On connections, geodesics and sprays in synthetic differential geometry
We study invariant contact -spheres on principal circle-bundles and solve the corresponding existence problem in dimension 3. Moreover, we show that contact - spheres can only exist on -dimensional manifolds and we construct examples of contact -spheres on such manifolds. We also consider relations between tautness and roundness, a regularity property concerning the Reeb vector fields of the contact forms in a contact -sphere.
We generalize the result of Lerman [Letters Math. Phys. 15 (1988)] concerning the condition of fatness of the canonical connection in a certain principal fibre bundle. We also describe new classes of symplectically fat bundles: twistor budles over spheres, bundles over quaternionic Kähler homogeneous spaces and locally homogeneous complex manifolds.
In this note we introduce the concept of F-algebroid, and give its elementary properties and some examples. We provide a description of the almost duality for Frobenius manifolds, introduced by Dubrovin, in terms of a composition of two anchor maps of a unique cotangent F-algebroid.
We give different notions of Liouville forms, generalized Liouville forms and vertical Liouville forms with respect to a locally trivial fibration π:E → M. These notions are linked with those of semi-basic forms and vertical forms. We study the infinitesimal automorphisms of these forms; we also investigate the relations with momentum maps.
We study a holomorphic equivariant cohomology built out of the Atiyah algebroid of an equivariant holomorphic vector bundle and prove a related localization formula. This encompasses various residue formulas in complex geometry, in particular we shall show that it contains as special cases Carrell-Liebermann’s and Feng-Ma’s residue formulas, and Baum-Bott’s formula for the zeroes of a meromorphic vector field.
The paper explains the notion of projectively equivariant quantization. It gives a sketch of Martin Bordemann's proof of the existence of projectively equivariant quantization on arbitrary manifolds.
There is a class of metrics on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold (oriented , or non-oriented, respectively), which are ’naturally constructed’ from the base metric [Kow-Sek1]. We call them “-natural metrics" on . To our knowledge, the geometric properties of these general metrics have not been studied yet. In this paper, generalizing a process of Musso-Tricerri (cf. [Mus-Tri]) of finding Riemannian metrics on from some quadratic forms on to find metrics (not necessary Riemannian)...
We propose a Givental-type stationary phase integral representation for the restricted Grm,N-Whittaker function, which is expected to describe the (S 1×U N)-equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of the Grassmann variety Grm,N. Our key tool is a generalization of the Whittaker model for principal series U(gl N)-modules, and its realization in the space of functions of totally positive unipotent matrices. In particular, our construction involves a representation theoretic derivation of the Batyrev-Ciocan-Fontanine-Kim-van...
Results on derivations and automorphisms of some quantum and classical Poisson algebras, as well as characterizations of manifolds by the Lie structure of such algebras, are revisited and extended. We prove in particular a somewhat unexpected fact that the algebras of linear differential operators acting on smooth sections of two real vector bundles of rank 1 are isomorphic as Lie algebras if and only if the base manifolds are diffeomorphic, whether or not the line bundles themselves are isomorphic....
A Riemann-Poisson Lie group is a Lie group endowed with a left invariant Riemannian metric and a left invariant Poisson tensor which are compatible in the sense introduced in [4]. We study these Lie groups and we give a characterization of their Lie algebras. We give also a way of building these Lie algebras and we give the list of such Lie algebras up to dimension 5.
