Bielavsky introduced and investigated the class of symmetric symplectic spaces, that is, symmetric spaces endowed with a symplectic form invariant with respect to symmetries. Since the theory of symmetric spaces has generalizations, we ask a question about their possible symplectic versions. We do construct such genera…

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…

We study infinitesimal semi-simple extrinsic symmetric spaces and give a classification in the symplectic case.

We give an elementary construction of symplectic connections through reduction. This provides an elegant description of a class of symmetric spaces and gives examples of symplectic connections with Ricci type curvature, which are not locally symmetric; the existence of such symplectic connections was unknown.

Let $(V, \Om)$ be a symplectic vector space and let $φ: M \ra V$ be a symplectic immersion. We show that $φ(M) \subset V$ is (locally) an extrinsic symplectic symmetric space (e.s.s.s.) in the sense of \cite{CGRS} if and only if the second fundamental form of $φ$ is parallel. Furthermore, we show that any symmetric spa…

We describe the shape of the symplectic Dirac operators on Hermitian symmetric spaces. For this, we consider these operators as families of operators that can be handled more easily than the original ones.

We construct and identify star representations canonically associated with holonomy reducible simple symplectic symmetric spaces. This leads the a non-commutative geometric realization of the correspondence between causal symmetric spaces of Cayley type and Hermitian symmetric spaces of tube type.

New pseudo-Kähler Einstein spaces found with special almost complex structures.

Inspired by the work of G. Lu on pseudo symplectic capacities we obtain several results on the Gromov width and the Hofer--Zehnder capacity of Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type. Our results and proofs extend those obtained by Lu for complex Grassmannians to Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type. We also c…

We determine the isomorphism classes of symmetric symplectic manifolds of dimension at least 4 which are connected, simply-connected and have a curvature tensor which has only one non-vanishing irreducible component -- the Ricci tensor.

An Hermitian bounded symmetric domain in a complex vector space, given in its circled realization, is endowed with two natural symplectic forms: the flat form and the hyperbolic form. In a similar way, the ambient vector space is also endowed with two natural symplectic forms: the Fubini-Study form and the flat form. I…

Study of sectorial decompositions in symmetric products of surfaces for symplectic geometry.

Constructs equivariant embeddings of Hermitian symmetric spaces into tangent spaces.

We show, in this note, that on any symplectic supermanifold, even or odd, there exist an infinite dimensional affine space of symmetric connections, compatible to the symplectic form.

The BPS decomposition theorem splits cohomology of symmetric stacks into invariant parts.

In this paper we compute the minimal number of Darboux chart needed to cover a Hermitian symmetric space of compact type in terms of the degree of their embeddings in $\mathbb{C} P^N$. The proof is based on the recent work of Y. B. Rudyak and F. Schlenk [18] and on the symplectic geometry tool developed by the first au…

In this note we prove that the space of linear anti-symplectic involutions is the homogenous space $Gl(n,\R)\Sp(n)$. This result is motivated by the study of symmetric periodic orbits in the restricted 3-body problem.

We prove that the kernels of the restrictions of symplectic Dirac or symplectic Dirac-Dolbeault operators on natural subspaces of polynomial valued spinor fields are finite dimensional on a compact symplectic manifold. We compute those kernels for the complex projective spaces. We construct injections of subgroups of t…

We study the symplectic structure of the holomorphic coadjoint orbits, generalizing a theorem of McDuff on the symplectic structure of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type.

Geometrically connects Laplace eigenfunctions to Borel-Weil theory on symmetric spaces.

The paper explores symplectic geometry of Cartan-Hartogs domains.

This is the pdf -version of the author's Ph.D. thesis (1995, ULB, Belgium). The notion of symeplectic symmertic space is introduced and studied via Lie theoretical and symplectic geoemetrical methods. The first chapter concerns basic poperties, however, an explicit formula for the Loos connection in the symplectic fram…

We present some basic results on a natural Poisson structure on any compact symmetric space. The symplectic leaves of this structure are related to the orbits of the corresponding real semisimple group on the complex flag manifold.

After reviewing recent results on symplectic Lefschetz pencils and symplectic branched covers of CP^2, we describe a new construction of maps from symplectic manifolds of any dimension to CP^2 and the associated monodromy invariants. We also show that a dimensional induction process makes it possible to describe any co…

Generalizes kinematical Lie algebras for isotropic spacetimes.

We consider moduli spaces of cyclic configurations of $N$ lines in a $2n$-dimensional symplectic vector space, such that every set of $n$ consecutive lines generates a Lagrangian subspace. We study geometric and combinatorial problems related to these moduli spaces, and prove that they are isomorphic to quotients of sp…

We revisit the non-rotating massive BTZ black hole within a pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space context. Using classical symmetric space techniques we find that every such space intrinsically carries a regular Poisson structure whose symplectic leaves are para-hermitian symmetric surfaces. We also obtain a global express…

This thesis studies the symplectic structure of holomorphic coadjoint orbits, and their projections. A holomorphic coadjoint orbit O is an elliptic coadjoint orbit which is endowed with a natural invariant Kählerian structure. These coadjoint orbits are defined for a real semi-simple connected non-compact Lie group G w…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a pre-symplectic algebroid, and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between pre-symplectic algebroids and symplectic Lie algebroids. This result is the geometric generalization of the relation between left-symmetric algebras and symplectic (Frobenius) Lie algebras. A…

Study curvature and symplectic properties of symmetric products of surfaces.

For a system of second order differential equations we determine a nonlinear connection that is compatible with a given generalized Lagrange metric. Using this nonlinear connection, we can find the whole family of metric nonlinear connections that can be associated with a system of SODE and a generalized Lagrange struc…

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…

The paper explores symplectic connections on homogeneous spaces, finding a unique invariant connection.

Let $M$ be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type, and let $ω$ be its Kähler form. For a triplet $(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ of points in $M$ we study conditions under which a geodesic triangle $\mathcal T(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ with vertices $p_1,p_2,p_3$ can be unambiguously defined. We consider the integral $A(p_1,p_2,…

We prove that the universal covering of a complete locally symmetric normal metric contact pair manifold is a Calabi-Eckmann manifold. Moreover we show that a complete, simply connected, normal metric contact pair manifold such that the foliation induced by the vertical subbundle is regular and reflections in the integ…

With the aid of the theory of Jordan triple systems, we construct an explicit bi-symplectomorphism between a Hermitian symmetric space of non-compact type and $\C^n$ equipped with both the flat Kaehler-form and the Fubini-Study form. Our symplectomorphism is an explicit version of the symplectomorphism between Kaehler …

This work is a contribution to the area of Strict Quantization (in the sense of Rieffel) in the presence of curvature and non-Abelian group actions. More precisely, we use geometry to obtain explicit oscillatory integral formulae for strongly invariant strict deformation quantizations of a class of solvable symplectic …

New symplectic groups defined for Lie subgroups of algebras.

Using tools from Dirac geometry and through an explicit construction, we show that every Poisson homogeneous space of any Poisson Lie group admits an integration to a symplectic groupoid. Our theorem follows from a more general result which relates, for a principal bundle $M\to M/H$, integrations of a Dirac structure o…

Study various submanifolds in quaternionic skew-Hermitian spaces.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a left-symmetric bialgebroid as a geometric generalization of a left-symmetric bialgebra and construct a left-symmetric bialgebroid from a pseudo-Hessian manifold. We also introduce the notion of a Manin triple for left-symmetric algebroids, which is equivalent to a left-symmet…

The paper studies a new connection on Riemannian manifolds and finds conditions for symplectic manifolds.

This article is an overview of the results obtained in recent years on symplectic connections. We present what is known about preferred connections (critical points of a variational principle). The class of Ricci-type connections (for which the curvature is entirely determined by the Ricci tensor) is described in detai…

We construct in projective differential geometry of the real dimension $2$ higher symmetry algebra of the symplectic Dirac operator ${D}\kern-0.5em\raise0.22ex\hbox{/}_s$ acting on symplectic spinors. The higher symmetry differential operators correspond to the solution space of a class of projectively invariant overde…
