We study symplectic structures on characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras (CNLAs) by computing the cohomology space $H^2(\Lg,k)$ for certain Lie algebras $\Lg$. Among these Lie algebras are filiform CNLAs of dimension $n\le 14$. It turns…

This thesis studies normal forms for Poisson structures around symplectic leaves using several techniques: geometric, formal and analytic ones. One of the main results (Theorem 2) is a normal form theorem in Poisson geometry, which is the…

The main purpose of the paper is to study hyperkahler structures from the viewpoint of symplectic geometry. We introduce a notion of hypersymplectic structures which encompasses that of hyperkahler structures. Motivated by the work of…

We present a construction (and classification) of certain invariant 2-forms on the real symplectic group. They are used to define a symplectic form on the quotient by a maximal torus and to "lift" a symplectic structure from a symplectic…

Let X be an affine normal variety with a C^*-action having only positive weights. Assume that X_{reg} has a symplectic 2-form w of weight l. We prove that, when l is not zero, the w is a unique symplectic 2-form of weight l up to…

We demonstrate that the functorial properties of the symplectic field theory under strong cobordisms and surgery cobordisms can produce finite algebraic (planar) torsions from simple examples, which gives a unified treatment of most of the…

In the present paper we study six dimensional solvable Lie algebras with special emphasis on those admitting a symplectic structure. We list all the symplectic structures that they admit and we compute their Betti numbers finding some…

We define an n-plectic structure as a commutative and torsionless Lie Rinehart pair, together with a distinguished cocycle from its Chevalley-Eilenberg complex. This 'n-plectic cocycle' gives rise to an extension of the Chevalley-Eilenberg…

We prove that the moduli space of gauge equivalence classes of symplectic vortices with uniformly bounded energy in a compact Hamiltonian manifold admits a Gromov compactification by polystable vortices. This extends results of Mundet i…

We prove that the deRham cohomology classes of Lee forms of locally conformally symplectic structures taming the complex structure of a compact complex surface $S$ with first Betti number equal to $1$ is either a non-empty open subset of…

We show how locally smooth actions of compact Lie groups on a manifold $X$ can be used to obtain new upper bounds for the topological complexity $\TC(X)$, in the sense of Farber. We also obtain new bounds for the topological complexity of…

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a symplectic manifold which has the strong Lefschetz property. We establish an equivariant version of the Merkulov-Guillemin $d\delta$-lemma and an improved version of the…

A self-dual harmonic 2-form on a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold is symplectic where it does not vanish. Furthermore, away from the form's zero set, the metric with the 2-form give a compatible almost complex structure and thus…

We use group cohomology and the de Rham complex on simplicial manifolds to give explicit differential forms representing generators of the cohomology rings of moduli spaces of representations of fundamental groups of 2-manifolds. These…

We develop the basic topological properties of compact polygons, i.e. of compact topological Tits buildings of rank two. It is proved that the Coxeter diagram of such a building is always crystallographic, that is, compact connected n-gons…

We prove that any coadjoint orbit with real eigenvalues of a complex semisimple Lie group, equipped with the real part of the canonical holomorphic symplectic form, is symplectomorphic to the cotangent bundle of a (partial) flag manifold.…

A homogeneous space G/H is said to have a compact Clifford-Klein form if there exists a discrete subgroup D of G that acts properly discontinuously on G/H, such that the quotient space D\G/H is compact. When n is even, we find every closed,…

For a Lie group $G=\R^{n}\ltimes_{\phi}\R^{m}$ with the semi-simple action $\phi:\R^{n}\to {\rm Aut}(\R^{m})$, we show that if $\Gamma$ is a finite extension of a lattice of $G$ then $K(\Gamma, 1)$ is formal. Moreover we show that a compact…

Let M be a compact simply connected hyperk\"ahler (or holomorphically symplectic) manifold, \dim H^2(M)=n. Assume that M is not a product of hyperkaehler manifolds. We prove that the Lie algebra so(n-3,3) acts by automorphisms on the…

In a previous paper, we obtained a cohomological obstruction to the existence of compact manifolds locally modelled on a homogeneous space. In this paper, we give a classification of the semisimple symmetric spaces to which this obstruction…
