Study on embeddings and their topological properties in R^d.

The abstract shows how embeddings inscribe trapezoids or map three points to a line, proving nonexistence of certain maps.

The paper studies harmonic symmetric bilinear forms on Riemannian manifolds and proves properties of the Bourguignon Laplacian.

Defines coupled embeddability for maps on products of spaces, generating examples and nonexamples.

In this paper, we extend Su-Zhang's Cheeger-Mueller type theorem for symmetric bilinear torsions to manifolds with boundary in the case that the Riemannian metric and the non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form are of product structure near the boundary. Our result also extends Bruening-Ma's Cheeger-Mueller type theorem…

Generalizes Riemann's results on flat coordinates for non-symmetric bilinear forms.

Let V be the pseudo-Euclidean vector space of signature (p,q), p>2 and W a module over the even Clifford algebra Cl^0 (V). A homogeneous quaternionic manifold (M,Q) is constructed for any spin(V)-equivariant linear map Π: \wedge^2 W \to V. If the skew symmetric vector valued bilinear form Πis nondegenerate then (M,Q) i…

New mathematical proposal for TQFTs using TMF-modules.

Let X be a nonsingular simply connected projective variety of dimension m, E a rank n vector bundle on X, and L a line bundle on X. Suppose that $S^2(E^{*}) \otimes L$ is an ample vector bundle and that there is a constant even rank $r \ge 2$ symmetric bundle map $E \to E^{*} \otimes L$. We prove that $m \le n-r$. We u…

A 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra n is called nonsingular if ad(X): n --> [n,n] is onto for any X not in [n,n]. We explore nonsingular algebras in several directions, including the classification problem (isomorphism invariants), the existence of canonical inner products (nilsolitons) and their automorphism groups (maxima…

The second fundamental form of Riemannian geometry is generalised to the case of a manifold with a linear connection and an integrable distribution. This bilinear form is generally not symmetric and its skew part is the torsion. The form itself is closely related to the shape map of the connection. The codimension one …

The study finds points on surfaces where a tensor is conformal to a metric.

Minimal rational curves on compactified symmetric spaces are orbit-closures of 1-parameter subgroups.

Study isotropy groups for complex orthogonal and skew-symmetric matrices.

We generalize a theorem of Bismut-Zhang, which extends the Cheeger-Mueller theorem on Ray-Singer torsion and Reidemeister torsion, to the case where the flat vector bundle over a closed manifold carries a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form. As a consequence, we prove the Burghelea-Haller conjecture which gives an an…

We present structural properties of Lie algebras admitting symmetric, invariant and nondegenerate bilinear forms. We show that these properties are not satisfied by nilradicals of parabolic subalgebras of real split forms of complex simple Lie algebras, neither by 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated with graphs, w…

Neuc-MDS extends MDS for non-Euclidean data.

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a field $F$ of characteristic different from 2, and let $Q$ be a nondegenerate, symmetric, bilinear form on $V$. Let $C\ell(V,Q)$ be the Clifford algebra determined by $V$ and $Q$. The bilinear form $Q$ extends in a natural way to a nondegenerate, symmetric, bilinear fo…

This paper is motivated by the real symplectic isotopy problem : does there exists a nonsingular real pseudoholomorphic curve not isotopic in the projective plane to any real algebraic curve of the same degree? Here, we focus our study on symmetric real curves on the projective plane. We give a classification of real s…

We define the twisted Blanchfield pairing of a symmetric triad of chain complexes over a group ring Z[G], together with a unitary representation of G over an Ore domain with involution. We prove that the pairing is sesquilinear, and we prove that it is hermitian and nonsingular under certain extra conditions. A twisted…

Consider a smooth manifold with a smooth metric which changes bilinear type from Riemann to Lorentz on a hypersurface $Σ$ with radical tangent to $Σ$. Two natural bilinear symmetric forms appear there, and we use it to analyze the geometry of $Σ$. We show the way in which these forms control the smooth extensibility ov…

We extend the main result in the previous paper of Zhang and the author relating the Milnor-Turaev torsion with the complex valued analytic torsion to the equivariant case.

Extended current algebra on S^3 with new bilinear form and 2-cocycle.

The paper characterizes harmonic maps and studies their properties on Riemannian manifolds.

In this note we prove the following three algebraic facts which have applications in the theory of holonomy groups and homogeneous spaces: Any irreducibly acting connected subgroup $G \subset Gl(n,\rr)$ is closed. Moreover, if $G$ admits an invariant bilinear form of Lorentzian signature, $G$ is maximal, i.e. it is con…

It is shown how one can apply the classification of the holonomy algebras of Lorentzian manifolds to solve some problems. In particular, a new proof to the classification of Lorentzian manifolds with recurrent curvature tensor is given; the classification of two-symmetric Lorentzian manifolds is explained; conformally …

In this paper, following J. Franks' work on Lyapunov graphs of nonsingular Smale flows on $S^3$, we study Lyapunov graphs of nonsingular Smale flows on $S^1 \times S^2$. More precisely, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions on an abstract Lyapunov graph to be associated with a nonsingular Smale flow on $S^1 …

This research introduces Lie brackets on spaces of biderivations in Lie algebras.

We deal with the problem of description of nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics for the general $N$-component case. We describe the scheme of the integrating the nonlinear equations describing nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics (or, in other words, nonsingular flat pencils of metrics). It is based on …

Via a non degenerate symmetric bilinear form we identify the coadjoint representation with a new representation and so we induce on the orbits a simplectic form. By considering Hamiltonian systems on the orbits we study some features of them and finally find commuting functions under the corresponding Lie-Poisson brack…

Constructs a bilinear form from a quasimorphism on symplectic manifold groups.

We introduce a notion of a weak Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ modeled on a locally convex space. This is done by specifying a Poisson bracket on a subalgebra $\cA \subeq C^\infty(M)$ which has to satisfy a non-degeneracy condition (the differentials of elements of $\cA$ separate tangent vectors) and we postulate …

Develops a bialgebra theory for post-Lie algebras using geometric interpretations and bilinear forms.

Let SO(n) act in the standard way on C^n and extend this action in the usual way to C^{n+1}. It is shown that a nonsingular special Lagrangian submanifold L in C^{n+1} that is invariant under this SO(n)-action intersects the fixed line C in a nonsingular real-analytic arc A (that may be empty). If n>2, then A has no co…

In his study of Dirac structures, a notion which includes both Poisson structures and closed 2-forms, T. Courant introduced a bracket on the direct sum of vector fields and 1-forms. This bracket does not satisfy the Jacobi identity except on certain subspaces. In this paper we systematize the properties of this bracket…

We introduce invariants of Hurwitz equivalence classes with respect to arbitrary group $G$. The invariants are constructed from any right $G$-modules $M$ and any $G$-invariant bilinear function on $M$, and are of bilinear forms. For instance, when $G$ is the mapping class group of the closed surface, $\mathcal{M}_g$, w…
