On a symplectic manifold, there is a natural elliptic complex replacing the de Rham complex. It can be coupled to a vector bundle with connection and, when the curvature of this connection is constrained to be a multiple of the symplectic…
Some examples and basic properties of ultrametric spaces are briefly discussed.
We study McDuff-Salamon's Problem 46 by showing that there exist closed manifolds of dimension $\geq 6$ admitting cohomologous symplectic forms with different Gromov widths. The examples are motivated by Ruan's early example of deformation…
Symplectic spinors form an infinite-rank vector bundle. Dirac operators on this bundle were constructed recently by K.~Habermann. Here we study the spectral geometry aspects of these operators. In particular, we define the associated…
After reviewing recent results on symplectic Lefschetz pencils and symplectic branched covers of CP^2, we describe a new construction of maps from symplectic manifolds of any dimension to CP^2 and the associated monodromy invariants. We…
Every metric symplectic Lie algebra has the structure of a quadratic extension. We give a standard model and describe the equivalence classes on the level of corresponding quadratic cohomology sets. Finally, we give a scheme to classify the…
Most of the literature of computational geometry concerns geometric properties of sets of static points. M.J. Atallah introduced dynamic computational geometry, concerned with both momentary and long-term geometric properties of sets of…
We define the concept of symplectic foliation on a symplectic manifold and provide a method of constructing many examples, by using asymptotically holomorphic techniques.
In this article we introduce a new method for constructing implicit symplectic maps using special symplectic manifolds and Liouvillian forms. This method extends, in a natural way, the method of generating functions to 1-forms which are…
In this note, we extend to the singular case some results on the birational geometry of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds.
We introduce an analogue of the inflation technique of Lalonde-McDuff, allowing us to obtain new symplectic forms from symplectic surfaces of negative self-intersection in symplectic four-manifolds. We consider the implications of this…
We provide, through the framework of extended geometry, a geometrisation of the duality symmetries appearing in magical supergravities. A new ingredient is the general formulation of extended geometry with structure group of non-split real…
This paper studies the geometry of Cartan-Hartogs domains from the symplectic point of view. Inspired by duality between compact and noncompact Hermitian symmetric spaces, we construct a dual counterpart of Cartan-Hartogs domains and give…
We extend Stone duality to a fully faithful embedding of condensed sets into fpqc sheaves over an arbitrary field, which preserves colimits and finite limits. We study how familiar notions from condensed mathematics/topology and algebraic…
This paper is a survey about the Thurston metric on the Teichm\"uller space. The central issue is the constructions of extremal Lipschitz maps between hyperbolic surfaces. We review several constructions, including the original work of…
A stabilized polydisc is a product of a symplectic polydisc and several copies of the complex plane. This paper gives a complete characterization of symplectic embeddings of stabilized polydiscs into other stabilized polydiscs.
Some aspects of the geometry of superembeddings and its application to supersymmetric extended objects are discussed. In particular, the embeddings of (3|16) and (6|16) dimensional superspaces into (11|32) dimensional superspace,…
We interpret symplectic geometry as certain sheaf theory by constructing a sheaf of curved A_\infty algebras which in some sense plays the role of a "structure sheaf" for symplectic manifolds. An interesting feature of this "structure…
Two discrete dynamical systems are discussed and analyzed whose trajectories encode significant explicit information about a number of problems in combinatorial probability, including graphical enumeration on Riemann surfaces and random…
We overview the main ideas and techniques of the functional-analytical approach to some extremal problems of convex geometry that stem from the Queen Dido problem.
