Geometric quantization shows compatibility of symmetries on coadjoint orbits and Kähler-Einstein manifolds.

We discuss various compatibility criteria for overdetermined systems of PDEs generalizing the approach to formal integrability via brackets of differential operators. Then we give sufficient conditions that guarantee that a PDE possessing a Lie algebra of symmetries has invariant solutions with respect to this Lie alge…

New optimizer designs respect symmetry, improving deep learning models.

Generalized Lagrange-Weyl structures and compatible connections are introduced as a natural generalization of similar notions from Riemannian geometry. Exactly as in Riemannian case, the compatible connection is unique if certain symmetry conditions with respect to vertical and horizontal Christoffel symbols are impose…

The existence of invariant generators for distributions satisfying a compatibility condition with the symmetry algebra is proved.

We study non-degenerate CR geometries of hypersurface type that are symmetric in the sense that, at each point, there is a CR transformation reversing the CR distribution at that point. We show that such geometries are either flat or homogeneous. We show that non-flat non-degenerate symmetric CR geometries of hypersurf…

Researchers develop Orlov-Schulman symmetries for self-dual conformal structures.

We consider the classical "Serrin symmetry result" for the overdetermined boundary value problem related to the equation $Δu=-1$ in a model manifold of non-negative Ricci curvature. Using an extension of the Weinberger classical argument we prove a Euclidean symmetry result under a suitable "compatibility" assumption b…

The paper characterizes compatible linear connections on 3D Finsler manifolds.

Foams have Lie algebra symmetries that simplify web state spaces.

A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie algebroid structure. The curvature of this connection vanishes precisely when the struc…

Researchers create compatibility complexes for Einstein metrics.

Probabilistic models often have parameters that can be translated, scaled, permuted, or otherwise transformed without changing the model. These symmetries can lead to strong correlation and multimodality in the posterior distribution over the model's parameters, which can pose challenges both for performing inference a…

Study local control in a 7D quaternionic Heisenberg group.

We define and study complex structures and generalizations on spaces consisting of geodesics or harmonic maps that are compatible with the symmetries of these spaces. The main results are about existence and uniqueness of such structures.

Extends method for solving certain hydrodynamic systems.

The paper classifies quantizable functions and explores symmetry in quantization methods.

Many methods for reducing and simplifying differential equations are known. They provide various generalizations of the original symmetry approach of Sophus Lie. Plenty of relations between them have been noticed and in this note a unifying approach will be discussed. It is rather close to the classical differential co…

New neural network architecture for auction design exploiting permutation symmetry.

Reformulates elasticity complex with new differential and Hodge star operators.

Complex manifolds with compatible metric have a naturally defined subspace of harmonic differential forms that satisfy Serre, Hodge, and conjugation duality, as well as hard Lefschetz duality. This last property follows from a representation of $sl(2,\mathbb{C})$, generalizing the well known structure on the harmonic f…

The metric algebroid proposed by Vaisman (the Vaisman algebroid) governs the gauge symmetry algebra generated by the C-bracket in double field theory (DFT). We show that the Vaisman algebroid is obtained by an analogue of the Drinfel'd double of Lie algebroids. Based on a geometric realization of doubled space-time as …

Inspired by the work of Gross on topological Mirror Symmetry we construct candidate Lagrangian torus fibration models for the 105 families of smooth Fano threefolds. We prove, in the case the second Betti number is one, that the total space of each fibration is homeomorphic to the expected Fano threefold, and show that…

Study reflection symmetry and APS boundary conditions on a warped cylinder.

This is a survey of our program of perturbative quantization of gauge theories on manifolds with boundary compatible with cutting/pasting and with gauge symmetry treated by means of a cohomological resolution (Batalin-Vilkovisky) formalism. We also give two explicit quantum examples -- abelian BF theory and the Poisson…

Given a Poisson structure (or, equivalently, a Hamiltonian operator) $P$, we show that its Lie derivative $L_τ(P)$ along a vector field $τ$ defines another Poisson structure, which is automatically compatible with $P$, if and only if $[L_τ^2(P),P]=0$, where $[\cdot,\cdot]$ is the Schouten bracket. We further prove that…

New extremal Kähler metrics found on 4-manifolds with U(2) symmetry.

The homotopy theory of topological defects in ordered media fails to completely characterize systems with broken translational symmetry. We argue that the problem can be understood in terms of the lack of rotational Goldstone modes in such systems and provide an alternate approach that correctly accounts for the intera…

We obtain explicitly all solutions of the SU(infinity) Toda field equation with the property that the associated Einstein-Weyl space admits a 2-sphere of divergence-free shear-free geodesic congruences. The solutions depend on an arbitrary holomorphic function and give rise to new hyperKahler and selfdual Einstein metr…

Binary operations on algebras of observables are studied in the quantum as well as in the classical case. It is shown that certain natural compatibility conditions with the associative product imply the properties which usually are additionally required. In particular, it is proved that locality of a Loday bracket on s…

Paper constructs solutions to WDVV equations for Frobenius manifolds.

Weyl derivatives, Weyl-Lie derivatives and conformal submersions are defined, then used to generalize the Jones-Tod correspondence between selfdual 4-manifolds with symmetry and Einstein-Weyl 3-manifolds with an abelian monopole. In this generalization, the conformal symmetry is replaced by a particular kind of conform…

New method extends invariant reduction to rescaled geometric structures.

We construct new classes of exact solutions in metric--affine gravity (MAG) with string corrections by the antisymmetric $H$--field. The solutions are parametrized by generic off--diagonal metrics possessing noncommutative symmetry associated to anholonomy framerelations and related nonlinear connection (N--connection)…

Let $M$ be a symplectic symmetric space, and let $\imath : M \to V$ be an extrinsic symplectic symmetric immersion, i.e., $(V, Ω)$ is a symplectic vector space and $\imath$ is an injective symplectic immersion such that for each point $p \in M$, the geodesic symmetry in $p$ is compatible with the reflection in the affi…

This paper simplifies complex nonholonomic systems using momentum map reduction.

We devise an algorithm which allows one to count the number of Killing vectors for a Lorentzian manifold of dimension 3. Our algorithm relies on the principal traces of powers of the Ricci tensor and branches intricately according to the values of differential invariants arising from the compatibility conditions of the…

The paper introduces polarizations in symplectic and orthogonal settings.

We discuss a recently proposed variational principle for deriving the variational equations associated to any Lagrangian system. The principle gives simultaneously the Lagrange and the variational equations of the system. We define a new Lagrangian in an extended configuration space ---which we call D'Alambert's--- com…

In this note, we analyze the question of when will a complex nilmanifold have Kähler-like Strominger (also known as Bismut), Chern, or Riemannian connection, in the sense that the curvature of the connection obeys all the symmetries of that of a Kähler metric. We give a classification in the first two cases and a parti…
