Lie Group Valued Moment Maps
read the original abstract
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.

Generalised Complex and Spinor Relations
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.

Compatible Poisson structures on multiplicative quiver varieties
Multiplicative quiver varieties carry a pencil of dimension ℓ(ℓ-1)/2 of compatible Poisson structures obtained by reduction from a pencil of Hamiltonian quasi-Poisson structures.

Spherical singularities in compactified Ruijsenaars--Schneider systems
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.
