Symplectic Geometry

The original proof of the Gromov's non-squeezing theorem [Gro85] is based on pseudo-holomorphic curves. The central ingredient is the compactness of the moduli space of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in the symplectic manifold…

In this short note, we construct an explicit embedding of the rescaling of the $p$-sum $K\oplus_p K^{\circ}$ of the centrally symmetric convex domain $K$ and its polar $K^{\circ}$ to the product $K \times K^{\circ}$. The rescaling constant…

Given Lagrangian (real, complex) projective spaces $K_1, \dots , K_m$ in a Liouville manifold $(X, \omega)$ satisfying a certain cohomological condition, we show there is a Lagrangian correspondence that assigns a Lagrangian sphere $L_i…

In [FOOO12], K. Fukaya, Y. Oh, H. Ohta, and K. Ono (FOOO) obtained the monotone symplectic manifold $S^2\times S^2$ by resolving the singularity of a toric degeneration of a Hirzebruch surface. They identified a continuum of toric fibers in…

In this article we consider operators of the form $\partial_s\xi+A(s)\xi$ where $s$ lies in an interval $[-T,T]$ and $s\mapsto A(s)$ is continuous. Without boundary conditions these operators are not Fredholm. However, using interpolation…

We count holomorphic curves in complex 3-space with boundaries on three special Lagrangian solid tori. The count is valued in the HOMFLYPT skein module of the union of the tori. Using 1-parameter families of curves at infinity, we derive…

In this paper we study the uniqueness of Lagrangian fillings of the standard Legendrian sphere $\mathcal{L}_0$ in the standard contact sphere $(S^{2n-1}, \xi_{\text st})$. We show that every exact Maslov zero Lagrangian filling $L$ of…

For manifolds equipped with group actions, we have the following natural question: To what extent does the equivariant cohomology determine the equivariant diffeotype? We resolve this question for Hamiltonian circle actions on compact,…

In this article, we study the behavior of iterations of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic manifolds. We prove that symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms do not have $C^1$-recurrence on negatively…

On a closed and connected symplectic manifold, the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms has the structure of an infinite-dimensional Fr\'echet Lie group, where the Lie algebra is naturally identified with the space of smooth and zero-mean…

The group of compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold is endowed with a natural bi-invariant distance, due to Viterbo, Schwarz, Oh, Frauenfelder and Schlenk, coming from spectral invariants in Hamiltonian…

Inspired by the work of Bell on the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture, and by family Floer cohomology, we construct p-adic analytic families of bimodules on the Fukaya category of a monotone or negatively monotone symplectic manifold,…

We study the geography of bilinearized Legendrian contact homology for closed, connected Legendrian submanifolds with vanishing Maslov class in 1-jet spaces. We show that this invariant detects whether the two augmentations used to define…

In 2009, R. Siefring introduced a homotopy-invariant generalized intersection number and singularity index for punctured pseudoholomorphic curves, by adding contributions from curve's asymptotic behavior to the standard intersection number…

There is an important difference between Hamiltonian-like vector fields in an almost-symplectic manifold $(M,\sigma)$, compared to the standard case of a symplectic manifold: in the almost-symplectic case, a vector field such that the…

For a broad class of symplectic manifolds of dimension at least six, we find the following new phenomenon: there exist local exotic Lagrangian tori. More specifically, let $X$ be a geometrically bounded symplectic manifold of dimension at…

We introduce and study the barcode entropy for geodesic flows of closed Riemannian manifolds, which measures the exponential growth rate of the number of not-too-short bars in the Morse-theoretic barcode of the energy functional. We prove…

As observed by Kawamata, a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing of a Wahl singularity gives rise to a one-parameter flat degeneration of a matrix algebra. A similar result holds for a general smoothing of any two-dimensional cyclic quotient…

By a result due to Ziltener, there exist no closed embedded Bohr-Sommerfeld Lagrangians inside $\mathbb CP^n$ for the prequantisation bundle whose total space is the standard contact sphere. On the other hand, any embedded monotone…

We prove that the wrapped Fukaya category of any $2n$-dimensional Weinstein manifold (or, more generally, Weinstein sector) $W$ is generated by the unstable manifolds of the index $n$ critical points of its Liouville vector field. Our proof…
