This work reviews the classical Darboux theorem for symplectic, presymplectic, and cosymplectic manifolds (which are used to describe regular and singular mechanical systems), and certain cases of multisymplectic manifolds, and extends it…
On a symplectic manifold $M$, the quantum product defines a complex, one parameter family of flat connections called the A-model or Dubrovin connections. Let $\hbar$ denote the parameter. Associated to them is the quantum $\mathcal{D}$ -…
We study the space of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in compact symplectic manifolds with convex boundary. We show that the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants can be extended to the class of semi-positive manifolds with convex boundary. This…
In this paper we provide a complete characterisation of coisotropic embeddings of precosymplectic manifolds into cosymplectic manifolds. This result extends a theorem of Gotay about coisotropic embeddings of presymplectic manifolds. We also…
We identify a certain universal Landau-Ginzburg model as a mirror of the big equivariant quantum cohomology of a (not necessarily compact or semipositive) toric manifold. The mirror map and the primitive form are constructed via Seidel…
We introduce the notion of an isotropic quantum state associated with a Bohr-Sommerfeld manifold in the context of Berezin-Toeplitz quantization of general prequantized symplectic manifolds, and we study its semi-classical properties using…
We introduce new finite-dimensional cohomologies on symplectic manifolds. Each exhibits Lefschetz decomposition and contains a unique harmonic representative within each class. Associated with each cohomology is a primitive cohomology…
It has been established that endowing classical phase space with a Riemannian metric is sufficient for describing quantum mechanics. In this letter we argue that, while sufficient, the above condition is certainly not necessary in passing…
We extend the Marsden-Weinstein reduction theorem and the Darboux-Moser-Weinstein theorem to symplectic Lie algebroids. We also obtain a coisotropic embedding theorem for symplectic Lie algebroids.
The geometric quantization of a symplectic manifold endowed with a prequantum bundle and a metaplectic structure is defined by means of an integrable complex structure. We prove that its semi-classical limit does not depend on the choice of…
Moser proved in 1965 in his seminal paper that two volume forms on a compact manifold can be conjugated by a diffeomorphism, that is to say they are equivalent, if and only if their associated cohomology classes in the top cohomology group…
This is a report for my Master's reading project where I review some basic ideas in the theory of prequantizing a symplectic manifold. The classic proof that a symplectic manifold is prequantizable if and only if its symplectic form is…
The Hamiltonian system of general relativity and its quantization without any matter or gauge fields are discussed on the basis of the symplectic geometrical theory. A symplectic geometry of classical general relativity is constructed using…
Using the idea of the degree of a smooth mapping between two manifolds of the same dimension we present here the topological (homotopical) classification of the mappings between spheres of the same dimension, vector fields, monopole and…
Darboux's theorem guarantees the existence of local canonical coordinates on symplectic manifolds under certain conditions. We demonstrate a general method to construct such Darboux coordinates in the vicinity of a fixed point of a…
The main result is that for a connected hyperbolic complete K\"ahler manifold with bounded geometry of order two and exactly one end, either the first compactly supported cohomology with values in the structure sheaf vanishes or the…
This is an introduction to some of the analytic (or integrable systems) aspects of quantum cohomology which have attracted much attention during the last few years. The small quantum cohomology algebra, regarded as an example of a Frobenius…
Based on the Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups $H_{EL}^{(2k-1)}({\cal M}^{2n}) (1 \leqslant k\leqslant n)$ on symplectic manifold $({\cal M}^{2n}, \omega)$, their properties and a kind of classification of vector fields on the manifold, we…
We introduce notions such as cdp presheaf, cds precosheaf, Mayer-Vietoris system, and investigate their properties. As applications, we study cohomologies with values in local systems on smooth manifolds and Dolbeault cohomologies with…
The Darboux theorem in symplectic geometry implies that any two points in a connected symplectic manifold have neighbourhoods symplectomorphic to each other. The impossibility of such a theorem in the more general multisymplectic framework…
