In this paper we study the relation between 2-plectic manifolds and Courant algebroids. We establish a relation between 2-Lagrangian submanifolds of 2-plectic manifolds and subbundles of Courant algebroids. Also we show that an action of a compact Lie group G on a 2-plectic manifold (M, ω) can be extended to an action of G on an exact Courant algebroid E over M if and only if G is a subgroup of Hamiltonian group of (M, ω).

Geometric Langlands duality relates a representation of a simple Lie group Gv to the cohomology of a certain moduli space associated with the dual group G. In this correspondence, a principal SL2 subgroup of Gv makes an unexpected appearance. This can be explained using gauge theory, as this paper will show, with the help of the equations of Nahm and Bogomolny.

AbstractAn explicit construction of a pre-quantumline bundle for themoduli space of flat G-bundles over a Riemann surface is given, where G is any non-simply connected compact simple Lie group. This work helps to explain a curious coincidence previously observed between Toledano Laredo's work classifying central extensions of loop groups LG and the author's previous work on the obstruction to pre-quantization of the moduli space of flat G-bundles.

We describe the limit surfaces of some equisymmetric $1$-complex dimensional families of Riemann surfaces in the boundary of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of moduli space. We provide a description of such nodal Riemann surfaces in terms of the group of automorphisms defining the family. We apply our method to some known examples.

Abstract We define solitons for the generalized Ricci flow on an exact Courant algebroid. We then define a family of flows for left-invariant Dorfman brackets on an exact Courant algebroid over a simply connected nilpotent Lie group, generalizing the bracket flows for nilpotent Lie brackets in a way that might make this new family of flows useful for the study of generalized geometric flows such as the generalized Ricci flow. We provide explicit examples of both constructions on the Heisenberg group. We also discuss solutions to the generalized Ricci flow on the Heisenberg group.

AbstractWe define Poisson-geometric analogues of Kitaev’s lattice models. They are obtained from a Kitaev model on an embedded graph $$\Gamma $$ Γ by replacing its Hopf algebraic data with Poisson data for a Poisson-Lie group G. Each edge is assigned a copy of the Heisenberg double $${\mathcal {H}}(G)$$ H ( G ) . Each vertex (face) of $$\Gamma $$ Γ defines a Poisson action of G (of $$G^*$$ G ∗ ) on the product of these Heisenberg doubles. The actions for a vertex and adjacent face form a Poisson action of the double Poisson-Lie group D(G). We define Poisson counterparts of vertex and face operators and relate them via the Poisson bracket to the vector fields generating the actions of D(G). We construct an isomorphism of Poisson D(G)-spaces between this Poisson-geometrical Kitaev model and Fock and Rosly’s Poisson structure for the graph $$\Gamma $$ Γ and the Poisson-Lie group D(G). This decouples the latter and represents it as a product of Heisenberg doubles. It also relates the Poisson-geometrical Kitaev model to the symplectic structure on the moduli space of flat D(G)-bundles on an oriented surface with boundary constructed from $$\Gamma $$ Γ .

Abstract We investigate the isometry groups of the left-invariant Riemannian and sub-Riemannian structures on simply connected three-dimensional Lie groups. More specifically, we determine the isometry group for each normalized structure and hence characterize for exactly which structures (and groups) the isotropy subgroup of the identity is contained in the group of automorphisms of the Lie group. It turns out (in both the Riemannian and sub-Riemannian cases) that for most structures any isometry is the composition of a left translation and a Lie group automorphism.

We describe space-time using split octonions over the reals and use their group of automorphisms, the noncompact form of Cartan’s exceptional Lie group G2, as the main geometrical group of the model. Connections of the G2-rotations of octonionic 8D space with the conformal transformations in 4D Minkowski space-time are studied. It is shown that the dimensional constant needed in these analysis naturally gives the observed value of the cosmological constant.
