Manifolds admitting stable forms

Hông-Van Lê, Martin Panák, Jiří Vanžura (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this note we give a direct method to classify all stable forms on n as well as to determine their automorphism groups. We show that in dimensions 6, 7, 8 stable forms coincide with non-degenerate forms. We present necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for a manifold to admit a stable form. We also discuss rich properties of the geometry of such manifolds.

Maslov indices on the metaplectic group M p ( n )

Maurice De Gosson (1990)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We use the properties of M p ( n ) to construct functions μ : M p ( n ) Z 8 associated with the elements of the lagrangian grassmannian Λ (n) which generalize the Maslov index on Mp(n) defined by J. Leray in his “Lagrangian Analysis”. We deduce from these constructions the identity between M p ( n ) and a subset of S p ( n ) × Z 8 , equipped with appropriate algebraic and topological structures.

Metric of special 2F-flat Riemannian spaces

Raad J. K. al Lami (2005)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In this paper we find the metric in an explicit shape of special 2 F -flat Riemannian spaces V n , i.e. spaces, which are 2 F -planar mapped on flat spaces. In this case it is supposed, that F is the cubic structure: F 3 = I .

Modular vector fields and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras

Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach (2000)

Banach Center Publications

We show that a modular class arises from the existence of two generating operators for a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. In particular, for every triangular Lie bialgebroid (A,P) such that its top exterior power is a trivial line bundle, there is a section of the vector bundle A whose d P -cohomology class is well-defined. We give simple proofs of its properties. The modular class of an orientable Poisson manifold is an example. We analyse the relationships between generating operators of the Gerstenhaber...
