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…
In this paper we study associative algebras with a Poisson algebra structure on the center acting by derivations on the rest of the algebra. These structures, which we call Poisson fibred algebras, appear in the study of quantum groups at…
A 2-plectic manifold is a manifold equipped with a closed nondegenerate 3-form, just as a symplectic manifold is equipped with a closed nondegenerate 2-form. In 2-plectic geometry we meet higher analogues of many structures familiar from…
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.…
The goal of this work, motivated by the desire to understand causality in classical and quantum gravity, is an in depth investigation of causality in classical field theories with quasilinear equations of motion, of which General Relativity…
A geometric description of the first Poisson cohomology groups is given in the semilocal context, around (possibly singular) symplectic leaves. This result is based on the splitting theorems for infinitesimal automorphisms of coupling…
A comparison on some facts concerning the geometric quantization of symplectic manifolds is presented here. Criticism, facts and improvements on the sophisticated theory of geometric quantization are presented touching briefly, all the…
This set of lecture notes constitutes the free textbook project I initiated towards the end of Summer 2015, while preparing for the Fall 2015 Analytical Methods in Physics course I taught to upper level undergraduates at the University of…
In this paper we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a stratified space, the notion of a Poisson smooth structure and the notion of a weakly symplectic smooth structure on a stratified symplectic space, refining the concept of a…
The main theme of this workshop (Dagstuhl seminar 04351) is `Spatial Representation: Continuous vs. Discrete'. Spatial representation has two contrasting but interacting aspects (i) representation of spaces' and (ii) representation by…
Quantum geometry on a discrete set means a directed graph with a weight associated to each arrow defining the quantum metric. However, these `lattice spacing' weights do not have to be independent of the direction of the arrow. We use this…
In this diploma thesis we discuss the deformation theory of Lie algebroids and Dirac structures. The first chapter gives a short introduction to Dirac structures on manifolds as introduced by Courant in 1990. We also give some physical…
We introduce the notion of geometric pseudo-quantisation based on geometric quantisation with a weakened curvature condition. We show how such a structure arises naturally from simple deformations of the symplectic structure and pullbacks…
This is a book aimed at graduate students and researchers in symplectic geometry, based on a course I taught in 2019. The primary message is that the base of a Lagrangian torus fibration inherits an integral affine structure, which you can…
The notion of quantum algebras is merged with that of Lie systems in order to establish a new formalism called Poisson-Hopf algebra deformations of Lie systems. The procedure can be naturally applied to Lie systems endowed with a symplectic…
We study a deformation of a $2$-graded Poisson algebra where the functions of the phase space variables are complemented by linear functions of parity odd velocities. The deformation is carried by a $2$-form $B$-field and a bivector $\Pi$,…
The deformation quantization by Kontsevich [arXiv:q-alg/9709040] is a way to construct an associative noncommutative star-product $\star=\times+\hbar \{\ ,\ \}_{P}+\bar{o}(\hbar)$ in the algebra of formal power series in $\hbar$ on a given…
A Poisson coalgebra analogue of a (non-standard) quantum deformation of sl(2) is shown to generate an integrable geodesic dynamics on certain 2D spaces of non-constant curvature. Such a curvature depends on the quantum deformation parameter…
We introduce non-smooth symplectic forms on manifolds and describe corresponding Poisson structures on the algebra of Colombeau generalized functions. This is achieved by establishing an extension of the classical map of smooth functions to…
We define quantum exterior product wedge_h and quantum exterior differential d_h on Poisson manifolds (of which symplectic manifolds are an important class of examples). Quantum de Rham cohomology, which is a deformation quantization of de…
