We present a geometric construction of central extensions of covering groups of the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms, integrating central extensions of the Lie algebra of divergence free vector fields defined by Lichnerowicz…

Seidel-Smith and Manolescu constructed knot homology theories using symplectic fibrations whose total spaces were certain varieties of matrices. These knot homology theories were associated to $SL(n) $ and tensor products of the standard…

We give a characterization of flat affine connections on manifolds by means of a natural affine representation of the universal covering of the Lie group of diffeomorphisms preserving the connection. From the infinitesimal point of view,…

Given an embedded cylinder in an arbitrary surface, we give a gauge theoretic definition of the associated Goldman flow, which is a circle action on a dense open subset of the moduli space of equivalence classes of flat SU(2)-connections…

We present a general formula for the Gaussian curvature of curved holomorphic 2-spheres in Grassmannian manifolds G(m, n). We then show how to construct such solutions with constant curvature. We also make some relevant conjectures for the…

Differential geometric structures such as the principal bundle for the canonical vector bundle on a complex Grassmann manifold, the canonical connection form on this bundle, the canonical symplectic form on a complex Grassmann manifold and…

In this paper, we generalize Medos-Wang's arguments and results on the mean curvature flow deformations of symplectomorphisms of $\CP^n$ in \cite{MeWa} to complex Grassmann manifold $G(n, n+m;\C)$ and compact totally geodesic…

Motivated by the work of Leznov--Mostovoy, we classify the linear deformations of standard $2n$-dimensional phase space that preserve the obvious symplectic $\mathfrak{o}(n)$-symmetry. As a consequence, we describe standard phase space, as…

We prove several generic existence results for infinitely many periodic orbits of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms or Reeb flows. For instance, we show that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a complex projective space or Grassmannian generically…

We explore various aspects of 2-form topological gauge theories in (3+1)d. These theories can be constructed as sigma models with target space the second classifying space $B^2G$ of the symmetry group $G$, and they are classified by…

We construct complete noncompact Riemannian metrics with $G_2$-holonomy on noncompact orbifolds that are $\Bbb R^3$-bundles with the twistor space $\mathcal{Z}$ as a spherical fiber.

We study Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds with non-contractible periodic orbits. In a variety of settings, we show that the presence of one non-contractible periodic orbit of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a…

Continuous formal deformations of the Poisson superbracket defined on compactly supported smooth functions on n-dimensional space taking values in a Grassmann algebra with m generating elements are described up to an equivalence…

We study the interplay between geodesics on two non-holono\-mic systems that are related by the action of a Lie group on them. After some geometric preliminaries, we use the Hamiltonian formalism to write the parametric form of geodesics.…

In this work we show that there is a Riemannian groupoid whose orbits are the closures of the leaves of a regular Riemannian foliation on a compact manifold. This groupoid is equivalent (in a generalized sense of Haefliger) with a…

A maniplex of rank n is a connected, n-valent, edge-coloured graph that generalises abstract polytopes and maps. If the automorphism group of a maniplex M partitions the vertex-set of M into k distinct orbits, we say that M is a k-orbit…

This paper resolves a long-standing open problem by providing a classification of Willmore $2$-spheres in $S^n$. We show that any such $2$-sphere is either totally isotropic--originating from the projection of a special twistor curve in the…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

We study geodesics in generalized Wallach spaces which are expressed as orbits of products of three exponential terms. These are homogeneous spaces $M=G/K$ whose isotropy representation decomposes into a direct sum of three submodules…

We provide a unique normal form for rank two irregular connections on the Riemann sphere.In fact, we provide a birational model where we introduce apparent singular points and where the bundlehas a fixed Birkhoff-Grothendieck decomposition.…
