Invertible cohomological field theories and Weil-Petersson volumes

Yuri I. Manin, Peter Zograf (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that the generating function for the higher Weil–Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points can be obtained from Witten’s free energy by a change of variables given by Schur polynomials. Since this generating function has a natural extension to the moduli space of invertible Cohomological Field Theories, this suggests the existence of a “very large phase space”, correlation functions on which include Hodge integrals studied by C. Faber and R. Pandharipande....

Isometric immersions and induced geometric structures

D‘Ambra, G. (1999)

Proceedings of the 18th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

In the paper under review, the author presents some results on the basis of the Nash-Gromov theory of isometric immersions and illustrates how the same results and ideas can be extended to other structures.

Isospectrality for quantum toric integrable systems

Laurent Charles, Álvaro Pelayo, San Vũ Ngoc (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We give a full description of the semiclassical spectral theory of quantum toric integrable systems using microlocal analysis for Toeplitz operators. This allows us to settle affirmatively the isospectral problem for quantum toric integrable systems: the semiclassical joint spectrum of the system, given by a sequence of commuting Toeplitz operators on a sequence of Hilbert spaces, determines the classical integrable system given by the symplectic manifold and commuting Hamiltonians. This type of...

Isotropy representation of flag manifolds

Alekseevsky, D. V. (1998)

Proceedings of the 17th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

A flag manifold of a compact semisimple Lie group G is defined as a quotient M = G / K where K is the centralizer of a one-parameter subgroup exp ( t x ) of G . Then M can be identified with the adjoint orbit of x in the Lie algebra 𝒢 of G . Two flag manifolds M = G / K and M ' = G / K ' are equivalent if there exists an automorphism φ : G G such that φ ( K ) = K ' (equivalent manifolds need not be G -diffeomorphic since φ is not assumed to be inner). In this article, explicit formulas for decompositions of the isotropy representation for all flag manifolds...

Jordan- and Lie geometries

Wolfgang Bertram (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

In these lecture notes we report on research aiming at understanding the relation beween algebras and geometries, by focusing on the classes of Jordan algebraic and of associative structures and comparing them with Lie structures. The geometric object sought for, called a generalized projective, resp. an associative geometry, can be seen as a combination of the structure of a symmetric space, resp. of a Lie group, with the one of a projective geometry. The text is designed for readers having basic...
