Surfaces isotropes de $\mathbb{O}$ et systèmes intégrables

Abstract

We define a notion of isotropic surfaces in $\mathbb{O}$, i.e. on which some canonical symplectic forms vanish. Using the cross-product in $\mathbb{O}$ we define a map $ρ\colon Gr\_2(\mathbb{O})\to S^6$ from the Grassmannian of $\mathbb{O}$ to $S^6$. This allows us to associate to each surface $Σ$ of $\mathbb{O}$ a function $ρ\_Σ\colon Σ\to S^6$. Then we show that the isotropic surfaces in $\mathbb{O}$ such that $ρ\_Σ$ is harmonic are solutions of a completely integrable system. Using loop groups we construct a Weierstrass type representation of these surfaces. By restriction to $ \mathbb{H}\subset\mathbb{O}$ we obtain as a particular case the Hamiltonian Stationary Lagrangian surfaces of $\mathbb{R}^4$, and by restriction to $\text{Im}(\mathbb{H})$ we obtain the CMC surfaces of $\mathbb{R}^3$.

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.
