We prove that the derived critical locus of a $G$-invariant function $S:X\to\mathbb{A}^1$ carries a shifted moment map, and that its derived symplectic reduction is the derived critical locus of the induced function…

In this note we prove the following theorem: Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting on a compact symplectic manifold $M$ in a Hamiltonian fashion. If $L$ is an $l$-dimensional closed invariant submanifold of $M$, on which the $G$-action is…

This is the first in a sequence of papers in which we construct a quantum version of the Kirwan map from the equivariant quantum cohomology $QH_G(X)$ of a smooth complex projective variety X with the action of a connected complex reductive…

We construct new examples of special Lagrangian submanifolds $Y\subset \mathbf{C}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 3$ in a neighborhood of the origin, with an isolated singularity, but with cylindrical tangent cone $C\times\mathbf{R}$. Moreover,…

We prove that the moduli space of stable maps of degree 2 to the moduli space of rank 2 stable bundles of fixed determinant O(-x) over a smooth projective curve of genus g>2 has two irre- ducible components which intersect transversely. One…

We prove a general theorem which allows the determination of Lie symmetries of Laplace equation in a general Riemannian space using the conformal group of the space. Algebraic computing is not necessary. We apply the theorem in the study of…

Let $Y$ be an irreducible non-singular affine $G$-variety with a $2$-large action. We show that the Hamiltonian reduction $T^*Y/\!\!/\!\!/G$ is a symplectic variety with terminal singularities, isomorphic to the affine closure of…

Let G=G(t,z) be one of the N^2-dimensional bicovariant first order differential calculi for the quantum groups GL_q(N), SL_q(N), O_q(N), or Sp_q(N), where q is a transcendental complex number and z is a regular parameter. It is shown that…

We analyze degenerate, second-order, elliptic operators $H$ in divergence form on $L_2({\bf R}^{n}\times{\bf R}^{m})$. We assume the coefficients are real symmetric and $a_1H_\delta\geq H\geq a_2H_\delta$ for some $a_1,a_2>0$ where \[…

Suppose given a Hamiltonian and holomorphic action of $G=U(2)$ on a compact K\"{a}hler manifold $M$, with nowhere vanishing moment map. Given an integral coadjoint orbit $\mathcal{O}$ for $G$, under transversality assumptions we shall…

Dijkgraaf-Witten theories have a wide range of applications in topological phases of matter and the study of generalized global symmetries. We develop a method to construct BF-type Lagrangians for Dijkgraaf-Witten theories with non-abelian…

This paper gives a partial desingularisation construction for hyperk\"ahler quotients and a criterion for the surjectivity of an analogue of the Kirwan map to the cohomology of hyperk\"ahler quotients. This criterion is applied to some…

Let Gr(2, E) be the Grassmann bundle of two-planes associated to a general bundle E over a curve X. We prove that an embedding of Gr(2, E) by a certain twist of the relative Pl\"ucker map is not secant defective. This yields a new and more…

We consider a connected symplectic manifold $M$ acted on properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion by a connected Lie group $G$. Inspired to the recent paper \cite{gb2}, see also \cite{ch} and \cite{pacini}, we study Lagrangian orbits of…

The gauge symmetries of a general dynamical system can be systematically obtained following either a Hamiltonean or a Lagrangean approach. In the former case, these symmetries are generated, according to Dirac's conjecture, by the first…

We consider a general approach for the process of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetries in chiral gauge models. This approach is used to show the complete integrability of several one dimensional texture equations arising in…

We continue a previous analysis of the covariant Hamiltonian symplectic structure of General Relativity for spatially bounded regions of spacetime. To allow for near complete generality, the Hamiltonian is formulated using any fixed…

Associated to a symplectic quotient $M/\!/G$ is a Lagrangian correspondence $\Lambda_G$ from $M/\!/G$ to $M$. In this note, we construct in two examples quilts with seam condition on such a correspondence, in the case of $S^1$ acting on…
