In this paper, we investigate a relation between finite graphs, simplicial flag complexes and right-angled Coxeter groups, and we provide a class of reconstructible finite graphs. We show that if $Γ$ is a finite graph which is the 1-skeleton of some simplicial flag complex $L$ which is a homology manifold of dimension …

In this paper we provide an explicit description of normal almost contact structures obtained from Cartan-Ehresmann connections (gauge fields) on principal $S^{1}$-bundles over complex flag manifolds. The main feature of our approach is to employ elements of representation theory of complex simple Lie algebras in order…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions under which the complex coordinates on a flag manifold of a classical group described in [2] are Bochner coordinates.

We study, from the point of view of CR geometry, the orbits M of a real form G of a complex semisimple Lie group G in a complex flag manifold G/Q. In particular we characterize those that are of finite type and satisfy some Levi nondegeneracy conditions. These properties are also graphically described by attaching to t…

The aim of this paper is to classify all invariant generalized complex structure on a partial flag manifold $\mathbb{F}_Θ$ with at most four isotropy summands. To classify them all we proved that an invariant generalized almost complex structure on $\mathbb{F}_Θ$ is `constant' in each component of the isotropy represen…

We investigate the $CR$ geometry of the orbits $M$ of a real form $G_0$ of a complex simple group $G$ in a complex flag manifold $X=G/Q$. We are mainly concerned with finite type, Levi non-degeneracy conditions, canonical $G_0$-equivariant and Mostow fibrations, and topological properties of the orbits.

In this paper we construct a family of complex structures on a complex flag manifold that converge to the real polarization coming from the Gelfand-Cetlin integrable system, in the sense that holomorphic sections of a prequantum line bundle converge to delta-function sections supported on the Bohr-Sommerfeld fibers. Ou…

Constructs explicit $p$-harmonic functions on Grassmannians and flag manifolds.

We study the adjoint and coadjoint representations of a class of Lie group including the Euclidean group. Despite the fact that these representations are not in general isomorphic, we show that there is a geometrically defined bijection between the sets of adjoint and coadjoint orbits of such groups. In addition, we sh…

The purpose of this note is to define tri-moment maps for certain manifolds that carry closed non-degenerate 4-forms and an $Sp(1)^n$-action. Examples include quaternionic vector spaces and flag manifolds. We show how this map can be used ro reduce such manifolds to the ones with fewer symmetries. The images of such ma…

We describe moduli spaces of invariant generalized complex structures and moduli spaces of invariant generalized Kähler structures on maximal flag manifolds under $B$-transformations. We give an alternative description of the moduli space of generalized complex structures using pure spinors, and describe a cell decompo…

New correspondence links fluxless to fluxy flag manifolds via T-duality.

We obtain new families of (1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics on the full complex flag manifolds F(n). For n > 4, we characterize n-3 different n-dimensional families of (1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics on F(n). Any of these families corresponds to a different class of non-integrable invariant almost complex structure…

We say that a nonnegatively curved manifold $(M,g)$ has quarter pinched flag curvature if for any two planes which intersect in a line the ratio of their sectional curvature is bounded above by 4. We show that these manifolds have nonnegative complex sectional curvature. By combining with a theorem of Brendle and Schoe…

We define flag structures on a real three manifold M as the choice of two complex lines on the complexified tangent space at each point of M. We suppose that the plane field defined by the complex lines is a contact plane and construct an adapted connection on an appropriate principal bundle. This includes path geometr…

We study spin structures on compact simply-connected homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M = G/H, g) of a compact semisimple Lie group G. We classify flag manifolds F = G/H of a compact simple Lie group which are spin. This yields also the classification of all flag manifolds carrying an invariant metaplectic stru…

In the present paper we study flag manifold sigma-models that admit a zero-curvature representation. It is shown that these models may be naturally considered as interacting (holomorphic and anti-holomorphic) $βγ$-systems. Besides, using the theory of nilpotent orbits of complex Lie groups, we establish a relation to t…

Real flag manifolds are the isotropy orbits of noncompact symmetric spaces $G/K$. Any such manifold $M$ enjoys two very peculiar geometric properties: It carries a transitive action of the (noncompact) Lie group $G$, and it is embedded in euclidean space as a taut submanifold. The aim of the paper is to link these two …

We study a sigma-model with target space the flag manifold U(3)/U(1)^3. A peculiarity of the model is that the complex structure on the target space enters explicitly in the action. We describe the classical solutions of the model for the case when the worldsheet is a sphere CP^1.
