    Tangent and normal bundles in almost complex geometry

    Get PDF
    In this paper we define and study pseudoholomorphic vector bundles structures, particular cases of which are tangent and normal bundle almost complex structures. These are intrinsically related to the Gromov D-operator. As an application we deduce normal forms of 1-jets of almost complex structures along a submanifold. In dimension four we relate these normal forms to the problem of pseudoholomorphic foliation of a neighborhood of a curve and the question of non-deformation and persistence of pseudoholomorphic curves.Comment: 25 pages; More detailed relations between normal bundles structures are added. Links with other works on the topic - mostly almost complex bundles structures - are developpe

    Deformation of big pseudoholomorphic disks and application to the Hanh pseudonorm

    Get PDF
    We simplify proof of the theorem that close to any pseudoholomorphic disk there passes a pseudoholomorphic disk of arbitrary close size with any pre-described sufficiently close direction. We apply these results to the Kobayashi and Hanh pseudodistances. It is shown they coincide in dimensions higher than four. The result is new even in the complex case.Comment: 5 page

    Dispersionless integrable hierarchies and GL(2,R) geometry

    Get PDF
    Paraconformal or GL(2)GL(2) geometry on an nn-dimensional manifold MM is defined by a field of rational normal curves of degree n−1n-1 in the projectivised cotangent bundle PT∗M\mathbb{P} T^*M. Such geometry is known to arise on solution spaces of ODEs with vanishing W\"unschmann (Doubrov-Wilczynski) invariants. In this paper we discuss yet another natural source of GL(2)GL(2) structures, namely dispersionless integrable hierarchies of PDEs (for instance the dKP hierarchy). In the latter context, GL(2)GL(2) structures coincide with the characteristic variety (principal symbol) of the hierarchy. Dispersionless hierarchies provide explicit examples of various particularly interesting classes of GL(2)GL(2) structures studied in the literature. Thus, we obtain torsion-free GL(2)GL(2) structures of Bryant that appeared in the context of exotic holonomy in dimension four, as well as totally geodesic GL(2)GL(2) structures of Krynski. The latter, also known as involutive GL(2)GL(2) structures, possess a compatible affine connection (with torsion) and a two-parameter family of totally geodesic α\alpha-manifolds (coming from the dispersionless Lax equations), which makes them a natural generalisation of the Einstein-Weyl geometry. Our main result states that involutive GL(2)GL(2) structures are governed by a dispersionless integrable system. This establishes integrability of the system of W\"unschmann conditions.Comment: This version is further elaborated by providing some more details (especially about relation of compatibility operators to free resolutions). The results are the same but they are slightly rearranged. All Maple programs used in symbolic computations can be accessed as ancillary files in version arXiv:1607.01966v

    Invariants of pseudogroup actions: Homological methods and Finiteness theorem

    Get PDF
    We study the equivalence problem of submanifolds with respect to a transitive pseudogroup action. The corresponding differential invariants are determined via formal theory and lead to the notions of k-variants and k-covariants, even in the case of non-integrable pseudogroup. Their calculation is based on the cohomological machinery: We introduce a complex for covariants, define their cohomology and prove the finiteness theorem. This implies the well-known Lie-Tresse theorem about differential invariants. We also generalize this theorem to the case of pseudogroup action on differential equations.Comment: v2: some remarks and references addee

    Dispersionless integrable systems in 3D and Einstein-Weyl geometry

    Get PDF
    For several classes of second order dispersionless PDEs, we show that the symbols of their formal linearizations define conformal structures which must be Einstein- Weyl in 3D (or self-dual in 4D) if and only if the PDE is integrable by the method of hydrodynamic reductions. This demonstrates that the integrability of these dispersionless PDEs can be seen from the geometry of their formal linearizations

    SDiff(2) and uniqueness of the Pleba\'{n}ski equation

    Full text link
    The group of area preserving diffeomorphisms showed importance in the problems of self-dual gravity and integrability theory. We discuss how representations of this infinite-dimensional Lie group can arise in mathematical physics from pure local considerations. Then using Lie algebra extensions and cohomology we derive the second Pleba\'{n}ski equation and its geometry. We do not use K\"ahler or other additional structures but obtain the equation solely from the geometry of area preserving transformations group. We conclude that the Pleba\'{n}ski equation is Lie remarkable

    Regulatory Dynamics on Random Networks: Asymptotic Periodicity and Modularity

    Full text link
    We study the dynamics of discrete-time regulatory networks on random digraphs. For this we define ensembles of deterministic orbits of random regulatory networks, and introduce some statistical indicators related to the long-term dynamics of the system. We prove that, in a random regulatory network, initial conditions converge almost surely to a periodic attractor. We study the subnetworks, which we call modules, where the periodic asymptotic oscillations are concentrated. We proof that those modules are dynamically equivalent to independent regulatory networks.Comment: 23 pages, 3 figure

    On integrability in Grassmann geometries: integrable systems associated with fourfolds in Gr(3, 5)

    Get PDF
    Let Gr(d; n) be the Grassmannian of d-dimensional linear subspaces of an n-dimensional vector space V n. A submanifold X Gr(d; n) gives rise to a differential system ⊂(X) that governs d-dimensional submanifolds of V n whose Gaussian image is contained in X. Systems of the form Σ(X) appear in numerous applications in continuum mechanics, theory of integrable systems, general relativity and differential geometry. They include such wellknown examples as the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, the Boyer-Finley equation, Plebansky's heavenly equations, and so on. In this paper we concentrate on the particularly interesting case of this construction where X is a fourfold in Gr(3; 5). Our main goal is to investigate differential-geometric and integrability aspects of the corresponding systems Σ(X). We demonstrate the equivalence of several approaches to dispersionless integrability such as • the method of hydrodynamic reductions, • the method of dispersionless Lax pairs, • integrability on solutions, based on the requirement that the characteristic variety of system Σ(X) defines an Einstein-Weyl geometry on every solution, • integrability on equation, meaning integrability (in twistor-theoretic sense) of the canonical GL(2;R) structure induced on a fourfold X ⊂ Gr(3; 5). All these seemingly different approaches lead to one and the same class of integrable systems Σ(X). We prove that the moduli space of such systems is 6-dimensional. We give a complete description of linearisable systems (the corresponding fourfold X is a linear section of Gr(3; 5)) and linearly degenerate systems (the corresponding fourfold X is the image of a quadratic map P4 99K Gr(3; 5)). The fourfolds corresponding to `generic' integrable systems are not algebraic, and can be parametrised by generalised hypergeometric functions
