For a derived stack obtained as a quotient of a derived affine scheme by a reductive group, we show that shifted symplectic structures can be characterized by the Cartan-de Rham complex. For non-reductive groups, we also show the analogous…
We discuss a natural extension of the AKSZ construction to the case where the source is given by a supermanifold with a chosen integral form. We then focus on the special case with the target given by a Courant algebroid. In the simplest…
On a compact complex manifold $(M, J)$ endowed with a holomorphic Poisson tensor $\pi_J$ and a deRham class $\alpha\in H^2(M, \mathbb R)$, we study the space of generalized K\"ahler (GK) structures defined by a symplectic form $F\in \alpha$…
We generalize the classical Fisher information metric on statistical models to $L^p$-metrics on various spaces of differential forms or group of diffeomorphisms. Using this new interpretation from information geometry, we derive several new…
We introduce a generalization of symmetric functions and apply the resulting theory to compute the class in the Grothendieck ring of varieties of the space of geometrically irreducible hypersurfaces of a fixed degree in projective space.
The article introduces Ahlfors' generalization of the Schwarz lemma. With this powerful geometric tool of complex functions in one variable, we are able to prove some theorems concerning the size of images under holomorphic mappings,…
This is an invited contribution to the 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, that provides a very short survey of derived symplectic geometry. Derived symplectic geometry studies symplectic structures on derived stacks.…
We prove the AKSZ theorem for shifted Poisson structures: if $X$ is an $n$-shifted Poisson derived stack, and $Y$ a $d$-oriented derived stack, then the mapping stack \[\underline{\mathrm{Map}}(Y,X)\] is naturally endowed with an…
Given a $2k$-dimensional symplectic space $(Z,F)$ in $N$ variables, $1 < 2k \leq N$, over a global field $K$, we prove the existence of a symplectic basis for $(Z,F)$ of bounded height. This can be viewed as a version of Siegel's lemma for…
It is proved that the associative differential graded algebra of (polynomial) polyvector fields on a vector space (may be infinite- dimensional) is quasi-isomorphic to the corresponding cohomological Hochschild complex of (polynomial)…
We study the Poisson geometry of the first congruence subgroup $G_1[[z^{-1}]]$ of the loop group $G[[z^{-1}]]$ endowed with the rational r-matrix Poisson structure for $G=GL_m$ and $SL_m$. We classify all the symplectic leaves on a certain…
We find a worldsheet realization of generalized complex geometry, a notion introduced recently by Hitchin which interpolates between complex and symplectic manifolds. The two-dimensional model we construct is a supersymmetric relative of…
A Lie 2-algebra is a "categorified" version of a Lie algebra: that is, a category equipped with structures analogous those of a Lie algebra, for which the usual laws hold up to isomorphism. In the classical mechanics of point particles, the…
This paper presents a variational and multisymplectic formulation of both compressible and incompressible models of continuum mechanics on general Riemannian manifolds. A general formalism is developed for non-relativistic first-order…
Extension of symplectic geometry on manifolds to the supersymmetric case is considered. In the even case it leads to the even symplectic geometry (or, equivalently, to the geometry on supermanifolds endowed with a non-degenerate Poisson…
This review paper is concerned with the generalizations to field theory of the tangent and cotangent structures and bundles that play fundamental roles in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics. The paper…
A class of two dimensional field theories, based on (generically degenerate) Poisson structures and generalizing gravity-Yang-Mills systems, is presented. Locally, the solutions of the classical equations of motion are given. A general…
In this thesis we study geometric structures from Poisson and generalized complex geometry with mild singular behavior using Lie algebroids. The process of lifting such structures to their Lie algebroid version makes them less singular, as…
As a step towards quantization of Higher Spin Gravities we construct the presymplectic AKSZ sigma-model for $4d$ Higher Spin Gravity which is AdS/CFT dual of Chern-Simons vector models. It is shown that the presymplectic structure leads to…
The topics covered in this thesis may be divided into three parts. Firstly, we perform a study on the most general branes which are consistent with the Poisson sigma model, both at the classical and quantum levels. The second part is…
