Introduction to Graded Geometry, Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism and their Applications

Jian Qiu, Maxim Zabzine (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

These notes are intended to provide a self-contained introduction to the basic ideas of finite dimensional Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism and its applications. A brief exposition of super- and graded geometries is also given. The BV–formalism is introduced through an odd Fourier transform and the algebraic aspects of integration theory are stressed. As a main application we consider the perturbation theory for certain finite dimensional integrals within BV-formalism. As an illustration we present...

Invariant subspaces in higher order jet prolongations of a fibred manifold

Miroslav Doupovec, Alexandr Vondra (2000)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We present a generalization of the concept of semiholonomic jets within the framework of higher order prolongations of a fibred manifold. In this respect, a compilation of our 2-fibred manifold approach with the methods of natural operators theory is used.

Invariant variational problems on principal bundles and conservation laws

Ján Brajerčík (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this work, we consider variational problems defined by G -invariant Lagrangians on the r -jet prolongation of a principal bundle P , where G is the structure group of P . These problems can be also considered as defined on the associated bundle of the r -th order connections. The correspondence between the Euler-Lagrange equations for these variational problems and conservation laws is discussed.

Involutivity degree of a distribution at superdensity points of its tangencies

Silvano Delladio (2021)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let Φ 1 , ... , Φ k + 1 (with k 1 ) be vector fields of class C k in an open set U N + m , let 𝕄 be a N -dimensional C k submanifold of U and define 𝕋 : = { z 𝕄 : Φ 1 ( z ) , ... , Φ k + 1 ( z ) T z 𝕄 } where T z 𝕄 is the tangent space to 𝕄 at z . Then we expect the following property, which is obvious in the special case when z 0 is an interior point (relative to 𝕄 ) of 𝕋 : If z 0 𝕄 is a ( N + k ) -density point (relative to 𝕄 ) of 𝕋 then all the iterated Lie brackets of order less or equal to k ...

Isospectral deformations of the Lagrangian Grassmannians

Jacques Gasqui, Hubert Goldschmidt (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the special Lagrangian Grassmannian S U ( n ) / S O ( n ) , with n 3 , and its reduced space, the reduced Lagrangian Grassmannian X . The latter is an irreducible symmetric space of rank n - 1 and is the quotient of the Grassmannian S U ( n ) / S O ( n ) under the action of a cyclic group of isometries of order n . The main result of this paper asserts that the symmetric space X possesses non-trivial infinitesimal isospectral deformations. Thus we obtain the first example of an irreducible symmetric space of arbitrary rank 2 , which is...
