Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…
In this lecture, we review some of the concepts of generalized geometry, as introduced by Hitchin and developed in the speaker's thesis. We also prove a Hodge decomposition for the twisted cohomology of a compact generalized K\"ahler…
Monge gauge in differential geometry is generalized. The original Monge gauge is based on a surface defined as a height function $h(x,y)$ above a flat reference plane. The total curvature and the Gaussian curvature are found in terms of the…
In this paper we consider the generalised solutions to the Monge-Amp{\`{e}}re type equations with general source terms. We firstly prove the so-called comparison principle and then give some important propositions for the border of…
The classes of Monge-Amp\`ere systems, decomposable and bi-decomposable Monge-Amp\`ere systems, including equations for improper affine spheres and hypersurfaces of constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature are introduced. They are studied by the…
We show the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a generalized Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation on closed almost K\"ahler surfaces, where the equation depends only on the underlying almost K\"ahler structure. As an application, we prove…
We show that in the context of two-dimensional sigma models minimal coupling of an ordinary rigid symmetry Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ leads naturally to the appearance of the "generalized tangent bundle" $\mathbb{T}M \equiv TM \oplus T^*M$…
We establish global H\"older estimates for solutions to inhomogeneous linearized Monge-Amp\`ere equations in two dimensions with the right hand side being the divergence of a bounded vector field. These equations arise in the…
The main purpose of this paper is to describe various phenomena and certain constructions arising in the process of studying derived noncommutative schemes. Derived noncommutative schemes are defined as differential graded categories of a…
The underlying algebra for a noncommutative geometry is taken to be a matrix algebra, and the set of derivatives the adjoint of a subset of traceless matrices. This is sufficient to calculate the dual 1-forms, and show that the space of…
We define a nondegenerate Monge-Amp\`ere structure on a 6-dimensional manifold as a pair $(\Omega,\omega)$, such that $\Omega$ is a symplectic form and $\omega$ is a 3-differential form which satisfies $\omega\wedge\Omega=0$ and which is…
This talk introduces a Cartan-geometric framework for generalised geometries governed by a differential graded Lie algebra. In contrast to ordinary Cartan geometry, the tangent bundle is extended and qu both a global duality group and a…
We develop a new approach to $L^{\infty}$-a priori estimates for degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on complex manifolds. It only relies on compactness and envelopes properties of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions. In a prequel…
Cosymplectic and normal almost contact structures are analogues of symplectic and complex structures that can be defined on 3-manifolds. Their existence imposes strong topological constraints. Generalized geometry offers a natural common…
In this paper, we explore some connections between Kobayashi geometry and the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge--Amp\`ere equation. Among the results we obtain through these connections are: $(i)$~a theorem on the continuous extension…
We study generalized complex cohomologies of generalized complex structures constructed from certain symplectic fibre bundles over complex manifolds. We apply our results in the case of left-invariant generalized complex structures on…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of some very general type of degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations. This type of equations is precisely what is needed in order to construct K\"ahler-Einstein metrics over…
In this paper, we study the ellipticity of the vector bundle versions of the Monge-Amp\`ere, $J$, dHYM and $\sigma_{k}$-equations at a point. These are nonlinear geometric partial differential equations defined on a holomorphic vector…
We are concerned with fully nonlinear elliptic equations on complex manifolds and search for technical tools to overcome difficulties in deriving a priori estimates which arise due to the nontrivial torsion and curvature, as well as the…
We take advantage of the principal bundle geometry of the space of connections to obtain general results on the presymplectic structure of two classes of (pure) gauge theories: invariant theories, and non-invariant theories satisfying two…
