We propose a natural Fedosov type quantization of generalized Lagrange models and gravity theories with metrics lifted on tangent bundle, or extended to higher dimension, following some stated geometric/ physical conditions (for instance,…

We prove the non-linear stability of a large class of spherically symmetric equilibrium solutions of both the collisonless Boltzmann equation and of the Euler equations in MOND. This is the first such stability result that is proven with…

Associated to a symmetric space there is a canonical connection with zero torsion and parallel curvature. This connection acts as a binary operator on the vector space of smooth sections of the tangent bundle, and it is linear with respect…

We examine the heap of linear connections on anchored vector bundles and Lie algebroids. Naturally, this covers the example of affine connections on a manifold. We present some new interpretations of classical results via this ternary…

We deal with the construction of linear connections associated with second order ordinary differential equations with and without first order constraints. We use a novel method allowing glueing of submodule covariant derivatives to produce…

The main purpose of this article is to introduce a comprehensive, unified theory of the geometry of all connections. We show that one can study a connection via a certain, closely associated second-order differential equation. One of the…

The configuration space of a non-linear sigma model is the space of maps from one manifold to another. This paper reviews the authors' work on non-linear sigma models with target a homogeneous space. It begins with a description of the…

Nonlinear optical responses are becoming increasingly relevant for characterizing the symmetries and quantum geometry of electronic phases in materials. Here, we develop an expanded diagrammatic scheme for calculating spatially dispersive…

In this paper, we present a method to identify integrable complex nonlinear oscillator systems and construct their solutions. For this purpose, we introduce two types of nonlocal transformations which relate specific classes of nonlinear…

Every metric symplectic Lie algebra has the structure of a quadratic extension. We give a standard model and describe the equivalence classes on the level of corresponding quadratic cohomology sets. Finally, we give a scheme to classify the…

This paper contains a thorough introduction to the basic geometric properties of the manifold of Lagrangian subspaces of a linear symplectic space, known as the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It also reviews the important relationship between…

We extend the result in J. Reine Angew. Math. 664, 29-53, to the non-compact case. Namely, we prove that the canonical connection on a simply connected and irreducible naturally reductive space is unique, provided the space is not a sphere,…

We provide an explicit example of a non trivial Legendrian knot $\Lambda$ such that there exists a Lagrangian concordance from $\Lambda_0$ to $\Lambda$ where $\Lambda_0$ is the trivial Legendrian knot. We then use the map induced in…

Multidimensional consistency has emerged as a key integrability property for partial difference equations (P$\Delta$Es) defined on the "space-time" lattice. It has led, among other major insights, to a classification of scalar affine-linear…

An orthogonality space is a set equipped with a symmetric, irreflexive relation called orthogonality. Every orthogonality space has an associated complete ortholattice, called the logic of the orthogonality space. To every poset, we…

The class of problems treated here are elliptic partial differential equations with a homogeneous boundary condition and a non-linear perturbation obtained by composition with a fixed smooth function. The existence of solutions is obtained…

Using geometric methods for linearizing systems of second order cubically semi-linear ordinary differential equations, we extend to the third order by differentiating the second order equation. This yields criteria for linearizability of a…

We consider a class of non-linear PDE systems, whose equations possess Noether identities (the equations are redundant), including non-variational systems (not coming from Lagrangian field theories), where Noether identities and…

By combining the generalized exterior algebra of forms over a noncommutative algebra with the gauging of discrete directions and the associated Higgs fields, we consider the construction of the bosonic sector of left-right symmetric models…

\noindent Let $M\to N$ (resp.\ $C\to N$) be the fibre bundle of pseudo-Riemannian metrics of a given signature (resp.\ the bundle of linear connections) on an orientable connected manifold $N$. A geometrically defined class of first-order…
