We give a Lie-theoretic explanation for the convex polytope which parametrizes the globally smooth solutions of the topological-antitopological fusion equations of Toda type (tt$^*$-Toda equations) which were introduced by Cecotti and Vafa. It is known from [GL] [GIL1] [M1] [M2] that these solutions can be parametrized…

Develops Lie-theoretic perspective on Hitchin's equations for cyclic G-Higgs bundles.

We explicitly describe a relationship between the Lie theoretic and topological categorification of the Jones-Wenzl projector The two categorifications appear in arXiv:1007.4680 and arXiv:1005.5117 respectively.

In this note we construct an infinite-dimensional Lie group structure on the group of vertical bisections of a regular Lie groupoid. We then identify the Lie algebra of this group and discuss regularity properties (in the sense of Milnor) for these Lie groups. If the groupoid is locally trivial, i.e. a gauge groupoid, …

The main purpose of the following article is to introduce a \emph{Lie theoretical} approach to the problem of classifying pseudo quaternionic-Kähler (QK) reductions of the pseudo QK symmetric spaces, otherwise called \emph{generalized Wolf spaces}.

We give a general Lie-theoretic construction for anti-invariant almost Hermitian Riemannian submersions, anti-invariant quaternion Riemannian submersions, anti-invariant para-Hermitian Riemannian submersions, anti-invariant para-quaternion Riemannian submersions, and anti-invariant octonian Riemannian submersions. This…

Unified rigidity theorem for cyclic and alternating surfaces.

Motivated by a paper of Zirnbauer, we develop a theory of Riemannian supermanifolds up to a definition of Riemannian symmetric superspaces. Various fundamental concepts needed for the study of these spaces both from the Riemannian and the Lie theoretical viewpoint are introduced, e.g. geodesics, isometry groups and inv…

We study singular hyperkahler quotients of the cotangent bundle of a complex semisimple Lie group as stratified spaces whose strata are hyperkahler. We focus on one particular case where the stratification satisfies the frontier condition and the partial order on the set of strata can be described explicitly by Lie the…

New Einstein manifolds split into symmetric and compact parts.

New conditions for calibrated submanifolds in Riemannian geometry.

We analyze quantum Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{R}^2$ using a novel discretization method based on an algebraic analogue of stochastic calculus. Such an analogue involves working with "Gaussian" free fields whose covariance matrix is indefinite rather than positive definite. Specifically, we work with Lie-algebra valu…

Constructs coordinates to diagonalize Toda flow on matrices with simple spectrum.

Based on the Lie theoretical methods of algebraic Fourier transformation, we classify in the case of generic values of inducing parameters the scalar singular vectors corresponding to the diagonal branching rules for scalar generalized Verma modules in the case of orthogonal Lie algebra and its conformal parabolic suba…

Researchers compute the full spectrum of Laplace operator on distance spheres in symmetric spaces.

Study finds conditions for Kähler-Einstein metrics on flag manifolds.

This paper extends Dolbeault cohomology and its surrounding theory to arbitrary almost complex manifolds. We define a spectral sequence converging to ordinary cohomology, whose first page is the Dolbeault cohomology, and develop a harmonic theory which injects into Dolbeault cohomology. Lie-theoretic analogues of the t…

This expository article is an introduction to the adjoint orbits of complex semisimple groups, primarily in the algebro-geometric and Lie-theoretic contexts, and with a pronounced emphasis on the properties of semisimple and nilpotent orbits. It is intended to build a foundation for more specialized settings in which a…

The paper studies Lie algebroid and groupoid quotients with forms, applying to Poisson and Dirac structures.

Polytopes connect Lie theory to physics, integrating integrable systems.

It is proved that if S^6 possesses an integrable complex structure, then there exists a 1-dimensional family of pairwise different exotic complex structures on P_3(C). This follows immediately from the main result of the paper: S^6 is not the underlying differentiable manifold of an almost homogeneous complex manifold …

This is the pdf -version of the author's Ph.D. thesis (1995, ULB, Belgium). The notion of symeplectic symmertic space is introduced and studied via Lie theoretical and symplectic geoemetrical methods. The first chapter concerns basic poperties, however, an explicit formula for the Loos connection in the symplectic fram…

Study of homogeneous spaces in Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory.

Explains quantum cohomology of Grassmannians using tt* equations.

In \cite{Goto}, Ryushi Goto has constructed the deformation space for a manifold equipped with a collection of closed differential forms and showed that in some important cases (Calabi-Yau, $G_2$- and $Spin(7)$-structures) this deformation space is smooth. This result unifies the classical Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov and Jo…

In this article we obtain total masses of solutions to the Toda system associated to a general simple Lie algebra with singular sources at the origin. The determination of such total masses is one of the important steps towards establishing the a priori bound for solutions to the mean field type of Toda system on compa…

Ricci soliton contact metric manifolds with certain nullity conditions have recently been studied by Ghosh and Sharma. Whereas the gradient case is well-understood, they provided a list of candidates for the nongradient case.These candidates can be realized as Lie groups, but one only knows the structures of the underl…

Study of symplectic groupoids from tt*-Toda equations.

Study of Riemannian geometry on quaternionic unit ball linked to Sp(1,1) group.

Given a holomorphic principal bundle $Q\, \longrightarrow\, X$, the universal space of holomorphic connections is a torsor $C_1(Q)$ for $\text{ad} Q \otimes T^*X$ such that the pullback of $Q$ to $C_1(Q)$ has a tautological holomorphic connection. When $X\,=\, G/P$, where $P$ is a parabolic subgroup of a complex simple…

Simplified proof of Wang's theorem on complex homogeneous manifolds.

We propose a Lie-theoretic definition of the tt*-Toda equations for any complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, based on the concept of topological-antitopological fusion which was introduced by Cecotti and Vafa. Our main result concerns the Stokes data of a certain meromorphic connection, whose isomonodromic deform…

What are called secondary characteristic classes in Chern-Weil theory are a refinement of ordinary characteristic classes of principal bundles from cohomology to differential cohomology. We consider the problem of refining the construction of secondary characteristic classes from cohomology sets to cocycle spaces; and …

Study on submanifolds of Euclidean space, classifying their symmetry types.

Lie theory for the integration of Lie algebroids to Lie groupoids, on the one hand, and of Poisson manifolds to symplectic groupoids, on the other, has undergone tremendous developements in the last decade, thanks to the work of Mackenzie-Xu, Moerdijk-Mrcun, Cattaneo-Felder and Crainic-Fernandes, among others. In this …

The paper describes spectra of operators on rational homogeneous varieties.

Let $M^3 \subset \mathbb{C}^2$ be a $\mathcal{C}^ω$ Levi nondegenerate hypersurface. In the literature, Cartan-Moser chains are detected from rather advanced considerations: either from the construction of a Cartan connection associated with the CR equivalence problem; or from the construction of a formal or converging…
