We introduce the notion of symplectic flatness for connections and fiber bundles over symplectic manifolds. Given an $A_\infty$-algebra, we present a flatness condition that enables the twisting of the differential complex associated with the $A_\infty$-algebra. The symplectic flatness condition arises from twisting the $A_\infty$-algebra of differential forms constructed by Tsai, Tseng and Yau. When the symplectic manifold is equipped with a compatible metric, the symplectic flat connections represent a special subclass of Yang-Mills connections. We further study the cohomologies of the twisted differential complex and give a simple vanishing theorem for them.

The problem we study in this paper originated from a simple high school math competition (AMC 12) question on a geometric probability model: “A frog makes 3 jumps, each exactly 1 meter long. The directions of the jumps are chosen independently at random. What is the probability that the frog’s final position is no more than 1 meter from its starting position?” [1] From here, we changed the number of jumps the frog made, the length of each jump and the dimensions of the space. Using recursion, we obtained the recursive formula of the probability of a frog landing x meters within its original spot after jumping m 1-meter jumps in an N -dimension space by integrating the probability distribution of the former step. We also suggested a concept “the intensity of the probability field” to describe the relative probability of each spot and gave an expression of the intensity of each spot of a 2-dimensional space when the frog makes m jumps.

In this paper, we first derive the CR analogue of matrix Li–Yau–Hamilton inequality for the positive solution to the CR heat equation in a closed pseudohermitian (2n + 1)-manifold with nonnegative bisectional curvature and bitorsional tensor. We then obtain the CR Li–Yau gradient estimate in the Heisenberg group. We apply this CR gradient estimate and extend the CR matrix Li–Yau–Hamilton inequality to the case of the Heisenberg group. As a consequence, we derive the Hessian comparison property for the Heisenberg group.
