…
Recently an action formulation, called the general WZW orbifold action, was given for each sector of every WZW orbifold. In this paper we gauge this action by general twisted gauge groups to find the action formulation of each sector of…
We study the relations between the projective and the almost conformally symplectic structures on a smooth even dimensional manifold. We describe these relations by a single almost conformally symplectic connection with totally trace--free…
Bourgeois proved in [5] that odd-dimensional tori admit a contact structure. We shall prove a more general result: Any odd-dimensional parallelisable closed manifold admits a contact structure. This implies that a solvmanifold $\Gamma…
We study the globalization of partial actions on sets and topological spaces and of partial coactions on algebras by applying the general theory of globalization for geometric partial comodules, as previously developed by the authors. We…
Alesker's theory of generalized valuations unifies smooth measures and constructible functions on real analytic manifolds, extending classical operations on functions and measures. Alesker showed that these operations agree with the…
We introduce a method to study C*-algebras possessing an action of the circle group, from the point of view of its internal structure and its K-theory. Under relatively mild conditions our structure Theorem shows that any C*-algebra, where…
The quantum completion of the space of connections in a manifold can be seen as the set of all morphisms from the groupoid of the edges of the manifold to the (compact) gauge group. This algebraic construction generalizes an analogous…
We study a generalized ergodic problem (E), which is a Hamilton-Jacobi equation of contact type, in the flat $n$-dimensional torus. We first obtain existence of solutions to this problem under quite general assumptions. Various examples are…
We prove that a K-contact Lie group of dimension five or greater is the central extension of a symplectic Lie group by complexifying the Lie algebra and applying a result from complex contact geometry, namely, that, if the adjoint action of…
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…
In this paper, the notion of an almost contact K\"ahlerian structure is introduced. The interior geometry of almost contact K\"ahlerian spaces is investigated. On the zero-curvature distribution of an almost contact metric structure, as on…
The geometry of symmetric spaces, polar actions, isoparametric submanifolds and spherical buildings is governed by spherical Weyl groups and simple Lie groups. A natural generalization of semisimple Lie groups are affine Kac-Moody groups as…
In this paper, we explain how generalized dynamical r-matrices can be obtained by (quasi-)Poisson reduction. New examples of Poisson structures and Poisson groupoid actions naturally appear in this setting. As an application, we use a…
In this note a generalized Gauss-Manin connection is constructed for cohomology of Lie-Rinehart algebras, generalizing the classical Gauss-Manin connection. As an application a Gysin-map between K-groups of flat connections is constructed.…
We obtain a topological and equivariant classification of closed, connected three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces admitting a local isometric circle action. We show, in particular, that such spaces are homeomorphic to connected sums of some…
We use the Boothby-Wang fibration to construct certain simply connected K-contact manifolds and we give sufficient and necessary conditions on when such K-contact manifolds are homeomorphic to the odd dimensional spheres. If the symplectic…
The aim of this work is to investigate the structure of some skew twisted algebras, when the coefficient ring is a localization of the polynomial ring over the field of characteristic zero, and an involution is provided. A parallel…
We introduce the classes of holomorphic $p$-contact manifolds and holomorphic $s$-symplectic manifolds that generalise the classical holomorphic contact and holomorphic symplectic structures. After observing their basic properties and…
