We develop a theory of "quasi"-Hamiltonian G-spaces for which the moment map takes values in the group G itself rather than in the dual of the Lie algebra. The theory includes counterparts of Hamiltonian reductions, the Guillemin-Sternberg symplectic cross-section theorem and of convexity properties of the moment map. As an application we obtain moduli spaces of flat connections on an oriented compact 2-manifold with boundary as quasi-Hamiltonian quotients of the space G^2 x ... x G^2.

  1. Generalised Complex and Spinor Relations

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Courant algebroid relations define spinor and Dirac structure relations, with T-duality inducing spinor relations that generalize twisted cohomology isomorphisms and are compatible with Type II supergravity equations.

  2. Spherical singularities in compactified Ruijsenaars--Schneider systems

    math-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Singular fibers in type (ii) compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider systems are smooth connected isotropic submanifolds, diffeomorphic to S^3 over singular vertices of the action polytope in simple cases.
