چکیده
We introduce linear holonomy on Poisson manifolds. The linear holonomy of a Poisson structure generalizes the linearized holonomy on a regular symplectic foliation. However, for singular Poisson structures the linear holonomy is defined for the lifts of tangential path to the cotangent bundle (cotangent paths). The linear holonomy is closely related to the modular class studied by A. Weinstein. Namely, the logarithm of the determinant of the linear holonomy is equal to the integral of the modular vector field along such a lift. This assertion relies on the notion of the integral of a vector field along a cotangent path on a Poisson manifold, which is also introduced in the paper. In the second part of the paper we prove that for locally unimodular Poisson manifolds the modular class is an invariant of Morita equivalence.

Using the concept of s-formality we are able to extend the bounds of a Theorem of Miller and show that a compact k-connected 4k + 3or 4k + 4-manifold with bk+1 = 1 is formal. We study simply-connected 7and 8-manifolds with a hard Lefschetz-like property and prove that in this case if b2 = 2, then the manifold is formal, while, in 7-dimensions, if b2 = 3 all Massey products vanish. We finish wit...

We give a spinorial set of Hamiltonian variables for General Relativity in any dimension greater than 2. This approach involves a study of the algebraic properties of spinors in higher dimension, and of the elimination of second-class constraints from the Hamiltonian theory. In four dimensions, when restricted to the positive spin-bundle, these variables reduce to the standard Ashtekar variable...

We generalize the theorems in Mirror Principle I and II to the case of general projective manifolds without the convexity assumption. We also apply the results to balloon manifolds, and generalize to higher genus.
متن کاملConnections in Poisson Geometry I: Holonomy and Invariants
We discuss contravariant connections on Poisson manifolds. For vector bundles, the corresponding operational notion of a contravariant derivative had been introduced by I. Vaisman. We show that these connections play an important role in the study of global properties of Poisson manifolds and we use them to define Poisson holonomy and new invariants of Poisson manifolds.
متن کاملPoisson manifolds, Lie algebroids, modular classes: a survey
After a brief summary of the main properties of Poisson manifolds and Lie algebroids in general, we survey recent work on the modular classes of Poisson and twisted Poisson manifolds, of Lie algebroids with a Poisson or twisted Poisson structure, and of Poisson–Nijenhuis manifolds. A review of the spinor approach to the modular class concludes the paper.
