This thesis studies the symplectic structure of holomorphic coadjoint orbits, and their projections. A holomorphic coadjoint orbit O is an elliptic coadjoint orbit which is endowed with a natural invariant K\"ahlerian structure. These…

General linear sections of codimension 2 of the Grassmannians G(1,4) and G(1,5) appear in the classification of Fano manifolds of high index. Unlike Grassmannians, these manifolds are not homogeneous. Nevertheless, their automorphisms…

Let $M$ be a graph manifold such that each piece of its JSJ decomposition has the $\Bbb H^2 \times \Bbb R$ geometry. Assume that the pieces are glued by isometries. Then, there exists a complete Riemannian metric on $\Bbb R \times M$ which…

Nongraded infinite-dimensional Lie algebras appeared naturally in the theory of Hamiltonian operators, the theory of vertex algebras and their multi-variable analogues. They play important roles in mathematical physics. This survey article…

The purpose of this note is to define tri-moment maps for certain manifolds that carry closed non-degenerate 4-forms and an $Sp(1)^n$-action. Examples include quaternionic vector spaces and flag manifolds. We show how this map can be used…

We describe how the loop group maps corresponding to special submanifolds associated to integrable systems may be thought of as certain Grassmann submanifolds of infinite dimensional homogeneous spaces. In general, the associated families…

The cyclic subgroup graph ${\Gamma(G)}$ of a group $G$ is the simple undirected graph with cyclic subgroups as a vertex set and two distinct vertices $H_1$ and $H_2$ are adjacent if and only if $H_1 \leq H_2$ and there does not exist any…

Ray nil-affine geometries are defined on nilpotent spaces. They occur in every parabolic geometry and in those cases, the nilpotent space is an open dense subset of the corresponding flag manifold. We are interested in closed manifolds…

We review basic notions and methods of noncommutative geometry and their applications to analysis and geometry on foliated manifolds.

Linear Geometry describes geometric properties that depend on the fundamental notion of a line. In this paper we survey basic notions and results of Linear Geomery that depend on the flat hulls: flats, exchange, rank, regularity,…

Given a negatively curved geodesic metric space M, we study the asymptotic penetration behaviour of geodesic lines of M in small neighbourhoods of closed geodesics and of other compact convex subsets of M. We define a spiraling spectrum…

In this paper, we define the non-commuting graph associated to a Lie algebra L and obtain some basic graph properties such as connectivity, diameter, girth, Hamiltonian and Eulerian. Moreover, planarity, outer planarity and isomorphism…

We survey the geometry of Lagrange and Finsler spaces and discuss the issues related to the definition of curvature of nonholonomic manifolds enabled with nonlinear connection structure. It is proved that any commutative Riemannian geometry…

Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…

We describe work on solutions of certain non-divergence type and therefore non-variational elliptic and parabolic systems on manifolds. These systems include Hermitian and affine harmonics which should become useful tools for studying…

A gordian unlink is a finite number of unknots that are not topologically linked, each with prescribed length and thickness, and that cannot be disentangled into the trivial link by an isotopy preserving length and thickness throughout. In…

We classify generic coadjoint orbits for symplectomorphism groups of compact symplectic surfaces with or without boundary. We also classify simple Morse functions on such surfaces up to a symplectomorphism.

A presymplectic structure on odd dimensional manifold is given by a closed 2-form which is nondegenerate, i.e., of maximal rank. We investigate geometry of presymplectic manifolds. Some basic theorems analogous to those in symplectic and…

In the first part of this paper we study geometric formality for generalized flag manifolds, including full flag manifolds of exceptional Lie groups. In the second part we deal with the problem of the classification of invariant almost…
