In this article we apply ideas from homotopy theory to the study of singular foliations. We verify that a technical lemma remains valid for left semi-model categories. When applied to the category of $L_\infty$-algebroids thanks to the work…

We present a direct approach to the construction of Lagrangians for a large class of one-dimensional dynamical systems with a simple dependence (monomial or polynomial) on the velocity. We rederive and generalize some recent results and…

Consider an elliptic self-adjoint pseudodifferential operator $A$ acting on $m$-columns of half-densities on a closed manifold $M$, whose principal symbol is assumed to have simple eigenvalues. We show existence and uniqueness of $m$…

The goal of this memoir is to prove that the bar complex B(A) of an E-infinity algebra A is equipped with the structure of a Hopf E-infinity algebra, functorially in A. We observe in addition that such a structure is homotopically unique…

In this paper we analyze the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Hodge Laplacian for generic metrics on a closed 3-manifold $M$. In particular, we show that the nonzero eigenvalues are simple and the zero set of the eigenforms of degree 1…

For G a Lie group acting on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ preserving a pair of Lagrangians $L_0$, $L_1$, under certain hypotheses not including equivariant transversality we construct a G-equivariant Floer cohomology of $L_0$ and…

In analogy to the topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups, we introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of locally linearly compact vector spaces. We study…

We present a simple way of generating the infinite set of Jacobi tensors, compatible with a given one, via the "gauge transformations" of the functions on Jacobi manifold. We consider also some applications of this result to the…

Within the electroweak theory, it is shown that the form of the total Lagrangian is invariant, under local phase changes of the basis states for leptons and under local changes of the mathematical spaces employed for the description of…

Given a Hodge manifold, it is introduced a self-adjoint operator on the space of endomorphisms of the global holomorphic sections of the polarization line bundle. Such operator is shown to approximate the Laplace operator on functions when…
