In this work, we study a gap phenomenon in locally conformally flat Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. We construct complete solutions to the Yamabe flow that exhibit instantaneous bounded curvature as they evolve.…
We introduce a class of first order G-structures, each of which has an underlying almost conformally symplectic structure. There is one such structure for each real simple Lie algebra which is not of type $C_n$ and admits a contact grading.…
The authors establish a relation of the theory of varieties with degenerate Gauss maps in projective spaces with the theory of congruences and pseudocongruences of subspaces and show how these two theories can be applied to the construction…
We introduce new pseudo-metrics on spaces of Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ by considering areas associated to projecting Lagrangian cobordisms in $\mathbb{C} \times M$ to the "time-energy plane" $\mathbb{C}$.…
In this work we study a large class of exact Lie bialgebras arising from noncommutative deformations of Poisson-Lie groups endowed with a left invariant Riemannian metric. We call these structures \emph{exact metaflat Lie bialgebras}. We…
In this paper we use Floer theory to study topological restrictions on Lagrangian embeddings in closed symplectic manifolds. One of the phenomena arising from our results is ``homological rigidity'' of Lagrangian submanifolds. Namely, in…
We show that well-chosen Lagrangians for a class of two-dimensional integrable lattice equations obey a closure relation when embedded in a higher dimensional lattice. On the basis of this property we formulate a Lagrangian description for…
We give topological obstructions to the existence of a closed exact Lagrangian submanifold in the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold M which is the total space of a fibration over the circle. For instance we show that the fundamental…
Two Lagrangian functions are used to construct geometric field theories. One of these Lagrangians depends on the curvature of space, while the other depends on curvature and torsion. It is shown that the theory constructed from the first…
Taking the St\"uckelberg Lagrangian associated with the abelian self-dual model of P.K. Townsend et al as a starting point, we embed this mixed first- and second-class system into a pure first-class system by following systematically the…
We explore a number of examples of special Lagrangian fibrations on non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds invariant under torus actions. These include fibrations on crepant resolutions of canonical toric singularities (already found by…
We define an invariant of Legendrian links in the double-point enhanced grid homology of a link, and prove that it obstructs decomposable Lagrangian cobordisms in the symplectization of the standard contact structure on $\mathbb R^3$.
For Lorentzian 2-manifolds $(\Sigma_1,g_1)$ and $(\Sigma_2,g_2)$ we consider the two product para-K\"ahler structures $(G^{\epsilon},J,\Omega^{\epsilon})$ defined on the product four manifold $\Sigma_1\times\Sigma_2$, with $\epsilon=\pm 1$.…
We study the following rigidity problem in symplectic geometry:can one displace a Lagrangian submanifold from a hypersurface? We relate this to the Arnold Chord Conjecture, and introduce a refined question about the existence of relative…
In the paper \cite{renato} Renato Targino shows that bi-Lipschitz type of plane curve is determined by the local ambient topological properties of curves. Here we show that it is not longer true in higher dimensions. However we show that…
We show that twin building lattices are undistorted in their ambient group; equivalently, the orbit map of the lattice to the product of the associated twin buildings is a quasi-isometric embedding. As a consequence, we provide an estimate…
We construct bi-Lipschitz embeddings into Euclidean space for manifolds and orbifolds of bounded diameter and curvature. The distortion and dimension of such embeddings is bounded by diameter, curvature and dimension alone. Our results also…
We study the moduli space of logarithmic connections of rank 2 on the Riemann sphere minus n points with fixed spectral data. There are two natural Lagrangian maps: one towards apparent singularities of the associated fuchsian scalar…
We consider solutions of Lagrangian variational problems with linear constraints on the derivative. These solutions are given by curves $\gamma$ in a differentiable manifold $M$ that are everywhere tangent to a smooth distribution $\mathcal…
Motivated by the possibility of radiation driven instabilities in rotating magnetic stars, we study the stability properties of general linear perturbations of a stationary and axisymmetric, infinitely conducting perfect fluid configuration…
