Symplectic Geometry
It has been shown that the Cauchy problem for geodesics in the space of K\"ahler metrics with a fixed cohomology class on a compact complex manifold $M$ can be effectively reduced to the problem of finding the flow of a related hamiltonian…
We formulate some conjectures about the K-theory of symplectic manifolds and their Fukaya categories, and prove some of them in very special cases.
A local normal form theorem for smooth equivariant maps between Fr\'echet manifolds is established. Moreover, an elliptic version of this theorem is obtained. The proof these normal form results is inspired by the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction…
We generalize the mixed tori which appear in the second author's JSJ-type decomposition theorem for symplectic fillings of contact manifolds. Mixed tori are convex surfaces in contact manifolds which may be used to decompose symplectic…
In previous work we computed the symplectic volume of the symplectic reduced space of the product of N adjoint orbits of a compact Lie group. In this paper we compute the intersection pairings of the same object.
We construct a Lagrangian torus fibration on a smooth hypertoric variety and a corresponding SYZ mirror variety using $T$-duality and generating functions of open Gromov-Witten invariants. The variety is singular in general. We construct a…
Given a contact structure on a manifold $V$ together with a supporting open book decomposition, Bourgeois gave an explicit construction for a contact structure on $V \times \mathbb{T}^2$. We prove that all such structures are universally…
We prove a non-squeezing result for Lagrangian embeddings of the real projective plane into blow-ups of the symplectic ball.
Following the approach of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich arXiv:1409.8611, to any homologically smooth graded gentle algebra $A$ we associate a triple $(\Sigma_A, \Lambda_A; \eta_A)$, where $\Sigma_A$ is an oriented smooth surface with…
In recent work, we introduced topological notions of simple normal crossings symplectic divisor and variety, showed that they are equivalent, in a suitable sense, to the corresponding geometric notions, and established a topological…
Let $(M, g)$ be a real analytic Kaehler manifold. We say that a smooth map $E_p:W\to M$ from a neighborhood $W$ of the origin of $T_pM$ into $M$ is a {\em diastatic exponential} at $p$ if it satisfies $$(d \E_p)_0=\id_{T_pM},$$ $$D_p(\E_p…
We prove that for any compact orientable connected 3-manifold with torus boundary, a concatenation of it and the direct product of the circle and the Klein bottle with an open 2-disk removed admits a Lagrangian embedding into the standard…
This is a revision of some expository lecture notes written originally for a 5-hour minicourse on the intersection theory of punctured holomorphic curves and its applications in 3-dimensional contact topology. The main lectures are aimed…
We show that the moduli space of parabolic bundles on the projective line and the polygon space are isomorphic, both as complex manifolds and symplectic manifolds equipped with structures of completely integrable systems, if the stability…
We answer the natural question: when are a regular Poisson structure along with a complex structure transverse to its symplectic leaves induced by generalized complex structure? The leafwise symplectic form and transverse complex structure…
Speyer and Sturmfels [SpSt] associated Gr\"obner toric degenerations $\mathrm{Gr}_2(\C^n)^{\tree}$ of $\mathrm{Gr}_2(\C^n)$ to each trivalent tree $\tree$ with $n$ leaves. These degenerations induce toric degenerations $M_{\br}^{\tree}$ of…
These are lecture notes on scale calculus and M-polyfolds written for a graduate course at UNICAMP March-June 2018 and an advanced mini-course given during the biannual meeting of Brazilian mathematicians, CBM-32, at IMPA in August 2019.
Using Lagrangian Floer theory, we study the tropical geometry of K3 surfaces with general singular fibres. In particular, we give the local models for the type $I_n$, $II$, $III$ and $IV$ singular fibres in the Kodaira's classification and…
In this note, we study the SYZ mirror construction for a toric Calabi-Yau manifold using instanton corrections coming from Woodward's quasimap Floer theory instead of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono's Lagrangian Floer theory. We show that the resulting…
Given a closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold with positive first Betti number, one can define an instanton Floer group as well as a quilted Lagrangian Floer group. Each of these is equipped with a chain level grading. We show that the…
