A new direct construction method for Cartan-Moser chains.

Paper develops a weighted linearization approach for vector fields.

We propose two constructions extending the Chern-Moser normal form to non-integrable Levi-nondegenerate (hypersurface type) almost CR structures. One of them translates the Chern-Moser normalization into pure intrinsic setting, whereas the other directly extends the (extrinsic) Chern-Moser normal form by allowing non-C…

In this article, we first describe a normal form of real-analytic, Levi-nondegenerate submanifolds of $C^N$ of codimension d $\ge$ 1 under the action of formal biholomorphisms, that is, of perturbations of Levi-nondegenerate hyperquadrics. We give a sufficient condition on the formal normal form that ensures that the n…

In this paper we construct a large class of new normal forms for Levi-nondegenerate real hypersurfaces in complex spaces. We adopt a general approach illustrating why these normal forms are natural and which role is played by the celebrated Chern-Moser normal form. The latter appears in our class as the one with the "m…

This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part we study completely integrable systems, and their underlying structures, in detail. We study their deformation theory and the different equivalence relations surrounding it. We motivate the definition of weak equivalence (found in the literature) by studying diff…

Method studies equivalence of second order ODEs under specific transformations.

This paper is about the rigidity of compact group actions in the Poisson context. The main resut is that Hamiltonian actions of compact semisimple type are rigid. We prove it via a Nash-Moser normal form theorem for closed subgroups of SCI-type. This Nash-Moser normal form has other applications to stability results th…

Proves a theorem similar to Moser's using a normalization method.

We construct a complete convergent normal form for a real hypersurface in $\CC{N},\,N\geq 2$ at generic Levi degeneracy. This seems to be the first convergent normal form for a Levi-degenerate hypersurface. In particular, we obtain, in the spirit of the work of Chern and Moser \cite{chern}, distinguished curves in the …

We prove the existence of a local smooth Levi decomposition for smooth Poisson structures and Lie algebroids near a singular point. In the appendix of this paper, we show an abstract Nash-Moser normal form theorem, which generalizes our Levi decomposition result and which may be helpful in the study of other smooth nor…

Proves convergence of normal forms for infinite-dimensional Lie pseudo-group actions.

We consider free and proper cotangent-lifted symmetries of Hamiltonian systems. For the special case of G = SO(3), we construct symplectic slice coordinates around an arbitrary point. We thus obtain a parametrisation of the phase space suitable for the study of dynamics near relative equilibria, in particular for the B…

Reduces a complex hypersurface to a simplified equation with primary invariants.

The paper establishes a Poisson Poincaré-Dulac theorem for Poisson-flat connections.

We prove the rigidity of presymplectic actions of a compact semisimple Lie algebra on a presymplectic manifold of constant rank in the local and global case. The proof uses an abstract normal form theorem we had stated in a previous work, based on an iterative process of Nash-Moser type. In order to use correctly this …

We prove a stability result for volume forms on fiber bundles with compact base and noncompact fibers. This generalizes the classical results of Moser and Greene--Shiohama, and recent work by the authors.

We give a detailed, self-contained proof of Geoffrey Martin's normal form theorem for Lagrangian submanifolds of standard multisymplectic manifolds (that generalises Alan Weinstein's famous normal form theorem in symplectic geometry), providing also complete proofs for the necessary results in foliated differential top…

On a doubling metric measure space endowed with a "carré du champ", we consider $L^p$ estimates $(G_p)$ of the gradient of the heat semigroup and scale-invariant $L^p$ Poincaré inequalities $(P_p)$. We show that the combination of $(G_p)$ and $(P_p)$ for $p\ge 2$ always implies two-sided Gaussian heat kernel bounds. Th…

Normal forms and invariants for nondegenerate hypersurfaces in C^2.

We study deformations of Lie groupoids by means of the cohomology which controls them. This cohomology turns out to provide an intrinsic model for the cohomology of a Lie groupoid with values in its adjoint representation. We prove several fundamental properties of the deformation cohomology including Morita invariance…

Consider a $2$-nondegenerate constant Levi rank $1$ rigid $\mathcal{C}^ω$ hypersurface $M^5 \subset \mathbb{C}^3$ in coordinates $(z, ζ, w = u + iv)$: \[ u = F\big(z,ζ,\bar{z},\barζ\big). \] The Gaussier-Merker model $u=\frac{z\bar{z}+ \frac{1}{2}z^2\barζ+\frac{1}{2} \bar{z}^2 ζ}{1-ζ\barζ}$ was shown by Fels-Kaup 2007 …

Establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for smooth triviality of Lie subalgebras and Lie ideals, and proves Moser's trick for foliations.

Moser's theorem (1965) states that the diffeomorphism group of a compact manifold acts transitively on the space of all smooth positive densities with fixed volume. Here we describe the extension of this result to manifolds with corners. In particular we obtain Moser's theorem on simplices. The proof is based on Banyag…

For a manifold with boundary, the restriction of Chern's transgression form of the Euler curvature form over the boundary is closed. Its cohomology class is called the secondary Chern-Euler class and used by Sha to formulate a relative Poincaré-Hopf theorem, under the condition that the metric on the manifold is locall…

New classification of complex hypersurfaces using advanced algebraic methods.

Study metric perturbations to make degenerate harmonic forms non-degenerate.

New theorems prove uniqueness of solutions to geometric PDEs.

We prove the conjecture of Tian on the strong form of the Moser-Trudinger inequality for Kahler-Einstein manifolds with positive first Chern class, when there are no holomorphic vector fields, and, more generally, when the setting is invariant under a maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group.

Moser Flow generates models for complex geometries on manifolds without ODE solvers.

The six nondegeneracy conditions of geometric nature that are satisfied by the only six possibly existing nondegenerate general classes I, II, III-1, III-2, IV-1, IV-2 of 5-dimensional CR manifolds are shown to be readable instantaneously from their elementarily normalized respective defining graphed equations, without…

We prove a rigidity theorem in Poisson geometry around compact Poisson submanifolds, using the Nash-Moser fast convergence method. In the case of one-point submanifolds (fixed points), this immediately implies a stronger version of Conn's linearization theorem, also proving that Conn's theorem is, indeed, just a manife…

Two Morse-Bott volume forms are diffeomorphic if their cohomology classes are equal.

The abstract proves a Moser-like theorem for C-symplectic structures and applies it to complex manifolds.

Generalizes Poincaré-Hopf Theorem for piecewise smooth boundaries.

We show that the Spivak normal fibration of an orientable 4-dimensional Poincaré complex has a vector bundle reduction.

A famous result of Jurgen Moser states that a symplectic form on a compact manifold cannot be deformed within its cohomology class to an inequivalent symplectic form. It is well known that this does not hold in general for noncompact symplectic manifolds. The notion of Eliashberg-Gromov convex ends provides a natural r…

We generalize the Weinstein-Moser theorem on the existence of nonlinear normal modes near an equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system to a theorem on the existence of relative perodic orbits near a relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetries. In particular we prove that under appropriate hypothes…

New proofs for complex Hopf manifolds using geometric structures.

Contradicts claims about Poincaré complexes and homology manifolds.

We generalize the Weinstein-Moser theorem on the existence of nonlinear normal modes (i.e., periodic orbits) near an equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system to a theorem on the existence of relative periodic orbits near a relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetries. More specifically we signific…

This thesis studies normal forms for Poisson structures around symplectic leaves using several techniques: geometric, formal and analytic ones. One of the main results (Theorem 2) is a normal form theorem in Poisson geometry, which is the Poisson-geometric version of the Local Reeb Stability (from foliation theory) and…
