The first part of this work constructs real positive-genus Gromov-Witten invariants of real-orientable symplectic manifolds of odd "complex" dimensions; the second part studies the orientations on the moduli spaces of real maps used in…

We prove a correspondence between Donaldson-Thomas invariants of quivers with potential having trivial attractor invariants and genus zero punctured Gromov-Witten invariants of holomorphic symplectic cluster varieties. The proof relies on…

Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely…

Multisymplectic geometry is an adequate formalism to geometrically describe first order classical field theories. The De Donder-Weyl equations are treated in the framework of multisymplectic geometry, solutions are identified as integral…

A Poisson manifold $(M^{2n},\p)$ is $b$-symplectic if $\bigwedge^n\p$ is transverse to the zero section. In this paper we apply techniques native to Symplectic Topology to address questions pertaining to $b$-symplectic manifolds. We provide…

In this paper we use a diffeo-geometric framework based on manifolds that are locally modeled on "convenient" vector spaces to study the geometry of some infinite dimensional spaces. Given a finite dimensional symplectic manifold…

We find a worldsheet realization of generalized complex geometry, a notion introduced recently by Hitchin which interpolates between complex and symplectic manifolds. The two-dimensional model we construct is a supersymmetric relative of…

We describe the symplectic structure and Hamiltonian dynamics for a class of Grassmannian manifolds. Using the two dimensional sphere ($S^2$) and disc ($D^2$) as illustrative cases, we write their path integral representations using…

For smooth projective G-varieties, we equate the gauged Gromov-Witten invariants for sufficiently small area and genus zero with the invariant part of equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants. As an application we deduce a gauged version of…

Let M be a compact oriented even-dimensional manifold. This note constructs a compact symplectic manifold S of the same dimension and a map f from S to M of strictly positive degree. The construction relies on two deep results: the first is…

The orientability problem in real Gromov-Witten theory is one of the fundamental hurdles to enumerating real curves. In this paper, we describe topological conditions on the target manifold which ensure that the uncompactified moduli spaces…

Twisted four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory famously gives a useful point of view on the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants of four-manifolds. In this paper we generalize the construction to include a path integral…

Goldman defined a symplectic form on the smooth locus of the $G$-character variety of a closed, oriented surface $S$ for a Lie group $G$ satisfying very general hypotheses. He then studied the Hamiltonian flows associated to $G$-invariant…

This note compares the usual (absolute) Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold with the invariants that count the curves relative to a (symplectic) divisor D. We give explicit examples where these invariants differ even though it…

We define new topological invariants for Anosov representations and study them in detail for maximal representations of the fundamental group of a closed oriented surface into the symplectic group.

We consider some differential geometric classes of local and nonlocal Poisson and symplectic structures on loop spaces of smooth manifolds which give natural Hamiltonian and multihamiltonian representations for some important nonlinear…

In this paper we introduce a notion of symplectic normal crossings divisor V and define the GW invariant of a symplectic manifold X relative such a divisor. Our definition includes normal crossings divisors from algebraic geometry. The…

A symplectic structure on the space of nondegenerate and nonparametrized curves in a locally affine manifold is defined. We also consider several interesting spaces of nondegenerate projective curves endowed with Poisson structures. This…

Concepts and techniques from the theory of G-structures of higher order are applied to the study of certain structures (volume forms, conformal structures, linear connections and projective structures) defined on a pseudo-Riemanniann…

This work is a continuation of our previous paper arXiv:1812.06473 where we have constructed ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on 4D manifolds with a Killing vector field with isolated fixed points. In this work we expand on the…
