In order to facilitate the comparison of Riemannian homogeneous spaces of compact Lie groups with noncommutative geometries ("quantizations") that approximate them, we develop here the basic facts concerning equivariant vector bundles and…
A "reduced" differential geometry adapted to the presence of abelian isometries is constructed.Classical T-duality diagonalizes in this setting, allowing us to get conveniently the transformation of the relevant geometrical objects such as…
Our goal in this note is to give a number of examples of abelian varieties over function fields k(t) which have bounded ranks in towers of extensions such as k(t^{1/d}) for varying d. Along the way we prove some new results on Fermat curves…
We obtain the Courant bracket twisted simultaneously by a 2-form $B$ and a bi-vector $\theta$ by calculating the Poisson bracket algebra of the symmetry generator in the basis obtained acting with the relevant twisting matrix. It is the…
We give a review of truncated L$_\infty$ algebras, as used in the study of higher gauge theory. These structures are believed to hold the correct properties to adequately describe gauge theory of extended objects. We discuss how to…
The purpose of the present paper is to present the main applications of a new method for the determination of the fractal structure of plane curves. It is focused on the inverse problem, that is, given a curve in the plane, find its fractal…
Differential calculi are obtained for quantum homogeneous spaces by extending Woronowicz' approach to the present context. Representation theoretical properties of the differential calculi are investigated. Connections on quantum…
Let $X$ be a smooth geometrically connected projective curve over the field of fractions of a discrete valuation ring $R$, and $\mathfrak{m}$ a modulus on $X$, given by a closed subscheme of $X$ which is geometrically reduced. The…
In this paper we explore algebraic and geometric structures that arise on parallelizable manifolds. Given a parallelizable manifold $\mathbb{L}$, there exists a global trivialization of the tangent bundle, which defines a map…
We consider the variational complex on infinite jet space and the complex of variational derivatives for Lagrangians of multidimensional paths and study relations between them. The discussion of the variational (bi)complex is set up in…
Jet isomorphism theorems for conformal geometry are discussed. A new proof of the jet isomorphism theorem for odd-dimensional conformal geometry is outlined, using an ambient realization of the conformal deformation complex. An infinite…
An important operation in generalized complex geometry is the Courant bracket which extends the Lie bracket that acts only on vectors to a pair given by a vector and a p-form. We explore the possibility of promoting the elements of the…
This review paper is concerned with the generalizations to field theory of the tangent and cotangent structures and bundles that play fundamental roles in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics. The paper…
We present a unified approach to constrained implicit Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems based on the introduced concept of Dirac algebroid. The latter is a certain almost Dirac structure associated with the Courant algebroid on the dual…
Transports preserving the angle between two contravariant vector fields but changing their lengths proportional to their own lengths are introduced as ''conformal'' transports and investigated over spaces with contravariant and covariant…
Hopf algebra structure on the differential algebra of the extended $q$-plane is defined. An algebra of forms which is obtained from the generators of the extended $q$-plane is introduced and its Hopf algebra structure is given.
In this paper, we introduce complex functional maps, which extend the functional map framework to conformal maps between tangent vector fields on surfaces. A key property of these maps is their orientation awareness. More specifically, we…
Employing a class of generalized connections, we describe certain differential complices $\left(\tilde \Omega^*_{\mathbb{T}}(M), \tilde{\mathbb{d}}^{\mathbb{T}}\right)$ constructed from $\wedge^* \mathbb{T} M$ and study some of their basic…
We develop a systematic approach to contact and Jacobi structures on graded supermanifolds. In this framework, contact structures are interpreted as symplectic principal GL(1,R)-bundles. Gradings compatible with the GL(1,R)-action lead to…
We study some aspects of the generalized geometry of nilmanifolds and examine to which extent different types of fluxes can coexist on them. Nilmanifolds constitute a class of homogeneous spaces which are interesting in string…
