The notion of a coherent space is a nonlinear version of the notion of a complex Euclidean space: The vector space axioms are dropped while the notion of inner product is kept. Coherent spaces provide a setting for the study of geometry in…
These notes record three lectures given at the workshop "Higher symmetries in Physics", held at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in November 2008. In them we explain how to construct a Lie (super)algebra associated to a spin manifold,…
To every Gorenstein algebra $A$ of finite dimension greater than 1 over a field ${\Bbb F}$ of characteristic zero, and a projection $\pi$ on its maximal ideal ${\mathfrak m}$ with range equal to the annihilator $\hbox{Ann}({\mathfrak m})$…
This is the first paper in a series that studies smooth relative Lie algebra homologies and cohomologies based on the theory of formal manifolds and formal Lie groups. In this paper, we lay the foundations for this study by introducing the…
Graph embeddings, wherein the nodes of the graph are represented by points in a continuous space, are used in a broad range of Graph ML applications. The quality of such embeddings crucially depends on whether the geometry of the space…
We consider two categories related to symplectic manifolds: 1. Objects are symplectic manifolds and morphisms are symplectic embeddings. 2. Objects are symplectic manifolds endowed with compatible almost complex structure and morphisms are…
The deformability condition for submanifolds of fixed degree immersed in a graded manifold can be expressed as a system of first order PDEs. In the particular but important case of ruled submanifolds, we introduce a natural choice of…
We review the concept of a graded bundle as a natural generalisation of a vector bundle. Such geometries are particularly nice examples of more general graded manifolds. With hindsight there are many examples of graded bundles that appear…
In a previous work, the authors introduced the notion of `coherent tangent bundle', which is useful for giving a treatment of singularities of smooth maps without ambient spaces. Two different types of Gauss-Bonnet formulas on coherent…
Ultrahomogeneity and $\omega$-categoricity are two central concepts arising from model theory, with strong connections with oligomorphic permutation groups and quantifier elimination. In particular, both are conditions on the automorphism…
As an analogy of superalgebra of multivector fields with the Schounte bracket, we introduce a non-trivial superbracket on differential forms of manifold. We show properties of this new superalgebra. We extend this superalgebra by adding one…
Among its many corollaries, Poincare duality implies that the de Rham cohomology of a compact oriented manifold is a shifted commutative Frobenius algebra --- a commutative Frobenius algebra in which the comultiplication has cohomological…
Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…
We develop category-theoretic framework for universal homogeneous objects, with some applications in the theory of Banach spaces, linear orderings, and in topology of compact spaces.
We define \textit{graded manifolds} as a version of supermanifolds endowed with an additional $\mathbb Z$-grading in the structure sheaf, called \textit{weight} (not linked with parity). Examples are ordinary supermanifolds, vector bundles…
By virtue of the well-known theorem, a structure Lie group G of a principal bundle P is reducible to its closed subgroup H iff there exists a global section of the quotient bundle P/H. In gauge theory, such sections are treated as classical…
Homogenization of integral functionals is studied under the constraint that admissible maps have to take their values into a given smooth manifold. The notion of tangential homogenization is defined by analogy with the tangential…
Graded rings provide a natural algebraic framework for encoding symmetry via decompositions into homogeneous components indexed by a group, together with multiplication rules reflecting the group operation. Among graded rings, strongly…
Let $M$ be a complex manifold. We prove that a compact submanifold $S\subset M$ with splitting tangent sequence (called a splitting submanifold) is rational homogeneous when $M$ is in a large class of rational homogeneous spaces of Picard…
We develop the theory of equivariant harmonic self-maps of compact cohomogeneity one manifolds and construct new harmonic self-maps of the compact Lie groups SO(4L+2), L >= 1, with degree -3, of SO(8), SO(14) and SO(26) with degree -5 each,…
