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 a technique to realise brane wrapping and double dimensional reduction in the context of AKSZ topological sigma models and also in their target spaces, which are symplectic $L_n$-algebroids (i.e. QP-manifolds). Our procedure…
In the first part of this note, we review and compare various instances of the notion of twisted coefficient system, a.k.a. polynomial functor, appearing in the literature. This notion hinges on how one defines the degree of a functor from…
We reexamine the notions of generalized Ricci tensor and scalar curvature on a general Courant algebroid, reformulate them using objects natural w.r.t. pull-backs and reductions, and obtain them from the variation of a natural action…
A torti-rational knot, denoted by K(2a,b|r), is a knot obtained from the 2-bridge link B(2a,b) by applying Dehn twists an arbitrary number of times, r, along one component of B(2a,b). We determine the genus of K(2a,b|r) and solve a question…
We introduce the concept of pseudotwistor (with particular cases called twistor and braided twistor) for an algebra $(A, \mu, u)$ in a monoidal category, as a morphism $T:A\otimes A\to A\otimes A$ satisfying a list of axioms ensuring that…
We establish a link between the multisymplectic and the covariant phase space approach to geometric field theory by showing how to derive the symplectic form on the latter, as introduced by Crnkovic-Witten and Zuckerman, from the…
This paper is a continuation of our investigation into the Coulomb branches of twisted $A_{2n}$ of class-S. In arXiv:2411.17675, we found predictions for the contributions of twisted punctures to the graded dimensions of the Coulomb branch,…
A knot diagram has an associated looped interlacement graph, obtained from the intersection graph of the Gauss diagram by attaching loops to the vertices that correspond to negative crossings. This construction suggests an extension of the…
Using only the combinatorics of its defining ribbon graph, we classify the two-term tilting complexes, as well as their indecomposable summands, of a Brauer graph algebra. As an application, we determine precisely the class of Brauer graph…
In this paper, we develop a differential-graded symplectic (Batalin-Vilkovisky) version of the framework of Crawley-Boevey, Etingof and Ginzburg on noncommutative differential geometry based on double derivations to construct…
We detail the construction of a weak Poisson bracket over a submanifold of a smooth manifold M with respect to a local foliation of this submanifold. Such a bracket satisfies a weak type Jacobi identity but may be viewed as a usual Poisson…
We consider the Alexander polynomial of a plane algebraic curve twisted by a linear representation. We show that it divides the product of the polynomials of the singularity links, for unitary representations. Moreover, their quotient is…
We outline the notions and concepts of the calculus of variational multivectors within the Poisson formalism over the spaces of infinite jets of mappings from commutative (non)graded smooth manifolds to the factors of noncommutative…
We introduce (quantum) twist automorphisms for upper cluster algebras and cluster Poisson algebras with coefficients. Our constructions generalize the twist automorphisms for quantum unipotent cells. We study their existence and their…
We observe that numerous symplectic resolutions can be expressed as intersections of twisted cotangent bundles. Additionally, their dual symplectic resolutions can be derived from intersections of dual twisted cotangent bundles. We…
We study twisted Jacobi manifolds, a concept that we had introduced in a previous Note. Twisted Jacobi manifolds can be characterized using twisted Dirac-Jacobi, which are sub-bundles of Courant-Jacobi algebroids. We show that each twisted…
We develop a curved Koszul duality theory for algebras presented by quadratic-linear-constant relations over unital versions of binary quadratic operads. As an application, we study Poisson $n$-algebras given by polynomial functions on a…
We construct an algebra and a complex of multidifferential operators on tensor products of a Courant algebroid E with values in the endomorphism bundle of a smooth vector bundle B, predual of E, extending the standard complex of the…
We introduce a class of links whose bracket polynomials admit an expansion over perfect matchings of a plane bipartite graph. This class includes 2-bridge links, pretzel links, and Montesinos links. Our first main result (Theorem A)…
