In this paper we define a canonical Poisson structure on a normal generalized contact metric space and use this structure to define a generalized Sasakian structure. We show also that this canonical Poisson structure enables us to…
We present, discuss and generalize an elegant geometrical proof of the law of cosines, due to Al Cuoco.
We introduce the notion of tropicalization for Poisson structures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with coefficients in Laurent polynomials. To such a Poisson structure we associate a polyhedral cone and a constant Poisson bracket on this cone. There is a…
A new Lax representation for the Bogoyavlensky lattice is found, its $r$--matrix interpretation is elaborated. The $r$--matrix structure turns out to be related to a highly nonlocal quadratic Poisson structure on a direct sum of associative…
We present a geometric proof for the duality theorem of linear programming. Besides being self-contained and simple, the present approach also provides a transparent way for understanding this fundamental result.
We describe geometric non-commutative formal groups in terms of a geometric commutative formal group with a Poisson structure on its splay algebra. We describe certain natural properties of such Poisson structures and show that any such…
The paper provides an elementary proof of Kenyon's necessary condition for the existence of a periodic tiling of the plane by squares with given periods. A similar new result on covering both sides of a rectangle by nonoverlaping squares is…
We study unital commutative associative algebras and their associated n-Lie algebras, showing that they are strong transposed Poisson n-Lie algebras under specific compatibility conditions. Furthermore, we generalize the simplicity…
We give a Poisson-geometric proof of the Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture for quadratic Lie algebras, based on the equivariant Moser trick.
We develop a general procedure for reduction along strong Dirac maps, which are a broad generalization of Poisson momentum maps. We recover a large number of familiar constructions in Poisson and quasi-Poisson geometry, and we introduce new…
We explicitly construct several Poisson structures with compact support. For example, we show that any Poisson structure on $\R^n$ with polynomial coefficients of degree at most two can be modified outside an open ball, such that it becomes…
In this short survey, we explain Parshin's proof of the geometric Bombieri-Lang conjecture, and show that it can be used to give an alternative proof of Xie-Yuan's recent resolution of the geometric Bombieri-Lang conjecture for projective…
Taking up the challenge McConnell laid down at the end of his proof of the law of cosines, we give a completely visual dissection proof of this theorem, which applies to any triangle. In order to avoid the trigonometric expressions of…
Decomposition techniques for linear programming are difficult to extend to conic optimization problems with general non-polyhedral convex cones because the conic inequalities introduce an additional nonlinear coupling between the variables.…
We describe transposed Poisson structures on the upper triangular matrix Lie algebra $T_n(F)$, $n>1$, over a field $F$ of characteristic zero. We prove that, for $n>2$, any such structure is either of Poisson type or the orthogonal sum of a…
Let N, N' and N'' be point processes such that N' is obtained from N by homogeneous independent thinning and N''= N- N'. We give a new elementary proof that N' and N'' are independent if and only if N is a Poisson point process. We present…
The main result of this paper is a convexity theorem for momentum mappings of certain hamiltonian actions of noncompact semisimple Lie groups. The image is required to fall within a certain open subset D of the (dual of the) Lie algebra,…
We prove an analog of Perron-Frobenius theorem for multilinear forms with nonnegative coefficients, and more generally, for polynomial maps with nonnegative coefficients. We determine the geometric convergence rate of the power algorithm to…
It is well known that the Poisson Lie algebra is isomorphic to the Hamiltonian Lie algebra. We show that the Poisson Lie algebra can be embedded properly in the special type Lie algebra. We also generalize the Hamiltonian Lie algebra using…
We consider the method of alternating projections for finding a point in the intersection of two closed sets, possibly nonconvex. Assuming only the standard transversality condition (or a weaker version thereof), we prove local linear…
