This note is a summary of our work [OO] which provides an explicit and global moduli-theoretic framework for the collapsing of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics and we use it to study especially the K3 surfaces case. For instance, it allows us to…
We show that the moduli space of semistable G-bundles on an elliptic curve for a reductive group G is isomorphic to a power of the elliptic curve modulo a certain Weyl group which depend on the topological type of the bundle. This…
We compute cohomology of the moduli space of genus three curves with level two structure and some related spaces. In particular, we determine the cohomology groups of the moduli space of plane quartics with level two structure as…
For the rational, elliptic and trigonometric r-matrices, we exhibit the links between three "levels" of Poisson spaces: (a) Some finite-dimensional spaces of matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the complex line; (b) Spaces of spectral…
We construct a quadratic Morse-Bott function on the real Grassmannian of a symplectic vector space from a compatible linear complex structure. We show that its critical loci consist of linear subspaces that split into isotropic and complex…
This text presents some basic notions in symplectic geometry, Poisson geometry, Hamiltonian systems, Lie algebras and Lie groups actions on symplectic or Poisson manifolds, momentum maps and their use for the reduction of Hamiltonian…
We develop a general approach to study geometric flows on homogeneous spaces. Our main tool will be a dynamical system defined on the variety of Lie algebras called the bracket flow, which coincides with the original geometric flow after a…
Using the Magri method one defines an involutive family of Hamiltonians on Banach Lie-Poisson space iR+UL_res^1 (which contains the restricted Grassmannian as a symplectic leaf) and on its complexification C+L_res^1. The hierarchy of…
We give some concrete examples of moduli spaces of connections. Precisely, we explain how to explicitly construct the moduli spaces of rank 2 fuchsian systems and logarithmic connections on the Riemann sphere with 4 poles. The former ones…
The fact that the modular template coincides with the Lorenz template, discovered by Ghys, implies modular knots have very peculiar properties. We obtain a generalization of these results to other Hecke triangle groups. In this context, the…
Integrable flows on the Grassmannians Gr(N-1,N+1) are defined by the requirement of closedness of the differential N-1 forms $\Omega_{N-1}$ of rank N-1 naturally associated with Gr(N-1,N+1). Gauge-invariant parts of these flows, given by…
We study the moduli space of euclidean structures with cone points on a surface, and describe a decomposition into cells each of which corresponds to a given combinatorial type of Delaunay tessellation. We use some of the ideas to study…
We study reductions of the Hamiltonian flows restricted to their invariant submanifolds. As examples, we consider partial Lagrange-Routh reductions of the natural mechanical systems such as geodesic flows on compact Lie groups and…
A $k$-polar Grassmannian is the geometry having as pointset the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of a vector space $V$ which are totally isotropic for a given non-degenerate bilinear form $\mu$ defined on $V.$ Hence it can be regarded…
After an introductory chapter on the quantum supersymmetric string, in which particular attention will be devoted to the techniques via which phenomenologically viable models can be obtained from the ultraviolet microscopic degrees of…
In this paper, we prove various results on the topology of the Grassmannian of oriented 3-planes in Euclidean 6-space and compute its cohomology ring. We give self-contained proofs. These spaces come up when studying submanifolds of…
Let U be a real form of a complex semisimple Lie group, and tau, sigma, a pair of commuting involutions on U. This data corresponds to a reflective submanifold of a symmetric space, U/K. We define an associated integrable system, and…
We describe compactifications of the moduli spaces of SU(2) monopoles on R3 as manifolds with corners, with respect to which the hyperKaehler metrics admit asymptotic expansions up to each boundary face. The boundary faces encode monopoles…
In this article, we pursue the study begun in \cite{Lup02} on the cohomology of rationally elliptic coformal spaces. Consequently, we complete, for such spaces, the proof of Lupton's conjecture and deduce Hilali's.
The Gelfand-Tsetlin and the Feigin-Fourier-Littelmann-Vinberg polytopes for the Grassmannians are defined, from the perspective of representation theory, to parametrize certain bases for highest weight irreducible modules. These polytopes…
