We discuss the automatic creation and adaptive refinement of an unstructured mesh within a complex geometry such as the space surrounding an airplane. This may be formulated as two distinct parts; a non-parallel part requiring global knowledge which automatically creates a coarse compatible mesh, and a parallel local refinement algorithm, which refines the mesh until simulation can begin, then ...

We consider a complex Hermitian manifold of complex dimensions four with a Hermitian metric and a Chern connection. It is shown that the action that determines the dynamics of the metric is unique, provided that the linearized Einstein action coupled to an antisymmetric tensor is obtained, in the limit when the imaginary coordinates vanish. The unique action is of the Chern-Simons type when exp...

Abstract We prove that the heavy symmetric top (Lagrange, 1788) linearizes on a two–dimensional non– compact algebraic group – the generalized Jacobian of an elliptic curve with two points identified. This leads to a transparent description of its complex and real invariant level sets. We deduce, by making use of a Baker–Akhiezer function, simple explicit formulae for the general solution of th...

We give a distance estimate for the metric on the disk complex and show that it is Gromov hyperbolic. As another application of our techniques, we find an algorithm which computes the Hempel distance of a Heegaard splitting, up to an error depending only on the genus.

In this talk I review the well known relation existing between extended supersymmetry and complex geometry in the non-linear sigma-models, and then briefly discuss some recent developments related to the introduction of the nonanti-commutativity in the context of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models formulated in extended superspace. This contribution is suitable for both physicists and m...

Complex geometry and symplectic geometry are mirrors in string theory. The recently developed generalised complex geometry interpolates between the two of them. On the other hand, the classical and quantum mechanics of a finite number of degrees of freedom are respectively described by a symplectic structure and a complex structure on classical phase space. In this letter we analyse the role pl...

We find the explicit T-duality transformation in the phase space formulation of the N = (1, 1) sigma model. We also show that the T-duality transformation is a symplectomorphism and it is an element of O(d, d). Further, we find the explicit T-duality transformation of a generalized complex structure. We also show that the extended supersymmetry of the sigma model is preserved under the T-duality.

Let Z = G/Q be a complex flag manifold and let Go be a real form of G. Then the representation theory of the real reductive Lie group Go is intimately connected with the geometry of Go-orbits on Z. The open orbits correspond to the discrete series representations and their analytic continuations, closed orbits correspond to the principal series, and certain other orbits give the other series of...

In this paper we continue the study of the complex Beil metrics, in complex Finsler geometry, [18]. Primarily, we determine the main geometric objects corresponding to these metrics, e.g. the Chern-Finsler complex non-linear connection, the Chern-Finsler complex linear connection and the holomorphic curvature. We focus our study on the cases when a complex Finsler space, endowed with a complex ...
