We developed a conformal map technique to analyze the attenuation of edge modes propagating along imperfect boundaries. In systems where the potential energy exhibits conformal invariance, the conformal transformation can straighten the…

Given a closed surface endowed with a volume form, we equip the space of compatible Riemannian structures with the structure of an infinite-dimensional symplectic manifold. We show that the natural action of the group of volume-preserving…

H-holomorphic maps are a parameter version of J-holomorphic maps into contact manifolds. They have arisen in efforts to prove the existence of higher--genus holomorphic open book decompositions and efforts to prove the existence of finite…

This paper deals with moduli spaces of framed principal bundles with connections with irregular singularities over a compact Riemann surface. These spaces have been constructed by Boalch by means of an infinite-dimensional symplectic…

We give a brief survey on the entropy of holomorphic self maps $f$ of compact K\"ahler manifolds, and rational dominating self maps $f$ of smooth projective varieties. We emphasize the connection between the entropy and the spectral radii…

We introduce quasi-symplectic groupoids and explain their relation with momentum map theories. This approach enables us to unify into a single framework various momentum map theories, including the ordinary Hamiltonian $G$-spaces, Lu's…

A version of noncommutative geometry is proposed which is based on phase-space rather than position space. The momenta encode the information contained in the algebra of forms by a map which is the noncommutative extension of the duality…

Modified Hamiltonians are used in the field of geometric numerical integration to show that symplectic schemes for Hamiltonian systems are accurate over long times. For nonlinear systems the series defining the modified Hamiltonian usually…

We introduce a map which reproduces qualitatively many fundamental properties of the dynamics of heavy particles in fluid flows. These include a uniform rate of decrease of volume in phase space, a slow-manifold effective dynamics when the…

In this article we address a number of features of the moduli space of spherical metrics on connected, compact, orientable surfaces with conical singularities of assigned angles, such as its non-emptiness and connectedness. We also consider…

Quasiconformal maps in the plane are orientation preserving homeomorphisms that satisfy certain distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map circles to ellipses of bounded eccentricity. Such maps have many useful geometric distortion…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety and let $S$ be a tropical variety associated to $X$. We study the tropicalization map from the moduli space of stable maps into $X$ to the moduli space of tropical curves in $S$. We prove that it is a…

We introduce new times in the monodromy preserving equations. While the usual times related to the moduli of complex structures of Riemann curves such as coordinates of marked points, we consider the moduli of generalized complex structures…

In the framework of formal deformation quantization, we apply our formal moment map construction on the space of almost complex structures to recover the Donaldson-Fujiki moment map picture of the Hermitian scalar curvature. In the…

In chapter 1 we define period mappings of Hodge-de Rahm type for certain submersive, yet not necessarily locally topologically trivial, morphisms of complex manifolds. Generalizing Griffiths's theory, we interpret the differential of such…

Using elementary hyperbolic geometry, we give an explicit formula for the contraction constant of the skinning map over moduli spaces of relatively acylindrical hyperbolic manifolds.

The term integrable asymptotically conformal at a point for a quasiconformal map defined on a domain is defined. Furthermore, we prove that there is a normal form for this kind attracting or repelling or super-attracting fixed point with…

We discuss a natural extension of the K\"ahler reduction of Fujiki and Donaldson, which realises the scalar curvature of K\"ahler metrics as a moment map, to a hyperk\"ahler reduction. Our approach is based on an explicit construction of…

In this paper we prove the existence of a solution to the Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps into a geodesic ball on which the squared distance function from the origin is strictly convex. This improves a celebrated theorem obtained by S.…

Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…
