Courant bracket twisted both by a 2-form B and by a bi-vector $$\theta $$

We obtain the Courant bracket twisted simultaneously by a 2-form B and a bi-vector $$\theta $$ θ by calculating the Poisson bracket algebra of the symmetry generator in the basis obtained acting with the relevant twisting matrix. It is the extension of the Courant bracket that contains well known Schouten–Nijenhuis and Koszul bracket, as well as some new star brackets. We give interpretation to the star brackets as projections on isotropic subspaces.

Some aspects of the cosmological dynamics in Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity

We study some aspects of dynamical compactification scenario where stabilization of extra dimensions occurs due to the presence of Gauss–Bonnet term and nonzero spatial curvature. In the framework of the model under consideration, there exists two-stages scenario of evolution of a Universe: in the first stage, the space evolves from a totally anisotropic state to the state with three-dimensional (corresponding to our “real” world) expanding and [Formula: see text]-dimensional contracting isotropic subspaces; on the second stage, constant curvature of extra dimensions begins to play role and provide compactification of extra dimensions. It is already known that such a scenario is realizable when constant curvature of extra dimensions is negative. Here we show that a range of coupling constants for which exponential solutions with three-dimensional expanding and [Formula: see text]-dimensional contracting isotropic subspaces are stable is located in a zone where compactification solutions with positively curved extra space are unstable, so that two-stage scenario analogous to the one described above is not realizable. Also we study “nearly-Friedmann” regime for the case of arbitrary constant curvature of extra dimensions and describe new parametrization of the general solution for the model under consideration which provide elegant way of describing areas of existence over parameters space.

Calculating the Dimension of the Universal Embedding of the Symplectic Dual Polar Space using Languages

The main result of this paper is the construction of a bijection of the set of words in so-called standard order of length $n$ formed by four different letters and the set $\mathcal{N}^n$ of all subspaces of a fixed $n$-dimensional maximal isotropic subspace of the $2n$-dimensional symplectic space $V$ over $\mathbb{F}_2$ which are not maximal in a certain sense. Since the number of different words in standard order is known, this gives an alternative proof for the formula of the dimension of the universal embedding of a symplectic dual polar space $\mathcal{G}_n$. Along the way, we give formulas for the number of all $n$- and $(n-1)$-dimensional totally isotropic subspaces of $V$.

Infinitesimal quantum group from helicity in fluid mechanics

Arnold showed that the Euler equations of an ideal fluid describe geodesics in the Lie algebra of incompressible vector fields. We will show that helicity induces a splitting of the Lie algebra into two isotropic subspaces, forming a Manin triple. Viewed another way, this shows that there is an infinitesimal quantum group (a.k.a. Lie bi-algebra) underlying classical fluid mechanics.

Total positivity for the Lagrangian Grassmannian

International audience The positroid decomposition of the Grassmannian refines the well-known Schubert decomposition, and has a rich combinatorial structure. There are a number of interesting combinatorial posets which index positroid varieties,just as Young diagrams index Schubert varieties. In addition, Postnikov’s boundary measurement map gives a family of parametrizations for each positroid variety. The domain of each parametrization is the space of edge weights of a weighted planar network. The positroid stratification of the Grassmannian provides an elementary example of Lusztig’s theory of total non negativity for partial flag varieties, and has remarkable applications to particle physics.We generalize the combinatorics of positroid varieties to the Lagrangian Grassmannian, the moduli space of maximal isotropic subspaces with respect to a symplectic form

Constructions of (r,t)-LRC Based on Totally Isotropic Subspaces in Symplectic Space Over Finite Fields

Linear code with locality [Formula: see text] and availability [Formula: see text] is that the value at each coordinate [Formula: see text] can be recovered from [Formula: see text] disjoint repairable sets each containing at most [Formula: see text] other coordinates. This property is particularly useful for codes in distributed storage systems because it permits local repair of failed nodes and parallel access of hot data. In this paper, two constructions of [Formula: see text]-locally repairable linear codes based on totally isotropic subspaces in symplectic space [Formula: see text] over finite fields [Formula: see text] are presented. Meanwhile, comparisons are made among the [Formula: see text]-locally repairable codes we construct, the direct product code in Refs. [8], [11] and the codes in Ref. [9] about the information rate [Formula: see text] and relative distance [Formula: see text].

Bounds on subspace codes based on totally isotropic subspace in symplectic spaces and extended symplectic spaces

In this paper, we propose the Sphere-packing bound, Singleton bound and Gilbert–Varshamov bound on the subspace codes [Formula: see text] based on totally isotropic subspaces in symplectic space [Formula: see text] and on the subspace codes [Formula: see text] based on totally isotropic subspace in extended symplectic space [Formula: see text].
