چکیده
We define integrable, big-isotropic structures on a manifold M as subbundles E ⊆ T M ⊕ T * M that are isotropic with respect to the natural, neutral metric (pairing) g of T M ⊕ T * M and are closed by Courant brackets (this also implies that [E, E ⊥g ] ⊆ E ⊥g). We give the interpretation of such a structure by objects of M , we discuss the local geometry of the structure and we give a reduction theorem.

Isotropic Subbundles of T M ⊕ T * M
We define integrable, big-isotropic structures on a manifold M as subbundles E ⊆ T M ⊕ T * M that are isotropic with respect to the natural, neutral metric g of T M ⊕ T * M , closed by Courant brackets and such that, if E ′ is the g-orthogonal bundle, the Courant brackets [X , Y], X ∈ ΓE, Y ∈ ΓE ′ , belong to ΓE ′. We give the interpretation of such a structure by objects of M , we discuss the ...
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes and Quadric Bundles
In this paper we construct Stiefel-Whitney and Euler classes in Chow cohomology for algebraic vector bundles with nondegenerate quadratic form. These classes are not in the algebra generated by the Chern classes of such bundles and are new characteristic classes in algebraic geometry. On complex varieties, they correspond to classes with the same name pulled back from the cohomology of the clas...
متن کاملReduction of Dirac structures along isotropic subbundles
Given a Dirac subbundle and an isotropic subbundle, we provide a canonical method to obtain a new Dirac subbundle. When the original Dirac subbundle is Courant involutive this construction has interesting applications, unifying and generalizing some results on the reduction of Dirac structures previously found in the literature.
متن کاملHarmonic Morphisms from Even-dimensional Hyperbolic Spaces
In this paper we give a method for constructing complex valued harmonic morphisms in some pseudo-Riemannian manifolds using a parametrization of isotropic subbundles of the complexified tangent bundle. As a result we construct the first known examples of complex valued harmonic morphisms in real hyperbolic spaces of even dimension not equal to 4 which do not have totally geodesic fibres.
