For a riemannian structure on a semidirect product of Lie groups, the variational problems can be reduced using the group symmetry. Choosing the Levi-Civita connection of a positive definite metric tensor, instead of any of the canonical connections for the Lie group, simplifies the reduction of the variations but complicates the expression for the Lie algebra valued covariant derivatives. The origin of the discrepancy is in the semidirect product structure, which implies that the riemannian exponential...

In this article, we study the quantum mechanics of N electrons and M nuclei interacting by Coulomb forces. Motivated by an important idea of Chandrasekhar and following Herbst [H], we modify the usual kinetic energy -∆ to take into account an effect from special relativity. As a result, the system can implode for unfavorable values of the nuclear charge Z and the fine structure constant α. This is analogous to the gravitational collapse of a heavy star. Our goal here is to find those values of α...
The paper begins with some general remarks which include the Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence, a covariant version of the Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology, and the definition of an associated Serre-Hochshild spectral sequence. Then we consider the regular case, and we discuss the Poisson cohomology by using a natural bigrading of the Lichnerowicz cochain complex. Furthermore, if the symplectic foliation of the Poisson manifold is either transversally Riemannian or transversally symplectic, the spectral...
Henri Poincaré avait déjà remarqué que les variétés stable et instable du pendule perturbé, défini par l’hamiltonienne coïncident pas lorsque que le paramètre n’est pas nul, mais qu’on peut leur associer un même développement formel divergent en puissance de . Cette divergence est ici analysée au moyen de la récente théorie de la résurgence, et du calcul étranger qui permet de trouver un équivalent asymptotique de l’écart des deux variétés pour tendant vers zéro - du moins cela est-il montré...
