On a 6-dimensional, conformal, oriented, compact manifold $M$ without boundary, we compute a whole family of differential forms $\Omega_6(f,h)$ of order 6, with $f,h \in C^\infty(M).$ Each of these forms will be symmetric on $f,$ and $h,$…

A pre-Schwarzian and a Schwarzian derivative for locally univalent pluriharmonic mappings in ${\mathbb C}^n$ are introduced. Basic properties such as the chain rule, multiplicative invariance and affine invariance are proved for these…

The method of nonlinear realizations is used to clarify some conceptual and technical issues related to the Schwarzian mechanics. It is shown that the Schwarzian derivative arises naturally, if one applies the method to SL(2,R) times R…

We prove the existence and the uniqueness of a conformally equivariant symbol calculus and quantization on any conformally flat pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,\rg)$. In other words, we establish a canonical isomorphism between the spaces of…

A mathematically correct approach to study theories with infinite-dimensional groups of symmetries is presented. It is based on quasi-invariant measures on the groups. In this paper, the properties of the measure on the group of…

Let $M$ be a manifold and $T^*M$ be the cotangent bundle. We introduce a 1-cocycle on the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$ with values in the space of linear differential operators acting on $C^{\infty} (T^*M).$ When $M$ is the…

We study a CR analogue of the Ahlfors derivative for conformal immersions of Stowe [23] that generalizes the CR Schwarzian derivative studied earlier by the second-named author [21]. This notion possesses several important properties…

In this paper we revisit the construction of supersymmetric Schwarzians using nonlinear realizations. We show that ${\cal N}=0,1,2,3,4$ supersymmetric Schwarzians can be systematically obtained as certain projections of Maurer-Cartan forms…

In this paper, we introduce definitions of the pre-Schwarzian and the Schwarzian derivatives for any locally univalent log-harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$. We explore the properties and…

We study conformal product structures on compact reducible Riemannian manifolds, and show that under a suitable technical assumption, the underlying Riemannian mani\-folds are either conformally flat, or triple products, \emph{i.e.} locally…

Fix a manifold M, and let V be an infinite dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields on M. Assume that V contains a finite dimensional semisimple maximal subalgebra A, the projective or conformal subalgebra. A projective or conformal…

There exists an extensive and fairly comprehensive discrete analytic function theory which is based on circle packing. This paper introduces a faithful discrete analogue of the classical Schwarzian derivative to this theory and develops its…

There is a class of Laplacian like conformally invariant differential operators on differential forms $L^\ell_k$ which may be considered the generalisation to differential forms of the conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian known as…

We consider the standard contact structure on the supercircle, S^{1|1}, and the supergroups E(1|1), Aff(1|1) and SpO(2|1) of contactomorphisms, defining the Euclidean, affine and projective geometry respectively. Using the new notion of…

We consider the family of all meromorphic functions $f$ of the form $$ f(z)=\frac{1}{z}+b_0+b_1z+b_2z^2+\cdots $$ analytic and locally univalent in the puncture disk $\mathbb{D}_0:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\,0<|z|<1\}$. Our first objective in this…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective and geometrically irreducible curve over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements and $K$ be its function field. Let $\infty$ be a fixed closed point on $X$ and $A$ be the ring of functions regular…

Using the Schwarzian derivative we construct a sequence $\left(P_{\ell}\right)_{\ell \geqslant 2}$ of meromorphic differentials on every non-flat oriented minimal surface in Euclidean $3$-space. The differentials…
