We present a reduction procedure for locally conformally symplectic (LCS) manifolds with an action of a Lie group preserving the conformal structure, with respect to any regular value of the momentum mapping. Under certain conditions, this…
All hypersurface homogeneous locally rotationally symmetric spacetimes which admit conformal symmetries are determined and the symmetry vectors are given explicitly. It is shown that these spacetimes must be considered in two sets. One set…
We give a new CR invariant treatment of the bigraded Rumin complex and related cohomology groups via differential forms. A key benefit is the identification of balanced $A_\infty$-structures on the Rumin and bigraded Rumin complexes. We…
We study a class of continuous deformations of branched complex projective structures on closed surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$, which preserve the holonomy representation of the structure and the order of the branch points. In the case of…
In [10] it was shown that there is a mapping class group-equivariant deformation retraction of the Teichm\"uller space of a closed surface onto a CW complex with dimension equal to the virtual cohomological dimension of the mapping class…
We give a new proof of the absence of non-trivial idempotents in the group ring of torsion-free cocompact lattices in SL(n,C). It is based on the following procedure. We lift the class of the trace in the cyclic cohomology of the group ring…
In this second paper of a two-part series, we prove that whenever a contact 3-manifold admits a uniform spinal open book decomposition with planar pages, its (weak, strong and/or exact) symplectic and Stein fillings can be classified up to…
Symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are strictly related to Hermitian metrics having the fundamental form $\partial \bar \partial $-closed, i.e. to strong K\"ahler with torsion (${\rm SKT}$) metrics. It is still…
We establish a quantitative relationship between mixed de Rham classes and the geometric complexity of metric connections with totally skew torsion on product manifolds where both factors are compact oriented surfaces. For any…
We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$ with its application to the perturbative deformed holomorphic symplectic structure in the A-model, and a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundaries in the B-model. We show that equivalent…
This is a short presentation of some classical results on finite dimensional complex Lie algebras (classification of nilpotent Lie algebras, deformations and perturbations, contractions and rigidity). We present some applications to…
We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a compact lamination by $\epsilon$-holomorphic surfaces in the complex projective plane, minimal, and that carries hyperbolic holonomy. We call $\epsilon$-holomorphic a real 2-dimensional…
This article reveals a significant connection in geometry: when the Lee form $\theta$ is normal to an almost Hermitian manifold $N$, it implies that $N$ possesses a nearly K\"ahler structure. Investigating locally conformally Spin(7)…
We prove the existence of normal forms for some local real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces with an isolated line singularity. We also give sufficient conditions for that a Levi-flat hypersurface with a complex line as singularity to be a…
We describe the obstruction to decomposing in degrees $\leq p$ the de Rham complex of a smooth variety over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p$ that lifts over $W_2(k)$, and show that there exist liftable smooth projective varieties…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact convex hypersurface in ${\bf R}^{2n}$ which is P-cyclic symmetric, i.e., $x\in \Sigma$ implies $Px\in\Sigma$ with P being a $2n\times2n$ symplectic orthogonal matrix and $P^k=I_{2n}$, where $n, k\geq2$,…
Let S be a closed oriented surface of genus at least two. Labourie and the author have independently used the theory of hyperbolic affine spheres to find a natural correspondence between convex RP^2 structures on S and pairs (\Sigma,U)…
Jae-Suk Park and the second-named author introduce the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds of a symplectic manifold as the study of Mauer-Cartan moduli problem of an $L_\infty$ algebra attached to the foliation de-Rham complex…
We consider three families of lattices on the oscillator group $G$, which is an almost nilpotent not completely solvable Lie group, giving rise to coverings $G \to M_{k, 0} \to M_{k, \pi} \to M_{k, \pi/2}$ for $k\in \Z$. We show that the…
We consider Picard surfaces, locally symmetric varieties $S_{\Gamma}$ attached to the Lie group SU(2,1), and we construct explicit differential forms on $S_{\Gamma}$ representing Eisenstein classes, i.e. cohomology classes restricting…
