چکیده

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 R2. 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 R2.

The Deformation Space 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 Geometry of Strata of Differentials

Affine varieties among all algebraic varieties have simple structures. For example, an affine variety does not contain any complete algebraic curve. In this paper we study affine related properties of strata of k-differentials on smooth curves which parameterize sections of the k-th power of the canonical line bundle with prescribed orders of zeros and poles. We show that if there is a prescrib...

Smooth * -algebras

Looking for the universal covering of the smooth non-commutative torus leads to a curve of associative multiplications on the space O M (R) ∼= OC(R ) of Laurent Schwartz which is smooth in the deformation parameter ~. The Taylor expansion in ~ leads to the formal Moyal star product. The non-commutative torus and this version of the Heisenberg plane are examples of smooth *-algebras: smooth in t...

Affine structures on abelian Lie Groups

The Nagano-Yagi-Goldmann theorem states that on the torus T, every affine (or projective) structure is invariant or is constructed on the basis of some Goldmann rings [N-Y]. It shows the interest to study the invariant affine structure on the torus T or on abelian Lie groups. Recently, the works of Kim [K] and Dekempe-Ongenae [D-O] precise the number of non equivalent invariant affine structure...

On Holonomy Covering Spaces

Introduction. In [l] L. Markus and the author introduced the concept of holonomy covering spaces for flat affinely connected manifolds or what are also called locally affine spaces. We also proved in [l ] that the holonomy covering space of a complete « dimensional locally affine space must be some « dimensional cylinder, i.e., T^XF"-*, i = 0, •■-,«, where T* denotes the locally affine i dimens...
