Homogeneous compatible almost complex structures on symplectic manifolds are studied, focusing on those which are special, meaning that their Chern-Ricci form is a multiple of the symplectic form. Non Chern-Ricci flat ones are proven to be…

2-group symmetries are generalized symmetries that arise when 1-form and 0-form symmetries mix with each other. We uncover the existence of a class of 2-group symmetries in general 4d N=2 theories of Class S that can be constructed by…

Let $G_{2(2)}$ be the non-compact connected simple Lie group of type $G_2$ over $\mathbb{R}$, and let $M$ be a connected analytic complete pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G_{2(2)}$-action with a dense orbit. For the…

In this note we describe the cohomology ring of the Grassmannian of $k$-planes in $n$-dimensional complex vector space as an $\mathrm{GL}_n$-module. We give explicit formulas for the operators of its principal $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple. It…

We introduce the concept of morphism of pseudogroups generalizing the \'etal\'e morphisms of Haefliger. With our definition, any continuous foliated map induces a morphism between the corresponding holonomy pseudogroups. The main theorem…

Let $M$ be a finite volume analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit, where $G$ is a connected non-compact simple Lie group. For low-dimensional $M$, i.e. $\dim(M) < 2\dim(G)$, when the…

The correspondence between Poisson structures and symplectic groupoids, analogous to the one of Lie algebras and Lie groups, plays an important role in Poisson geometry; it offers, in particular, a unifying framework for the study of…

The regular point-line geometry with respect to a pseudo-polarity is introduced. It is weaker than the underlying metric-projective geometry. The automorphism group of this geometry is determined. This geometry can be also expressed as the…

The group PGL(2) of linear transformations of the projective line acts naturally on the d-dimensional projective space P^d parametrizing configurations (`d-tuples') of points on the line. In this note we are concerned with the orbits of…

We study Riemannian nilmanifolds associated with graphs. We prove that such a nilmanifold is geodesic orbit if and only if it is naturally reductive if and only if its defining graph is the disjoint union of complete graphs and the…

The nth symmetric product of a Riemann surface carries a natural family of Kaehler forms, arising from its interpretation as a moduli space of abelian vortices. We give a new proof of a formula of Manton-Nasir for the cohomology classes of…

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold and $G$ a connected, compact Lie group acting on $M$ in a Hamiltonian way. In this paper, we study the equivariant cohomology of $M$ represented by basic differential forms, and relate it to the cohomology…

We consider a closed orientable Riemannian 3-manifold $(M,g)$ and a vector field $X$ with unit norm whose integral curves are geodesics of $g$. Any such vector field determines naturally a 2-plane bundle contained in the kernel of the…
