We give a description of gravitons in terms of an SL(2,C) connection field. The gauge-theoretic Lagrangian for gravitons is simpler than the metric one. Moreover, all components of the connection field have the same sign in front of their…
We examine the variational and conformal structures of higher order theories of gravity which are derived from a metric-connection Lagrangian that is an arbitrary function of the curvature invariants. We show that the constrained first…

A method to construct a geometric structure with the same solutions as a given variational principle is presented. The method applies to large families of variational principles. In particular, the known results that assign cosymplectic…
We construct monotone Lagrangian tori in the standard symplectic vector space, in the complex projective space and in products of spheres. We explain how to classify these Lagrangian tori up to symplectomorphism and Hamiltonian isotopy, and…
Using an elementary argument, we prove new fixed point theorems for classical elliptic complexes. We obtain new results for conformal relations and coisotropic intersections. We obtain theorems for the average intersections of families of…

We study certain types of piecewise smooth Lagrangian fibrations of smooth symplectic manifolds, which we call stitched Lagrangian fibrations. We extend the classical theory of action-angle coordinates to these fibrations by encoding the…
