A new directional derivative and a new subdifferential for set-valued convex functions are constructed, and a set-valued version of the so-called 'max-formula' is proven. The new concepts are used to characterize solutions of convex…
Ricci curvature and Ricci flow have proven to be powerful tools for analyzing the geometry of discrete structures, particularly on undirected graphs, where they have been applied to tasks ranging from community detection to graph…
The Dirac operator for a manifold Q, and its chirality operator when Q is even dimensional, have a central role in noncommutative geometry. We systematically develop the theory of this operator when Q=G/H, where G and H are compact…
In this note, we complete the classification of the geometry of non-compact two-dimensional gradient Ricci solitons. As a consequence, we obtain two corollaries: First, a complete two-dimensional gradient Ricci soliton has bounded…
We consider a generalized Ricci flow with a given (not necessarily closed) three-form and establish the higher derivatives estimates for compact manifolds. As an application, we prove the compactness theorem for this generalized Ricci flow.…
We present a novel approach to the classification of conformally equivariant differential operators on spinors in the case of homogeneous conformal geometry. It is based on the classification of solutions for a vector-valued system of…
Cubic invariants for two-dimensional degenerate Hamiltonian systems are considered by using variables of separation of the associated St\"ackel problems with quadratic integrals of motion. For the superintegrable St\"ackel systems the cubic…
We describe the exponential map from an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra to an infinite-dimensional group of operators on a Hilbert space. Notions of differential geometry are introduced for these groups. In particular, the Ricci curvature,…
In the present paper we continue the project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators on the example of representations of the conformal algebra induced from the maximal cuspidal parabolic.
Divided difference operators are degree-reducing operators on the cohomology of flag varieties that are used to compute algebraic invariants of the ring (for instance, structure constants). We identify divided difference operators on the…
In this paper we give a criterion for a deformation of a hermitian vector bundle to be Ricci-flat. As an application we show that on a K\"ahler manifold, every deformation of a vector bundle can be made Ricci-flat whereas on some Hopf…
This article is an overview of the results obtained in recent years on symplectic connections. We present what is known about preferred connections (critical points of a variational principle). The class of Ricci-type connections (for which…
We show that any left invariant metric with harmonic curvature on a solvable Lie group is Ricci-parallel. We show the same result for any Lie group of dimension $\leq$ 6.
We use variational methods to derive Hadamard-type formulae for the eigenvalues of a class of elliptic operators on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$. We then apply the latter in the following context. Consider a family of elliptic…
We describe a few elementary aspects of the circle of ideas associated with a quantum field theory (QFT) approach to Riemannian Geometry, a theme related to how Riemannian structures are generated out of the spectrum of (random or quantum)…
We investigate the curvature of invariant metrics on G-manifolds with finitely many non-principal orbits. We prove existence results for metrics of positive Ricci curvature and non-negative sectional curvature, and discuss some families of…
In this article, functional inequalities for diffusion semigroups on Riemannian manifolds (possibly with boundary) are established, which are equivalent to pinched Ricci curvature, along with gradient estimates, $L^p$-inequalities and…
We introduce a large class of bicovariant differential calculi on any quantum group $A$, associated to $Ad$-invariant elements. For example, the deformed trace element on $SL_q(2)$ recovers Woronowicz' $4D_\pm$ calculus. More generally, we…
We start in this work the study of the relation between the theory of regularity structures and paracontrolled calculus. We give a paracontrolled representation of the reconstruction operator and provide a natural parametrization of the…
We study a family $C_{s,l}$ of Capelli-type invariant differential operators on the space of rectangular matrices over a real division algebra. The $C_{s,l}$ descend to invariant differential operators on the corresponding Grassmannian,…
