Several geometric flows on symplectic manifolds are introduced which are potentially of interest in symplectic geometry and topology. They are motivated by the Type IIA flow and T‑duality between flows in symplectic geometry and flows in complex geometry. Examples include the Hitchin gradient flow on symplectic manifolds, and a new flow which is called the dual Ricci flow.

Hessenberg varieties $mathcal{H}(X,H)$ form a class of subvarieties of the flag variety $G/B$, parameterized by an operator $X$ and certain subspaces $H$ of the Lie algebra of $G$. We identify several families of Hessenberg varieties in type $A_{n-1}$ that are $T$-stable subvarieties of $G/B$, as well as families that are invariant under a subtorus $K$ of $T$. In particular, these varieties are candidates for the use of equivariant methods to study their geometry. Indeed, we are able to show that some of these varieties are unions of Schubert varieties, while others cannot be such unions. Among the $T$-stable Hessenberg varieties, we identify several that are GKM spaces, meaning $T$ acts with isolated fixed points and a finite number of one-dimensional orbits, though we also show that not all Hessenberg varieties with torus actions and finitely many fixed points are GKM. We conclude with a series of open questions about Hessenberg varieties, both in type $A_{n-1}$ and in general Lie type.

This paper, written for differential geometers, shows how to deduce the reciprocity laws of Dedekind and Rademacher, as well as $n$-dimensional generalizations of these, from the Atiyah–Bott–Lefschetz formula, by applying this formula to appropriate elliptic complexes on weighted projective spaces.

Usually the boundary map in $K$-theory localization only gives the tame symbol at $K_2$. It sees the tamely ramified part of the Hilbert symbol, but no wild ramification. Gillet has shown how to prove Weil reciprocity using such boundary maps. This implies Hilbert reciprocity for curves over finite fields. However, phrasing Hilbert reciprocity for number fields in a similar way fails because it crucially hinges on wild ramification effects. We resolve this issue, except at $p=2$. Our idea is to pinch singularities near the ramification locus. This fattens up $K$-theory and makes the wild symbol visible as a boundary map.
