Subspaces of a para-quaternionic Hermitian vector space
Let be a para-quaternionic Hermitian structure on the real
vector space . By referring to the tensorial presentation , we
give an explicit description, from an affine and metric point of view, of main
classes of subspaces of which are invariantly defined with respect to the
structure group of and respectively
Special complex manifolds
We introduce the notion of a special complex manifold: a complex manifold
(M,J) with a flat torsionfree connection \nabla such that (\nabla J) is
symmetric. A special symplectic manifold is then defined as a special complex
manifold together with a \nabla-parallel symplectic form \omega . This
generalises Freed's definition of (affine) special K\"ahler manifolds. We also
define projective versions of all these geometries. Our main result is an
extrinsic realisation of all simply connected (affine or projective) special
complex, symplectic and K\"ahler manifolds. We prove that the above three types
of special geometry are completely solvable, in the sense that they are locally
defined by free holomorphic data. In fact, any special complex manifold is
locally realised as the image of a holomorphic 1-form \alpha : C^n \to T^* C^n.
Such a realisation induces a canonical \nabla-parallel symplectic structure on
M and any special symplectic manifold is locally obtained this way. Special
K\"ahler manifolds are realised as complex Lagrangian submanifolds and
correspond to closed forms \alpha. Finally, we discuss the natural geometric
structures on the cotangent bundle of a special symplectic manifold, which
generalise the hyper-K\"ahler structure on the cotangent bundle of a special
K\"ahler manifold.Comment: 24 pages, latex, section 3 revised (v2), modified Abstract and

Commutation Relations for Unitary Operators
Let be a unitary operator defined on some infinite-dimensional complex
Hilbert space . Under some suitable regularity assumptions, it is
known that a local positive commutation relation between and an auxiliary
self-adjoint operator defined on allows to prove that the
spectrum of has no singular continuous spectrum and a finite point
spectrum, at least locally. We show that these conclusions still hold under
weak regularity hypotheses and without any gap condition. As an application, we
study the spectral properties of the Floquet operator associated to some
perturbations of the quantum harmonic oscillator under resonant AC-Stark
potential
Commutation Relations for Unitary Operators III
Let be a unitary operator defined on some infinite-dimensional complex
Hilbert space . Under some suitable regularity assumptions, it is
known that a local positive commutation relation between and an auxiliary
self-adjoint operator defined on allows to prove that the
spectrum of has no singular continuous spectrum and a finite point
spectrum, at least locally. We prove that under stronger regularity hypotheses,
the local regularity properties of the spectral measure of are improved,
leading to a better control of the decay of the correlation functions. As shown
in the applications, these results may be applied to the study of periodic
time-dependent quantum systems, classical dynamical systems and spectral
problems related to the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle
