Higher-order tangent bundles have geometric structures compatible with their iterated bundle structure.
Constructs a new geometric structure on surfaces to generalize Teichmüller theory.
Geometric structures are lifted to higher tangent bundles preserving statistical properties.
Affine maps reveal higher rank structures in certain spaces.
We introduce and analyze a new geometric structure on topological surfaces generalizing the complex structure. To define this so called higher complex structure we use the punctual Hilbert scheme of the plane. The moduli space of higher complex structures is defined and is shown to be a generalization of the classical …
We compare two ways of interpreting higher order connections. The geometric approach lies in the decomposition of higher order tangent space into the horizontal and vertical structures while the jet--like approach considers a higher order connection as the section of a jet prolongation of a fibered manifold. Particular…
Combines higher complex structures with flat connections to link to -algebras.
Geometric framework for Milnor classifying spaces in diffeological spaces.
Unified approach to geometric structure equivalence problem.
We construct a higher Whitehead torsion map, using algebraic K-theory of spaces, and show that it satisfies the usual properties of the classical Whitehead torsion. This is used to describe a "geometric assembly map" defined on stabilized structure spaces in purely homotopy theoretic terms.
Geometric structures on -manifolds, i.e.~non-negatively graded manifolds with an homological vector field, encode non-graded geometric data on Lie algebroids and their higher analogues. A particularly relevant class of structures consists of vector bundle valued differential forms. Symplectic forms, contac…
The paper studies geometric Airy curve flows on R^n and their properties.
New spherical Milnor spaces for diffeological groups with geometric and topological properties.
Reductions of higher tangent bundles of Lie groupoids provide natural examples of geometric structures which we would like to call higher algebroids. Such objects can be also constructed abstractly starting from an arbitrary almost Lie algebroid. A higher algebroid is, in principle, a graded bundle equipped with a diff…
Superintegrable systems on surfaces are classified geometrically.
In this paper, we adapt part of Weinberger, Xie and Yu's breakthrough work, to define additive higher rho invariant for topological structure group by differential geometric version of signature operators, or in other words, unbounded Hilbert-Poincaré complexes.
Motivated by the quest to understand the analog of non-geometric flux compactification in the context of M-theory, we study higher dimensional analogs of generalized Poisson sigma models and corresponding dual string and p-brane models. We find that higher generalizations of the algebraic structures due to Dorfman, Roy…
We review the concept of a graded bundle, which is a generalisation of a vector bundle, its linearisation, and a double structure of this kind. We then present applications of these structures in geometric mechanics including systems with higher order Lagrangian and the Plateau problem.
The abstract theorem is extended to higher genus surfaces.

This paper develops a geometric framework for Wilson surfaces in higher gauge theory.
New algebraic structures extend Courant algebroids to higher multi-Courant algebroids.
We present an introduction to the geometry of higher order vector and co--vector bundles (including higher order generalizations of the Finsler geometry and Kaluza--Klein gravity) and review the basic results on Clifford and spinor structures on spaces with generic local anisotropy modeled by higher order nonlinear con…
We prove that any holomorphic locally homogeneous geometric structure on a complex torus, modelled on a complex homogeneous surface, is translation invariant. We conjecture that this result is true is any dimension. In higher dimension we prove it here for nilpotent models. We also prove that in any dimension the trans…
Introduces VB-structures for geometric objects on manifolds.
Higher KdV flows on spaces of closed equicentroaffine plane curves are studied and it is shown that the flows are described as certain multi-Hamiltonian systems on the spaces. Multi-Hamiltonian systems describing higher mKdV flows are also given on spaces of closed Euclidean plane curves via the geometric Miura transfo…
This article presents the further steps of the previously done studies taking into consideration the k-th order extensions of a complex manifold. In the previous studies higher order vertical and complete lifts of structures on the complex manifold were introduced. Presently, k-th extended spaces of a product manifold …
Geometric structures on manifolds became popular when Thurston used them in his work on the geometrization conjecture. They were studied by many people and they play an important role in higher Teichmüller theory. Geometric structures on a manifold are closely related with representations of the fundamental group and w…
HLRC offers a new curvature metric for hypergraphs that balances interpretability and efficiency.
Unified geometric framework for quantum states using dual number algebras.
We describe three perspectives on higher quantization, using the example of magnetic Poisson structures which embody recent discussions of nonassociativity in quantum mechanics with magnetic monopoles and string theory with non-geometric fluxes. We survey approaches based on deformation quantization of twisted Poisson …
The work proposes a geometric background of the theory of field interactions and strings in spaces with higher order anisotropy. Our approach proceeds by developing the concept of higher order anisotropic superspace which unifies the logical and mathematical aspects of modern Kaluza-Klein theories and generalized Lagra…
We present a construction of a 2-Hilbert space of sections of a bundle gerbe, a suitable candidate for a prequantum 2-Hilbert space in higher geometric quantisation. We introduce a direct sum on the morphism categories in the 2-category of bundle gerbes and show that these categories are cartesian monoidal and abelian.…
Generative model designs highly designable proteins using geometric algebra.
We study underlying geometric structures for integral variational functionals, depending on submanifolds of a given manifold. Applications include (first order) variational functionals of Finsler and areal geometries with integrand the Hilbert 1-form, and admit immediate extensions to higher-order functionals.
Geometric AD framework simplifies derivative computation in JAX.
We classify and investigate locally conformally Kähler structures on four-dimensional solvable Lie algebras up to linear equivalence. As an application we can produce many examples in higher dimension, here including lcK structures on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds, and we also give a geometric interpretation of some of the…

New minimal surfaces in 4D space derived from parametric equations.
In this article we give a geometric interpretation of the Hitchin component for PSL(4,R) in the representation variety of a closed oriented surface of higher genus. We show that representations in the Hitchin component are precisely the holonomy representations of properly convex foliated projective structures on the u…
Study of symmetries in 2D Yang-Mills theory, including orbifolds and higher forms.
In this contribution we review some of the interplay between sigma models in theoretical physics and novel geometrical structures such as Lie (n-)algebroids. The first part of the article contains the mathematical background, the definition of various algebroids as well as of Dirac structures, a joint generalization of…
The paper explores higher property T in lattices and its connections to geometric phenomena.
Uniform criteria for stability of fixed points in various geometric structures.
We work in both the complex and in the para-complex categories and examine (para)-Kähler Weyl structures in both the geometric and in the algebraic settings. The higher dimensional setting is quite restrictive. We show that any (para)-Kaehler Weyl algebraic curvature tensor is in fact Riemannian in dimension at least 6…
We define the Kodaira dimension for -dimensional manifolds through Thurston's eight geometries, along with a classification in terms of this Kodaira dimension. We show this is compatible with other existing Kodaira dimensions and the partial order defined by non-zero degree maps. For higher dimensions, we explore th…
