英文摘要：

In order to understand the structure of the cohomologies involved in the study of projectively equivariant quantizations, we introduce a notion of affine representation of a Lie algebra.We show how it is related to linear representations and 1-cohomology classes of the algebra. We classify the affine representations of the Lie algebra of vector fields of a smooth manifold associated to its action on symmetric tensor fields of type (1,2). Among them, we recover the space of symmetric affine linear connections and that of projective structures of the manifold. We compute some of the associated cohomologies.

Geometric interpretations of the symmetric product in affine differential geometry

The symmetric product of vector fields on a manifold arises when one studies the controllability of certain classes of mechanical control systems. A geometric description of the symmetric product is provided using parallel transport, along the lines of the flow interpretation of the Lie bracket. This geometric interpretation of the symmetric product is used to provide an intrinsic proof of the fact that the distributions closed under the symmetric product are exactly those distributions invariant under the geodesic flow.

Centro-Affine Invariants for Smooth Convex Bodies

Employing a centro-affine flow on smooth convex bodies, we generate new centro-affine differential invariants. One class of the newly defined invariants is the object of a sharp isoperimetric inequality, while other new inequalities on known centro-affine invariants are obtained as a byproduct of the flow's study. Furthermore, this approach led to a geometric interpretation of a new affine surface area recently introduced by Ludwig and Reitzner.

Affine Szabó connections on smooth manifolds

In this paper, we introduce a new structure, namely, affine Szabó connection. We prove that, on $2$-dimensional affine manifolds, the affine Szabó structure is equivalent to one of the cyclic parallelism of the Ricci tensor. A characterization for locally homogeneous affine Szabó surface is obtained. Examples of two- and three-dimensional affine Szabó manifolds are also given.

Is the deformation space of complete affine structures on the 2-torus smooth?

Periods of parallel exterior forms define natural coordinates on the deformation space of complete affine structures on the two-torus. These coordinates define a differentiable structure on this deformation space, under which it is diffeomorphic to $R^2$. The action of the mapping class group of $T^2$ is equivalent in these coordinates with the standard linear action of $\SL_2(Z)$ on $R^2$.

Affine Properties of Convex Equal-Area Polygons

In this paper we discuss some affine properties of convex equal-area polygons, which are convex polygons such that all triangles formed by three consecutive vertices have the same area. Besides being able to approximate closed convex smooth curves almost uniformly with respect to affine length, convex equal-area polygons admit natural definitions of the usual affine differential geometry concepts, like affine normal and affine curvature. These definitions lead to discrete analogous of the six vertices theorem and an affine isoperimetric inequality. One can also define discrete counterparts of …

Gauss-Bonnet theorems in the affine group and the group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane

In this paper, we compute sub-Riemannian limits of Gaussian curvature for a Euclidean $C^2$-smooth surface in the affine group and the group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane away from characteristic points and signed geodesic curvature for Euclidean $C^2$-smooth curves on surfaces. We get Gauss-Bonnet theorems in the affine group and the group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane.

Finite order automorphisms and real forms of affine Kac-Moody algebras in the smooth and algebraic category

Automorphisms of finite order and real forms of "smooth" affine Kac-Moody algebras are studied, i.e. of 2-dimensional extensions of the algebra of smooth loops in a simple Lie algebra. It is shown that they can be parametrized by certain invariants and that in particular the classification of involutions essentially follows from Cartan's classifications in finite dimensions. We also prove that our approach works equally well in the usual algebraic setting and leads to the same results there.

Affine bundles are affine spaces over modules

We show that the category of affine bundles over a smooth manifold M is equivalent to the category of affine spaces modelled on projective finitely generated C^\infty(M)-modules. Using this equivalence of categories, we are able to give an alternate proof of the main result of [13], showing that the characterization of vector bundles by means of their Lie algebras of homogeneous differential operators also holds for vector bundles of rank 1 and over any base manifolds.

Real affine varieties of nonnegative curvature

Let $X_{\mathbb{C}}$ be a smooth real affine variety with compact real points $X_{\mathbb{R}}$. We show that $X_{\mathbb{C}}$ is diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of $X_{\mathbb{R}}$ provided that $X_{\mathbb{C}}$ admits a complete Riemannian metric of nonnegative sectional curvature which is also invariant under the conjugation.

Classification of ancient flows by sub-affine-critical powers of curvature in $\mathbb{R}^2$

We classify closed convex $α$-curve shortening flows for sub-affine-critical powers $α\leq \frac{1}{3}$. In addition, we show that closed convex smooth finite entropy $α$-curve shortening flows with $\frac{1}{3}<α$ is a shrinking circle. After normalization, the ancient flows satisfying the above conditions converge exponentially fast to smooth closed convex shrinkers at the backward infinity. In particular, when $α=\frac{1}{k^2-1}$ with $3\leq k \in \mathbb{N}$, the round circle shrinker has non-trivial Jacobi fields, but the ancient flows do not evolve along the Jacobi fields.

On local generators of affine distributions on Riemannian manifolds

Using a coordinate free characterization of hyperplanes intersection, we provide explicitly a set of local generators for a smooth affine distribution given by those smooth vector fields $X\in\mathfrak{X}(U)$ defined eventually on an open subset $U\subseteq M$ of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, that verifies the relations $g(X,X_1)=\dots =g(X,X_k)=0$, $g(X,Y_1)=h_1, \dots, g(X,Y_p)=h_p$, where $X_1,\dots, X_k, Y_1, \dots, Y_p \in\mathfrak{X}(U)$, and respectively $h_1,\dots, h_p \in \mathcal{C}^{\infty}(U,\mathbb{R})$, are a-priori given quantities. In the case when $X_1,\dots, X_k, Y_1,…
