For a more general notion of Cartan connection we define characteristic classes, we investigate their relation to usual characteristic classes.

This article serves a few purposes. First of all, it reviews polyfold--Kuranishi correspondence I (http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.7008) and previews and samples some results from four papers I have been preparing. It is also a written-up and…

This work is mainly devoted to constructing a multisymplectic description of Lovelock's gravity, which is an extension of General Relativity. We establish a Griffiths variational problem for the Lovelock Lagrangian, obtaining the geometric…

For a prime p and natural number n with p greater than or equal to n, we establish the existence of a non-functorial one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of groups of order p^n whose derived subgroup has exponent dividing…

We construct a canonical correspondence from a wide class of reproducing kernels on infinite-dimensional Hermitian vector bundles to linear connections on these bundles. The linear connection in question is obtained through a pull-back…

The Riemannian product of two hyperbolic planes of constant Gaussian curvature -1 has a natural K\"ahler structure. In fact, it can be identified with the complex hyperbolic quadric of complex dimension two. In this paper we study…

Recently, Lobb and Nijhoff initiated the study of variational (Lagrangian) structure of discrete integrable systems from the perspective of multi-dimensional consistency. In the present work, we follow this line of research and develop a…

In this paper we discuss singular Lagrangian systems on the framework of contact geometry. These systems exhibit a dissipative behavior in contrast with the symplectic scenario. We develop a constraint algorithm similar to the presymplectic…

The Lagrangian formalism is developed for the population dynamics of interacting species that are described by several well-known models. The formalism is based on standard Lagrangians, which represent differences between the physical…

Laplacian matrices of weighted graphs in surfaces $S$ are used to define module and polynomial invariants of $Z/2$-homologically trivial links in $S \times [0,1]$. Information about virtual genus is obtained.

For a space endowed with a general quadratic multi-time Lagrangian and an associated non-linear connection, the paper constructs the main Riemann-Lagrange distinguished geometric objects (linear connection, torsion and curvature).

In this paper, we give a complete classification of symplectic structures on six-dimensional Frobeniusian solvable Lie algebras, up to symplectomorphism. We provide a scheme to classify the isomorphism classes of six-dimensional…

We extend the notion of polar duality to pairs of transverse Lagrangian planes in the standard symplectic space. This allows us to show that polar duality has a natural interpretation in terms of symplectic geometry. We apply our results to…

This article gives a classification, up to symplectic equivalence, of singular Lagrangian foliations given by a completely integrable system of a 4-dimensional symplectic manifold, in a full neighbourhood of a singular leaf of focus-focus…

We develop a new method to construct the virtual fundamental classes for quasi-smooth derived schemes using the perverse sheaves of vanishing cycles on their $-1$-shifted contangent spaces. It is based on the author's previous work that can…

We construct a lagrangian geometric formulation for first-order field theories using the canonical structures of first-order jet bundles, which are taken as the phase spaces of the systems in consideration. First of all, we construct all…

We prove that the Lagrangian correspondences induced by the symplectic reduction maps at free zero level sets of the moment maps are unobstructed after bulk deformation, assuming the existence of certain equivariant Kuranishi structures and…

We present a new multisymplectic framework for second-order classical field theories which is based on an extension of the unified Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formalism to these kinds of systems. This model provides a straightforward and simple…

We show how the homogeneous variational bicomplex provides a useful formalism for describing a number of properties of single-integral variational problems, and we introduce a subsequence of one of the rows of the bicomplex which is locally…

The objective of this work is twofold: First, we analyze the relation between the k-cosymplectic and the k-symplectic Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalisms in classical field theories. In particular, we prove the equivalence between…
