We introduce and study a notion of `Sasaki with torsion structure (ST) as an odd-dimensional analogue of Kahler with torsion geometry (KT). These are normal almost contact metric manifolds that admit a unique compatible connection with 3-form torsion. Any odd-dimensional compact Lie group is shown to admit such a structure; in this case the structure is left-invariant and has closed torsion form. We illustrate the relation between ST structures and other generalizations of Sasaki geometry, and explain how some standard constructions in Sasaki geometry can be adapted to this setting. In particular, we relate the ST structure to a KT structure on the space of leaves, and show that both the cylinder and the cone over an ST manifold are KT, although only the cylinder behaves well with respect to closedness of the torsion form. Finally, we introduce a notion of `G-moment map. We provide criteria based on equivariant cohomology ensuring the existence of these maps, and then apply them as a tool for reducing ST structures.

We investigate quaternionic contact (qc) manifolds from the point of view of intrinsic torsion. We argue that the natural structure group for this geometry is a non-compact Lie group K containing Sp(n)H^*, and show that any qc structure gives rise to
a canonical K-structure with constant intrinsic torsion, except in seven dimensions, when this condition is equivalent to integrability in the sense of Duchemin. We prove that the choice of a reduction to Sp(n)H^* (or equivalently, a complement of the qc distribution) yields a unique K-connection satisfying natural conditions on torsion and curvature. We show that the choice of a compatible metric on the qc distribution determines a canonical reduction to Sp(n)Sp(1) and a canonical Sp(n)Sp(1)-connection whose curvature is almost entirely determined by its torsion. We show that its Ricci tensor, as well as the Ricci tensor of the Biquard connection, has an interpretation in terms of intrinsic torsion.
We study the graded geometric point of view of curvature and torsion of Q-manifolds (differential graded manifolds). In particular, we get a natural graded geometric definition of Courant algebroid curvature and torsion, which correctly restrict to D
irac structures. Depending on an auxiliary affine connection K, we introduce the K-curvature and K-torsion of a Courant algebroid connection. These are conventional tensors on the body. Finally, we compute their Ricci and scalar curvature.
In this paper, we extend Delignes functorial Riemann-Roch isomorphism for hermitian holomorphic line bundles on Riemann surfaces to the case of flat, not necessarily unitary connections. The Quillen metric and star-product of Gillet-Soule are replace
d with complex valued logarithms. On the determinant of cohomology side, the idea goes back to Fays holomorphic extension of determinants of Dolbeault laplacians, and it is shown here to be equivalent to the holomorphic Cappell-Miller torsion. On the Deligne pairing side, the logarithm is a refinement of the intersection connections considered in previous work. The construction naturally leads to an Arakelov theory for flat line bundles on arithmetic surfaces and produces arithmetic intersection numbers valued in ${mathbb C}/pi i {mathbb Z}$. In this context we prove an arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem. This realizes a program proposed by Cappell-Miller to show that the holomorphic torsion exhibits properties similar to those of the Quillen metric proved by Bismut, Gillet and Soule. Finally, we give examples that clarify the kind of invariants that the formalism captures; namely, periods of differential forms.
The gauged sigma model with target $mathbb{P}^1$, defined on a Riemann surface $Sigma$, supports static solutions in which $k_+$ vortices coexist in stable equilibrium with $k_-$ antivortices. Their moduli space is a noncompact complex manifold $M_{(
k_+,k_-)}(Sigma)$ of dimension $k_++k_-$ which inherits a natural Kahler metric $g_{L^2}$ governing the models low energy dynamics. This paper presents the first detailed study of $g_{L^2}$, focussing on the geometry close to the boundary divisor $D=partial M_{(k_+,k_-)}(Sigma)$. On $Sigma=S^2$, rigorous estimates of $g_{L^2}$ close to $D$ are obtained which imply that $M_{(1,1)}(S^2)$ has finite volume and is geodesically incomplete. On $Sigma=mathbb{R}^2$, careful numerical analysis and a point-vortex formalism are used to conjecture asymptotic formulae for $g_{L^2}$ in the limits of small and large separation. All these results make use of a localization formula, expressing $g_{L^2}$ in terms of data at the (anti)vortex positions, which is established for general $M_{(k_+,k_-)}(Sigma)$. For arbitrary compact $Sigma$, a natural compactification of the space $M_{(k_+,k_-)}(Sigma)$ is proposed in terms of a certain limit of gauged linear sigma models, leading to formulae for its volume and total scalar curvature. The volume formula agrees with the result established for $Vol(M_{(1,1)}(S^2))$, and allows for a detailed study of the thermodynamics of vortex-antivortex gas mixtures. It is found that the equation of state is independent of the genus of $Sigma$, and that the entropy of mixing is always positive.
We re-examine the jet probes of the nucleon spin and flavor structures. We find for the first time the time-reversal odd (T-odd) component of a jet, conventionally thought to vanish, can survive due to the non-perturbative fragmentation and hadroniza
tion effects and could be testable. This additional contribution of a jet will lead to novel jet phenomena relevant for unlocking the access to several spin structures of the nucleon, which were thought to be impossible by using jets. As examples, we show how the T-odd constituent can couple to the proton transversity at the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) and can give rise to the anisotropy in the jet production in $e^+e^-$ annihilations. We expect the T-odd contribution of the jet to have broad applications in high energy nuclear physics.
