报告摘要：

For manifolds such as special holonomy and symplectic manifolds that are equipped with a geometrical structure specified by a distinguished closed form, we will motivate the usefulness of considering pairs of differential forms that are linked together by a map of the distinguished form.  We will show how this lead to new notions of Morse theory and flat connections, and also novel Yang-Mills type functionals. This talk is based on joint works with David Clausen, Xiang Tang, and Jiawei Zhou.
