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…
This text presents some basic notions in symplectic geometry, Poisson geometry, Hamiltonian systems, Lie algebras and Lie groups actions on symplectic or Poisson manifolds, momentum maps and their use for the reduction of Hamiltonian…
This is the second paper of a series dedicated to the study of Poisson structures of compact types (PMCTs). In this paper, we focus on regular PMCTs, exhibiting a rich transverse geometry. We show that their leaf spaces are integral affine…
We study the moduli of G-local systems on smooth but not necessarily proper complex algebraic varieties. We show that, when suitably considered as derived algebraic stacks, they carry natural Poisson structures, generalizing the well known…
We define convexity canonically in the setting of monoids. We show that many classical results from convex analysis hold for functions defined on such groups and semigroups, rather than only on vector spaces. Some examples and…
Riemann Poisson manifolds were introduced by the author in [1] and studied in more details in [2]. K\"ahler-Riemann foliations form an interesting subset of the Riemannian foliations with remarkable properties (see [3]). In this paper we…
In this paper, we study a certain cohomology attached to a smooth function, which arose naturally in Poisson geometry. We explain how this cohomology depends on the function, and we prove that it satisfies both the excision and the…
In this work, I investigate the noncommutative Poisson algebra of classical observables corresponding to a proposed general Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics, \cite{1}. I treat some classical systems with various potentials and some Physical…
We use geometric methods to study two natural two-component generalizations of the periodic Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations. We show that these generalizations can be regarded as geodesic equations on the semidirect product of…
Certain classical statistical systems with strong local constraints are known to exhibit Coulomb phases, where long-range correlation functions have power-law forms. Continuous transitions from these into ordered phases cannot be described…
A Bernstein-von Mises theorem is derived for general semiparametric functionals. The result is applied to a variety of semiparametric problems in i.i.d. and non-i.i.d. situations. In particular, new tools are developed to handle…
The main goal of this paper is to present results of existence and non-existence of convex functions on Riemannian manifolds and, in the case of the existence, we associate such functions to the geometry of the manifold. Precisely, we prove…
In [1], Connes presented axioms governing noncommutative geometry. He went on to claim that when specialised to the commutative case, these axioms recover spin or spin^c geometry depending on whether the geometry is ''real'' or not. We…
Equivalent conditions that make the normal cone maximal monotone are investigated in the general settings of locally convex spaces. Some consequences such as Bishop Phelps and sum representability results are presented in the last part.
We consider the Poisson sigma model associated to a Poisson manifold. The perturbative quantization of this model yields the Kontsevich star product formula. We study here the classical model in the Hamiltonian formalism. The phase space is…
In our previous paper on this topic, we introduced the notion of k-Hessian measure associated with a continuous k-convex function in a domain \Om in Euclidean n-space, k=1,...,n, and proved a weak continuity result with respect to local…
In this paper, we discuss the modulus of continuity of solutions to Poisson's equation, and give bounds of length and area distortion for some classes of $K$-quasiconformal mappings satisfying Poisson's equations. The obtained results are…
Using methods of formal geometry, the Poisson sigma model on a closed surface is studied in perturbation theory. The effective action, as a function on vacua, is shown to have no quantum corrections if the surface is a torus or if the…
Noncommutative quantum mechanics can be considered as a first step in the construction of quantum field theory on noncommutative spaces of generic form, when the commutator between coordinates is a function of these coordinates. In this…
The Lie and module (Rinehart) algebraic structure of vector fields of compact support over C infinity functions on a (connected) manifold M define a unique universal non-commutative Poisson * algebra. For a compact manifold, a…
