Calculus on symplectic manifolds

Michael Eastwood, Jan Slovák (2018)

Archivum Mathematicum

On a symplectic manifold, there is a natural elliptic complex replacing the de Rham complex. It can be coupled to a vector bundle with connection and, when the curvature of this connection is constrained to be a multiple of the symplectic form, we find a new complex. In particular, on complex projective space with its Fubini–Study form and connection, we can build a series of differential complexes akin to the Bernstein–Gelfand–Gelfand complexes from parabolic differential geometry.

Canonical contact forms on spherical CR manifolds

Wei Wang (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We construct the CR invariant canonical contact form can ( J ) on scalar positive spherical CR manifold ( M , J ) , which is the CR analogue of canonical metric on locally conformally flat manifold constructed by Habermann and Jost. We also construct another canonical contact form on the Kleinian manifold Ω ( Γ ) / Γ , where Γ is a convex cocompact subgroup of Aut C R S 2 n + 1 = P U ( n + 1 , 1 ) and Ω ( Γ ) is the discontinuity domain of Γ . This contact form can be used to prove that Ω ( Γ ) / Γ is scalar positive (respectively, scalar negative, or scalar vanishing) if and...
