On deformations of multidimensional Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type

Abstract

The theory of Poisson Vertex Algebras (PVAs) is a good framework to treat Hamiltonian partial differential equations. A PVA consists of a pair $(\mathcal{A},\{\cdot_λ\cdot\})$ of a differential algebra $\mathcal{A}$ and a bilinear operation called the $λ$-bracket. We extend the definition to the class of algebras $\mathcal{A}$ endowed with $d\geq1$ commuting derivations. We call this structure a \emph{multidimensional PVA}: it is a suitable setting to study Hamiltonian PDEs with $d$ spatial dimensions. We apply this theory to the study of deformations of the Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type for $d=2$.

Canonical metrics on holomorphic fibre bundles

In this article we completely describe the existence of canonical metrics, known as optimal symplectic connections, on isotrivial Kähler fibrations. In this setting an optimal symplectic connection is induced from a Hermite--Einstein connection on the holomorphic principal bundle of relative automorphisms, and the Hitchin--Kobayashi correspondence asserts the existence of such a connection precisely when the principal bundle is polystable. Combined with results of Dervan and Sektnan this generates many new examples of cscK metrics on the total space of holomorphic fibre bundles. Our results indicate that in general the optimal symplectic connection equation should be viewed as a generalisation of the Hermite--Einstein equation to holomorphic fibrations where the complex structure of the fibres varies.

Higher Fundamental Forms and Warped Product Hypersurfaces

Warped products are one of the simplest families of Riemannian manifolds that can have non-trivial geometries. In this article, we characterize the geometry of hypersurface embeddings arising from warped product manifolds using the language of higher (Riemannian) fundamental forms. In a similar vein, we also study the geometry of conformal manifolds with embedded hypersurfaces that admits a trivialization of the conformal metric to a product metric, with base manifold given by the embedded hypersurface. We show that the higher conformal fundamental forms play a critical role in their characterization.

Pansu pullback and spectral complexes

In this paper, we prove the commutativity between the Pansu pullback of a smooth contact map between Carnot groups and the differentials appearing in the spectral complexes. As a direct application, we also present a way of "lifting" a Pansu derivative (viewed as a Lie algebra homomorphism) from Carnot groups to their central extensions.
