The moving coframe method is applied to solve the local equivalence problem for the class of linear parabolic equations in two independent variables under an action of the pseudo-group of contact transformations. The structure equations and…
We show a non-existence result for some class of equivariant maps between sphere bundles over tori. The notion of equivariant KO-degree is used in the proof. As an application to Seiberg-Witten theory, for a connected closed oriented spin…
A general formulation of zero curvature connections in a principle bundle is presented and some applications are discussed. It is proved that a related connection based on a prolongation in an associated bundle remains zero curvature as…
In this paper, a new criterion for the similarity of commuting tuples of operators on Hilbert spaces is introduced. As an application, we obtain a geometric similarity invariant of tuples in the Cowen-Douglas class which gives a partial…
Bundle gerbes are simple examples of higher geometric structures that show their utility in dealing with topological subtleties of physical theories. I review a recent construction of torsion topological invariants for condensed matter…
Many important theories in modern physics can be stated using differential geometry. Symplectic geometry is the natural framework to deal with autonomous Hamiltonian mechanics. This admits several generalizations for nonautonomous systems,…
Generalizing the canonical symplectization of contact manifolds, we construct an infinite dimensional non-linear Stiefel manifold of weighted embeddings into a contact manifold. This space carries a symplectic structure such that the…
In this article we analyze several mathematical models with singularities where the classical cotangent model is replaced by a $b$-cotangent model. We provide physical interpretations of the singular symplectic geometry underlying in…
This article is devoted to a study of flat orbifold vector bundles. We construct a bijection between the isomorphic classes of proper flat orbifold vector bundles and the equivalence classes of representations of the orbifold fundamental…
Under the assumption that the base field k has characteristic 0, we compute the algebraic cobordism fundamental classes of a family of Schubert varieties isomorphic to full and symplectic flag bundles. We use this computation to prove a…
The algebraic method of singular reduction is applied for non regular group action on manifolds which provides singular symplectic spaces. The problem of deformation quantization of the singular surfaces is the focus. For some examples of…
There appeared not long ago a Reduction Formula for derived Hochschild cohomology, that has been useful e.g., in the study of Gorenstein maps and of rigidity w.r.t. semidualizing complexes. The formula involves the relative dualizing…
Given a finite quiver, its double may be viewed as its non-commutative "cotangent" space, and hence is a non-commutative symplectic space. Crawley-Boevey, Etingof and Ginzburg constructed the non-commutative reduction of this space while…
A diffeological connection on a diffeological vector pseudo-bundle is defined just the usual one on a smooth vector bundle; this is possible to do, because there is a standard diffeological counterpart of the cotangent bundle. On the other…
We investigate G-invariant symplectic structures on the cotangent bundle T*P of a principal G-bundle P(M,G) which are canonically related to automorphisms of the tangent bundle TP covering the identity map of P and commuting with the action…
The leitmotiv of this review is noncommutative principal U(1)-bundles and associated line bundles. In the first part I give a brief introduction to Hopf-Galois theory and its applications, from field extensions to principal group actions. I…
In this article we consider quantum phase space reduction when zero is a regular value of the momentum map. By analogy with the classical case we define the BRST cohomology in the framework of deformation quantization. We compute the…
We review the elementary theory of gauge fields and the Becchi-Rouet-Stora- Tyutin symmetry in the context of differential geometry. We emphasize the topological nature of this symmetry and discuss a double Chevalley-Eilenberg complex for…
Contact algebra is one of the main tools in region-based theory of space. In \cite{dmvw1, dmvw2,iv,i1} it is generalized by dropping the operation Boolean complement. Furthermore we can generalize contact algebra by dropping also the…
Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…
