Over the past few years, it is gradually understood that de Rham Cohomology Theory is closely related to Saint-Venant's compatibility condition in the Elasticity Theory. In this article, we will discuss the Hodge Theory and de Rham…

We introduce and study Hodge-de Rham numbers for compact almost complex 4-manifolds, generalizing the Hodge numbers of a complex surface. The main properties of these numbers in the case of complex surfaces are extended to this more general…

Let $M$ be a closed oriented manifold of dimension $n$ and $\omega$ a closed 1-form on it. We discuss the question whether there exists a Riemannian metric for which $\omega$ is co-closed. For closed 1-forms with nondegenerate zeros the…

We demonstrate that the two (1 + 1)-dimensional (2D) free 1-form Abelian gauge theory provides an interesting field theoretical model for the Hodge theory. The physical symmetries of the theory correspond to all the basic mathematical…

We deal with compact K\"ahler manifolds $M$ acted on by a compact Lie group $K$ of isometries, whose complexification $K^\C$ has exactly one open and one closed orbit in $M$. If the $K$-action is Hamiltonian, we obtain results on the…

We use chain level genus zero Gromov-Witten theory to associate to any closed monotone symplectic manifold a formal group (loosely interpreted), whose Lie algebra is the odd degree cohomology of the manifold (with vanishing bracket). When…

For a manifold M we define a structure on the group action of Diff(M) on the smooth functions on M which reduces to the usual differential geometry upon differentiation at zero along the one-parameter groups of Diff(M). This ``integrated…

An adapted version of the proof (due to A. Weil) of the well-known de Rham Theorem allows us to compare uniformly the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms (on a compact Riemannian manifold) to the spectrum of the…

In this paper we prove a useful formula for the graded commutator of the Hodge codifferential with the left wedge multiplication by a fixed $p$-form acting on the de Rham algebra of a Riemannian manifold. Our formula generalizes a formula…

We give a proof of Kontsevich's formality theorem for a general manifold using Fedosov resolutions of algebras of polydifferential operators and polyvector fields. The main advantage of our construction of the formality quasi-isomorphism is…

We introduce the notion of a manifold admitting a simple compact Cartan 3-form $\om^3$. We study algebraic types of such manifolds specializing on those having skew-symmetric torsion, or those associated with a closed or coclosed 3-form…

The Dirichlet problem for a Monge-Ampere equation corresponding to a nonnegative, possible degenerate cohomology class on a Kaehler manifold with boundary is studied. C^{1,\alpha} estimates away from a divisor are obtained, by combining…

In this paper, first we give the notion of a compatible $3$-Lie algebra and construct a bidifferential graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are compatible $3$-Lie algebras. We also obtain the bidifferential graded Lie algebra…

For a smooth, closed $n$-manifold $M$, we define an upper semi-continuous integer-valued complexity function on $H^1(M;{\mathbb R})$ using Morse theory. This measures how far an integral class is from being a fiber of a fibration. The fact…
