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

We prove a normal form theorem for Poisson structures around Poisson transversals (also called cosymplectic submanifolds), which simultaneously generalizes Weinstein's symplectic neighborhood theorem from symplectic geometry and Weinstein's splitting theorem. Our approach turns out to be essentially canonical, and as a…

Study on surfaces pinched by curvature in space forms converging under specific conditions.

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…

Normal forms for equivariant maps in infinite dimensions established.

The aim of this paper is to prove a normal form Theorem for Dirac-Jacobi bundles using the recent techniques from Bursztyn, Lima and Meinrenken. As the most important consequence, we can prove the splitting theorems of Jacobi pairs which was proposed by Dazord, Lichnerowicz and Marle. As an application we provide a alt…

Normal forms and moduli stacks for flat connections on complex manifolds.

A local normal form theorem for smooth equivariant maps between Fréchet manifolds is established. Moreover, an elliptic version of this theorem is obtained. The proof these normal form results is inspired by the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction for dynamical systems and by the Kuranishi method for moduli spaces, and uses a s…

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…

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…

This paper considers asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with a finite boundary intersecting the usual infinite boundary -- cornered asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds -- and proves a theorem of Cartan-Hadamard type near infinity for the normal exponential map on the finite boundary. As a main application, a normal fo…

Theory of symplectic reduction in infinite dimensions developed.

New extension theorem for projective manifolds.

Normal forms and isotropic embeddings via Euler-like vector fields.

This article concerns cotangent-lifted Lie group actions; our goal is to find local and ``semi-global'' normal forms for these and associated structures. Our main result is a constructive cotangent bundle slice theorem that extends the Hamiltonian slice theorem of Marle, Guillemin and Sternberg. The result applies to a…

The paper investigates Liouville type theorems for various harmonic forms on Riemannian manifolds.

The following results are proved: Theorem 1. A totally real semiparallel submanifold of constant curvature with parallel f-structure in the normal bundle of a Kähler manifold N is flat or a totally geodesic submanifold of N. Theorem 2. A totally real minimal semiparallel submanifold M with parallel f-structure in the n…

We present a modern formulation of Élie Cartan's structure theory for Lie pseudogroups and prove a reduction theorem that clarifies the role of Cartan's systatic system. The paper is divided into three parts. In part one, using notions coming from the theory of Lie groupoids and algebroids, we introduce the framework o…

Normal forms for Q-structures on graded manifolds explained.

The study finds static solutions in symplectic curvature flow in 4D.

We construct local normal forms of pseudo-Riemannian projectively equivalent 2-dimensional metrics.

We study transverse conformal Killing forms on foliations and prove a Gallot-Meyer theorem for foliations. Moreover, we show that on a foliation with $C$-positive normal curvature, if there is a closed basic 1-form $φ$ such that $Δ_Bφ=qCφ$, then the foliation is transversally isometric to the quotient of a $q$-sphere.

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…

The paper proves a rigidity theorem for minimal submanifolds in spheres with flat normal bundle.

We prove the Poisson geometric version of the Local Reeb Stability (from foliation theory) and of the Slice Theorem (from equivariant geometry). The result is also a generalization of Conn's linearization theorem from one-point leaves to arbitrary symplectic leaves (however, we do not make use of Conn's theorem).

New proof of Alesker's Irreducibility Theorem using localization techniques.

We study the global geometry of surfaces in Sasakian space forms whose mean curvature vector is parallel in the normal bundle (these include the Riemannian Heisenberg space of dimension $2n+1$). We prove a codimension reduction theorem. We introduce two holomorphic quadratic differentials on anti-invariant such surface…

Given a manifold M with a submanifold N, the deformation space D(M,N) is a manifold with a submersion to R whose zero fiber is the normal bundle, and all other fibers are equal to M. This article uses deformation spaces to study the local behavior of various geometric structures associated with singular foliations, wit…

Sharp Veronese rigidity theorem for submanifolds of unit ball.

In these lectures notes I discuss the Linearization Theorem for Lie groupoids, and its relation to the various classical linearization theorems for submersions, foliations and group actions. In particular, I explain in some detail the recent metric approach to this problem.

The classical Pfaff-Darboux theorem, which provides local 'normal forms' for $1$-forms on manifolds, has applications in the theory of certain economic models [Chiappori P.-A., Ekeland I., Found. Trends Microecon. 5 (2009), 1-151]. However, the normal forms needed in these models often come with an additional requireme…

Local Lorentzian theorem preserves metrics or makes them flat.

New form of $D_4^-$-singularities for fronts in 3D space.

We show that in any triangulated 3-manifold, every index n topologically minimal surface can be transformed to a surface which has local indices (as computed in each tetrahedron) that sum to at most n. This generalizes classical theorems of Kneser and Haken, and more recent theorems of Rubinstein and Stocking, and is t…

Paper finds local normal forms for wavefronts in flat coordinates.

We consider isometric immersions into space forms having the second fundamental form parallel at order k. We show that this class of immersions consists of local products, in a suitably defined sense, of parallel immersions and normally flat immersions of flat spaces.

In this paper we extend the well-know normal form theorem for Lagrangian submanifolds proved by A. Weinstein in symplectic geometry to the setting of k-symplectic manifolds.

Method studies equivalence of second order ODEs under specific transformations.

The paper strengthens the classical result of MLE convergence to a Gaussian distribution.

The study pinches rigidity theorems for minimal submanifolds in spheres.

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…

Some new differentiable sphere theorems are obtained via the Ricci flow and stable currents. We prove that if $M^n$ is a compact manifold whose normalized scalar curvature and sectional curvature satisfy the pointwise pinching condition $R_0>σ_{n}K_{\max}$, where $σ_n\in (\frac{1}{4},1)$ is an explicit positive constan…

A classical theorem of Riemannian geometry, due in its original form to Cartan, states that the Taylor expansion of the metric in geodesic normal coordinates is a universal formal power series involving only the symmetrizations of the iterated covariant derivatives of the curvature tensor; this is known as the jet isom…

Authors calculate limits of curvatures on surfaces in sub-Riemannian manifolds.

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 …
