Abstract

Some years ago Moshé Flato pointed up that it could be interesting to develop the Nambu's idea to generalize Hamiltonian mechanic. An interesting new formalism in that direction was proposed by T. Takhtajan. His theory gave new perspectives concerning deformation quantization, and many authors have developed its mathematical features. The purpose of this paper is to show that this theory, at first designated to physic, gives a new point of view for the study of singularities of integrable 1-forms. Namely, we will prove that any integrable 1-form which vanishes at a point and has a non-zero linear part at this point is, up to multiplication by a non-vanishing function, the formal pull-back of a two dimensional 1-form. We also obtain a classification of quadratic integrable 1-forms.

Futaki invariant on Hopf manifolds

The Futaki invariant is a fundamental tool in Kähler geometry representing an obstruction to the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics. Recently, it was generalized to compact complex manifolds. In this paper, we prove that it vanishes on Hopf manifolds.

Remarks on potential functions of noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds

In this article, we study the set of potential functions on noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds. We show that the space of all positive potential functions on a three-dimensional noncompact quasi-Einstein manifold has dimension at most two, and that equality holds if and only if the manifold is isometric to a product $B\times\mathbb{R}$, where $B$ is a $λ$-Einstein surface or one of the examples obtained by L. Berard Bergery and described in Besse's book. Moreover, we prove that any asymptotically flat $n$-dimensional quasi-Einstein manifold with $λ=0$ is necessarily Ricci-flat.

Adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes

Higher gauge theory for non-abelian structure 2-groups faces significant challenges when extending beyond the fake-flat sector, which suffers from limited applicability in physical models. A promising resolution involves equipping 2-groups with additional structure, known as adjustments. We present a comprehensive theory of adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes, classified by Saemann's adjusted version of non-abelian differential cohomology. This theory enables, in particular, a new coordinate-independent formulation of Tellez-Dominguez' lifting theorem, establishing a correspondence between adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes and connections on abelian bundle 2-gerbes.
