From the conformal anomaly to the Virasoro algebra

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The conformal anomaly and the Virasoro algebra are fundamental aspects of two‐dimensional conformal field theory and conformally covariant models in planar random geometry. In this article, we explicitly derive the Virasoro algebra from an axiomatization of the conformal anomaly in terms of real determinant lines, one‐dimensional vector spaces

Lagrangian approximation of totally real concordances

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract We show that a two‐dimensional totally real concordance can be approximated by a Lagrangian concordance whose Legendrian boundary has been stabilised both positively and negatively sufficiently many times. The main applications that we provide are constructions of knotted Lagrangian concordances in arbitrary four‐dimensional symplectisations ...

Geometry of discrete-time spin systems

open access: yes, 2015
Classical Hamiltonian spin systems are continuous dynamical systems on the symplectic phase space $(S^2)^n$. In this paper we investigate the underlying geometry of a time discretization scheme for classical Hamiltonian spin systems called the spherical ...

Monolithic and Staggered Solution Strategies for Constrained Mechanical Systems in Optimal Control Problems

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 6, 30 March 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper deals with the optimal control of constrained mechanical systems, with potential additional kinematic constraints at the final time. Correspondingly, the equations of motion of the underlying mechanical system assume the form of differential‐algebraic equations with end constraints.

Branched holomorphic Cartan geometry on Sasakian manifolds [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
We extend the notion of (branched) holomorphic Cartan geometry on a complex manifold to the context of Sasakian manifolds. Branched holomorphic Cartan geometries on Sasakian Calabi-Yau manifolds are investigated.

General Geometry and Geometry of Electromagnetism [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2002
It is shown that Electromagnetism creates geometry different from Riemannian geometry. General geometry including Riemannian geometry as a special case is constructed. It is proven that the most simplest special case of General Geometry is geometry underlying Electromagnetism.

Abel Prize 2009 as a necessitation to discussion on geometry, or physicist versus geometers [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
Contemporary geometers do not acknowledge nonaxomatizable geometries. This fact means that our knowledge of geometry is poor. A perfect knowledge of geometry is important for "consumers of geometry" (physicists dealing with geometry of microcosm), because poor knowledge of geometry forces physicists to refuse from the orthodox geometrical paradigm and ...

open access: yesarXiv, 2003
In this paper, we study relations among known universal equations for Gromov-Witten invariants at genus 1 and 2.
