Study calculates Ricci bounds for special Fano manifolds.

We consider odd Poisson (odd symplectic) structure on supermanifolds induced by an odd symmetric rank $2$ (non-degenerate) contravariant tensor field. We describe the difference between odd Riemannian and odd symplectic structure in terms of the Cartan prolongation of the corresponding Lie algebras, and formulate an an…

We consider odd Laplace operators arising in odd symplectic geometry. Approach based on semidensities (densities of weight 1/2) is developed. The role of semidensities in the Batalin--Vilkovisky formalism is explained. In particular, we study the relations between semidensities on an odd symplectic supermanifold and di…

It is shown that the characteristic vector field associated to a first order PDE has the same form of an infinitesimal generator of an odd-symplectic transformation with contact Hamiltonian the given PDE. It is considered under which condition such PDE has a characteristic vector field commuting with a generator of an …

We recall the main facts about the odd Laplacian acting on half-densities on an odd symplectic manifold and discuss a homological interpretation for it suggested recently by P. {Š}evera. We study the relationship of odd symplectic geometry with classical objects. We show that the Berezinian of a canonical transformatio…

The paper establishes a local systolic inequality for odd-symplectic forms.

Study cohomology of odd symplectic manifolds, linking to Lagrangian submanifolds and BV Laplacians.

Differential forms on an odd symplectic manifold form a bicomplex: one differential is the wedge product with the symplectic form and the other is de Rham differential. In the corresponding spectral sequence the next differential turns out to be the Batalin-Vilkoviski operator.

The action of Batalin-Vilkovisky Delta-operator on semidensities in an odd symplectic superspace is defined. This is used for the construction of integral invariants on surfaces embedded in an odd symplectic superspace and for more clear interpretation of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism geometry.

The divergence-like operator on an odd symplectic superspace which acts invariantly on a specially chosen odd vector field is considered. This operator is used to construct an odd invariant semidensity in a geometrically clear way. The formula for this semidensity is similar to the formula of the mean curvature of hype…

We consider semidensities on a supermanifold E with an odd symplectic structure. We define a new $Δ$-operator action on semidensities as the proper framework for Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. We establish relations between semidensities on E and differential forms on Lagrangian surfaces. We apply these results to Batal…

Study symplectic scalar curvature on supermanifolds.

We construct the odd symplectic structure and the equivariant even (pre)symplectic one from it on the space of differential forms on the Riemann manifold. The Poincare -- Cartan like invariants of the second structure define the equivariant generalizations of the Euler classes on the surfaces.

Supergeneralization of $\DC P(N)$ provided by even and odd Kählerian structures from Hamiltonian reduction are construct.Operator $Δ$ which used in Batalin-- Vilkovisky quantization formalism and mechanics which are bi-Hamiltonian under corresponding even and odd Poisson brackets are considered.

Classifies linear embeddings of grassmannians and ind-grassmannians.

In our previous works, we introduced, for each (super)manifold, a commutative algebra of densities. It is endowed with a natural invariant scalar product. In this paper, we study geometry of differential operators of second order on this algebra. In the more conventional language they correspond to certain operator pen…

Study proves existence of precotangent bundles for Grassmannians.

The paper finds inequalities in Grassmannian geometry.

We consider the geometry of second order linear operators acting on the commutative algebra of densities on a (super)manifold introduced in our previous work. In the conventional language, operators on the algebra of densities correspond to operator pencils. This algebra has a natural invariant scalar product. We consi…

Let $Σ$ be a connected closed three-manifold, and let $t_Σ$ be the order of the torsion subgroup of $H_1(Σ;\mathbb Z)$. For a contact form $α$ on $Σ$, we denote by $\mathrm{Volume}(α)$ the contact volume of $α$, and by $T_{\min}(α)$ and $T_{\max}(α)$ the minimal period and the maximal period of prime periodic orbits of…

A well-known result of A. Vaintrob characterizes Lie algebroids and their morphisms in terms of homological vector fields on supermanifolds. We give an interpretation of Lie bialgebroids and their morphisms in terms of odd symplectic dg-manifolds, building on the approach of D. Roytenberg. This extends naturally to the…

Curious structure of special orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic groups as products of Grassmannians discovered.

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

Using the Plucker map between grassmannians, we study basic aspects of classic grassmannian geometries. For `hyperbolic' grassmannian geometries, we prove some facts (for instance, that the Plucker map is a minimal isometric embedding) that were previously known in the `elliptic' case.

The geometry of supermanifolds provided with $Q$-structure (i.e. with odd vector field $Q$ satisfying $\{ Q,Q\} =0$), $P$-structure (odd symplectic structure ) and $S$-structure (volume element) or with various combinations of these structures is studied. The results are applied to the analysis of Batalin-Vilkovisky ap…

The affine Grassmannian is a noncompact smooth manifold that parameterizes all affine subspaces of a fixed dimension. It is a natural generalization of Euclidean space, points being zero-dimensional affine subspaces. We will realize the affine Grassmannian as a matrix manifold and extend Riemannian optimization algorit…

The classical concept of affine locally symmetric spaces allows a generalization for various geometric structures on a smooth manifold. We remind the notion of symmetry for parabolic geometries and we summarize the known facts for $|1|$--graded parabolic geometries and for almost Grassmannian structures, in particular.…

This paper proves area-minimizing cones over Grassmannian manifolds.

We prove that there does not exist any semi-parallel real hypersurface in complex two-plane Grassmannians. With this result, the nonexistence of recurrent real hypersurfaces in complex two-plane Grassmannians can also be proved.

Develops a correspondence between symplectic orbits and Grassmannians.

The Grassmannian of affine subspaces is a natural generalization of both the Euclidean space, points being zero-dimensional affine subspaces, and the usual Grassmannian, linear subspaces being special cases of affine subspaces. We show that, like the Grassmannian, the affine Grassmannian has rich geometrical and topolo…

This paper contains a thorough introduction to the basic geometric properties of the manifold of Lagrangian subspaces of a linear symplectic space, known as the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It also reviews the important relationship between hypersurfaces in the Lagrangian Grassmannian and second-order PDEs.

A nonstandard invariant fourth order operator acting on functions on a manifold equipped with an almost Grassmannian structure with an arbitrary trorsion is found by means of the curved translation principle. This operator can be viewed as a Grassmannian analogue of the Paneitz operator well known from conformal geomet…
