We show how characteristic classes determine equivariant prequantization bundles over the space of connections on a principal bundle. These bundles are shown to generalize the Chern-Simons line bundles to arbitrary dimensions. Our result…
Let $M$ be a connected smooth manifold, let $\operatorname{Aut}(p)$ be the group automorphisms of the bundle $p\colon \mathbb{R}\times M\to \mathbb{R}$, and let $q\colon J^1(\mathbb{R},M)\times \mathbb{R\to }J^1(\mathbb{R},M)$ be the…
We study differential invariants of linear differential operators and use them to find conditions for equivalence of differential operators acting in line bundles over smooth manifolds with respect to groups of authomorphisms.
This work proposes a geometric insight into equivariant message passing on Riemannian manifolds. As previously proposed, numerical features on Riemannian manifolds are represented as coordinate-independent feature fields on the manifold. To…
In this paper we show that the transverse image of the momentum map of a Hamiltonian Lie group action admits a natural integral affine stratification with the property that over each stratum the momentum map is an equivariantly locally…
This paper is devoted to the study of the asymptotics of Monge-Amp\`ere volumes of direct images associated with high tensor powers of an ample line bundle. We study the leading term of this asymptotics and provide a classification of…
In K\"ahler geometry, the Donaldson-Fujiki moment map picture interprets the scalar curvature of a K\"ahler metric as a moment map on the space of compatible almost complex structures on a fixed symplectic manifold. In this paper, we…
In this paper we define invariants of Hamiltonian group actions for central regular values of the moment map. The key hypotheses are that the moment map is proper and that the ambient manifold is symplectically aspherical. The invariants…
We compare two notions of $G$-fiber bundles and $G$-principal bundles in the literature, with an aim to clarify early results in equivariant bundle theory that are needed in current work of equivariant algebraic topology. We also give…
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $G$ a compact connected Lie group acting on $M$ by isometries. In this paper, we study the equivariant cohomology of ${\bf X}=T^\ast M$, and relate it to the cohomology of the Marsden-Weinstein reduced space…
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold, $K$ a compact Lie group and $p:P\to M$ a principal $K$-bundle over $M$ endowed with a connection $A$. Fixing a bi invariant inner product on Lie algebra $\mathfrak{k}$ of $K$, the connection $A$…
Let G be a torus and M a G-Hamiltonian manifold with Kostant line bundle L and proper moment map. Let P be the weight lattice of G. We consider a parameter k and the multiplicity $m(\lambda,k)$ of the quantized representation associated to…
In recent years, deep learning techniques have shown great success in various tasks related to inverse problems, where a target quantity of interest can only be observed through indirect measurements by a forward operator. Common approaches…
This paper improves a previously established test involving only coefficients to decide a priori whether or not non-trivial symmetries of a large class of space-time dependent diffusion processes on the real line exist. When the existence…
Let a connected reductive group G act on the smooth connected variety X. The cotangent bundle of X is a Hamiltonian G-variety. We show that its "total moment map" has connected fibers. This is an expanded version of section 6 of my paper…
We study bundle gerbes on manifolds $M$ that carry an action of a connected Lie group $G$. We show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of $G$ by the smooth 2-group of hermitean line bundles on $M$. This 2-group extension…
In this note, we study an invariant associated to the zeros of the moment map generated by an action form, the infinitesimal index. This construction will be used to study the compactly supported equivariant cohomology of the zeros of the…
This is a survey of results concerning the asymptotic equilibrium distribution of zeros of random holomorphic polynomials and holomorphic sections of high powers of a positive line bundle, as related to the authors' recent work. Our primary…
The aim of this paper is to study symmetries of linearly singular differential equations, namely, equations that can not be written in normal form because the derivatives are multiplied by a singular linear operator. The concept of…
We study the Picard groups of connected linear algebraic groups, and especially the subgroup of translation-invariant line bundles. We prove that this subgroup is finite over every global function field. We also utilize our study of these…
