No exceptional orbits found in Hilbert spaces actions.

Study proves existence of precotangent bundles for Grassmannians.

New method shows unitarity in quantization for toric manifolds.

The geometry of symmetric spaces, polar actions, isoparametric submanifolds and spherical buildings is governed by spherical Weyl groups and simple Lie groups. A natural generalization of semisimple Lie groups are affine Kac-Moody groups as they mirror their structure theory and have good explicitely known representati…

We prove by Hilbert-Mumford criterion that a slope stable polarized weighted pointed nodal curve is Chow asymptotic stable. This generalizes the result of Caporaso on stability of polarized nodal curves, and of Hasset on weighted pointed stable curves polarized by the weighted dualizing sheaves. It also solved a questi…

We apply the geometric quantization method with real polarizations to the quantization of a symplectic torus. By quantizing with half-densities we canonically associate to the symplectic torus a projective Hilbert space and prove that the projective factor is expressible in terms of the Maslov-Kashiwara index. As in th…

Study shows convergence of cscK surfaces in Hilbert scheme.

We show that using the family of adapted Kähler polarizations of the phase space of a compact, simply connected, Riemannian symmetric space of rank-1, the obtained field $H^{corr}$ of quantum Hilbert spaces produced by geometric quantization including the half-form correction is flat if $M$ is the 3-dimensional sphere …

We show that the Einstein-Hilbert functional, as a functional on the space of Reeb vector fields, detects the vanishing Sasaki-Futaki invariant. In particular, this provides an obstruction to the existence of a constant scalar curvature Sasakian metric. As an application we prove that K-semistable polarized Sasaki mani…

The paper defines a category of Lagrangian correspondences in super Hilbert spaces and constructs a functorial field theory.

We develop a new approach to geometric quantization using the theory of convergence of metric measure spaces. Given a family of Kähler polarizations converging to a non-singular real polarization on a prequantized symplectic manifold, we show the spectral convergence result of $\bar{\partial}$-Laplacians, as well as th…

Operads help quantify polygon spaces, proving dimensions equal.

The paper studies the topological properties of convex sets and their polar mappings.

We study a problem of the geometric quantization for the quaternion projective space. First we explain a Kaehler structure on the punctured cotangent bundle of the quaternion projective space, whose Kaehler form coincides with the natural symplectic form on the cotangent bundle and show that the canonical line bundle o…

Unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry.

Graph continuous operators become Riesz continuous after multiplication by unitary operators.

Let X be a strictly pseudoconcave domain in a closed polarized complex manifold (Y,L) where L is a (semi-)positive line bundle over Y. Any given Hermitian metric on L, together with a volume form, induces by restriction to X a Hilbert space structure on the space of global holomorphic sections on Y with values in the k…

Geometrically studies Moore-Penrose inverse and polar decomposition continuity.

The phase space of a compact, irreducible, simply connected, Riemannian symmetric space admits a natural family of Kähler polarizations parametrized by the upper half plane $S$. Using this family, geometric quantization, including the half-form correction, produces the field $H^{corr}\rightarrow S$ of quantum Hilbert s…

Given a polarized manifold there are obstructions for asymptotic Chow semistability described as integral invariants. One of them is an obstruction to the existence for the first Chern class of the polarization to admit a constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metric. A natural question is whether or not the other obs…

Adler had shown in 1979 that the Toda system can be given a coad- joint orbit description. We quantize the Toda system by viewing it as a single orbit of a multiplicative group of lower triangular matrices of determinant one with pos- itive diagonal entries. We get a unitary representation of the group with square inte…

The paper studies Einstein-Hilbert functional and its relation to K-semistability.

Study polar actions on Damek-Ricci spaces, proving existence and finding examples.

In this paper, we study the analytic continuation to complex time of the Hamiltonian flow of certain $G\times T$-invariant functions on the cotangent bundle of a compact connected Lie group $G$ with maximal torus $T$. Namely, we will take the Hamiltonian flows of one $G\times G$-invariant function, $h$, and one $G\time…

Classifies polar foliations on symmetric spaces.

The holomorphic invariants introduced by Futaki as obstruction to the asymptotic Chow semistability are studied by an algebraic-geometric point of view and are shown to be the Mumford weights of suitable line bundles on the Hilbert scheme. These invariants are calculated in two special cases. The first is a projective …

Classifies polar actions on 3D homogeneous spaces.

Classifies foliations on specific symmetric spaces.

We show that simply connected Riemannian homogeneous spaces of compact semisimple Lie groups with polar isotropy actions are symmetric, generalizing results of Fabio Podesta and the third named author. Without assuming compactness, we give a classification of Riemannian homogeneous spaces of semisimple Lie groups whose…

The paper is centered around a new proof of the infinitesimal rigidity of smooth closed surfaces with everywhere positive Gauss curvature. We use a reformulation that replaces deformation of an embedding by deformation of the metric inside the body bounded by the surface. The proof is obtained by studying derivatives o…

We give a Riemannian structure to the set $Σ$ of positive invertible unitized Hilbert-Schmidt operators, by means of the trace inner product. This metric makes of $Σ$ a nonpositively curved, simply connected and metrically complete Hilbert manifold. The manifold $Σ$ is a universal model for symmetric spaces of the nonc…

We prove that a polar foliation of codimension at least three in an irreducible compact symmetric space is hyperpolar, unless the symmetric space has rank one. For reducible symmetric spaces of compact type, we derive decomposition results for polar foliations.

We analyze polar actions on Hermitian and quaternion-Kähler symmetric spaces of compact type. For complex integrable polar actions on Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type we prove a reduction theorem and several corollaries concerning the geometry of these actions. The results are independent of the classificatio…

The paper introduces polarizations in symplectic and orthogonal settings.

We classify infinitesimally polar actions on compact Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank one. We also prove that every polar action on one of those spaces has the same orbits as an asystatic action.

We prove a criterion for an isometric action of a Lie group on a Riemannian manifold to be polar. From this criterion, it follows that an action with a fixed point is polar if and only if the slice representation at the fixed point is polar and the section is the tangent space of an embedded totally geodesic submanifol…

Let X be a Fano manifold. G.Tian proves that if X admits a Kaehler-Einstein metric, then it satisfies two different stability conditions: one involving the Futaki invariant of a special degeneration of X, the other Hilbert-Mumford-stability of X w.r.t. a certain polarization. He conjectures that each of these condition…

Let $U_2({\cal H})$ be the Banach-Lie group of unitary operators in the Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ which are Hilbert-Schmidt perturbations of the identity 1. In this paper we study the geometry of the unitary orbit $\{upu^*: u\in U_2({\cal H})\},$ of an infinite projection $p$ in ${\cal H}$. This orbit coincides with t…

We classify polar actions on complex hyperbolic spaces up to orbit equivalence.

The generic fiber of a Lagrangian fibration on an irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold is an abelian variety. Associate a polarization type to such Lagrangian fibrations coming from polarizations on a generic fiber. We prove that this polarization type is constant in families of Lagrangian fibrations. Further, w…

The paper defines generalized s-manifolds and explores their polars and antipodal sets.

Study explores quantum spaces on toric varieties and their limiting behavior.

We show that polar actions of cohomogeneity two on simple compact Lie groups of higher rank, endowed with a biinvariant Riemannian metric, are hyperpolar. Combining this with a recent result of the second-named author, we are able to prove that polar actions induced by reductive algebraic subgroups in the isometry grou…

We study isometric actions on Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type which are induced by reductive algebraic subgroups of the isometry group. We show that for such an action there exists a corresponding isometric action on a dual compact symmetric space, which reflects many properties of the original action. F…

We obtain the full classification of coisotropic and polar actions of compact Lie group on irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces.

We study the dependence of geometric quantization of the standard symplectic torus on the choice of invariant polarization. Real and mixed polarizations are interpreted as degenerate complex structures. Using a weak version of the equations of covariant constancy, and the Weil-Brezin expansion to describe distributiona…

We develop two types of integral formulas for the perimeter of a convex body K in planar geometries. We derive Cauchy-type formulas for perimeter in planar Hilbert geometries. Specializing to H^2 we get a formula that appears to be new. We show that it implies the standard Cauchy-Santalo formula involving a central ang…

The paper studies how Kähler polarizations degenerate to mixed polarizations on toric varieties.
