Symplectic Geometry
We give a mathematical definition of some path integrals, emphasizing those relevant to the quantization of symplectic manifolds (and more generally, Poisson manifolds) $\unicode{x2013}$ in particular, the coherent state path integral. We…
We prove a compactness theorem for sequences of low-action punctured holomorphic curves of controlled topology, in any dimension, without imposing the typical assumption of uniformly bounded Hofer energy. In the limit, we extract a family…
Given an embedded stable hypersurface in a four-dimensional symplectic manifold, we prove that it is stable isotopic to a $C^0$-close stable hypersurface with the following property: $C^\infty$-nearby hypersurfaces are generically unstable.…
We study lagrangian submanifolds of algebraic variety Gr(1, n) equipped with the Kahler form given by the Plucker embedding. We use the correspondence between lagrangian submanifolds of Gr(1, n) and lagrangian submanifolds of variety…
We establish the relationship between folded symplectic forms and convex hypersurface theory in contact topology. As an application, we use convex hypersurface theory to reprove and strengthen the existence result for folded symplectic…
We establish the Giroux correspondence in arbitrary dimensions. As corollaries we (i) give an alternate proof of a result of Giroux-Pardon that states that any Weinstein domain is Weinstein homotopic to one which admits a Weinstein…
We prove new cases of the Hilbert-Smith conjecture for actions by natural homeomorphisms in symplectic topology. Specifically, we prove that the group of $p$-adic integers $\mathbb Z_p$ does not admit non-trivial continuous actions by…
We explicitly construct a symplectomorphism that relates magnetic twists to the invariant hyperk\"ahler structure of the tangent bundle of a Hermitian symmetric space. This symplectomorphism reveals foliations by (pseudo-) holomorphic…
In the paper we continue to study Special Bohr-Sommerfeld geometry of compact symplectic manifolds. Using natural deformation parameters we avoid the difficulties appeared in the definition of the moduli space of Special Bohr-Sommerfeld…
Work of Hofer--Wysocki--Zehnder has shown that many spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that arise when studying symplectic manifolds may be described as the zero set of a polyfold Fredholm section. This framework has many analytic…
In this paper, we show that the pointwise finite-dimensional two-parameter persistence module $\mathbb{HF}_*^{(\bullet,\bullet]}$, defined in terms of interlevel filtered Floer homology, is rectangle-decomposable. This allows for the…
For an embedded exact Lagrangian cobordism between Legendrian submanifolds in the 1-jet bundle, we prove that a generating family linear at infinity on the Legendrian at the negative end extends to a generating family linear at infinity on…
The aim of this paper is to give new insights about families of integrable systems lifting a Hamiltonian $S^1$-space. Specifically, we study one-parameter families $(M^4,\omega,F_t=(J,H_t))_{0 \leq t \leq 1}$ of systems with a fixed…
The open Gromov--Witten (OGW) potential is a function from the set of weak bounding cochains on a closed Lagrangian in a closed symplectic manifold to the Novikov ring. Existing definitions of the OGW potential assume that the ground field…
The systole of a contact form $\alpha$ is defined as the shortest period of closed Reeb orbits of $\alpha$. Given a non-trivial $\mathbb S^1$-principal bundle over $\mathbb S^2$ with total space $M$, we prove a sharp systolic inequality for…
In this paper, we define a family of categories for each Liouville manifold, which is an enhanced version of the category first introduced by Tamarkin. Using our categories, for any (possibly non-exact immersed) Lagrangian brane, we develop…
In this paper, we examine the dependence of standard gluing process for pseudoholomorphic curves under the change of the length $T$ of the neck-region with respect to the cylindrical metrics associated to the given analytic coordinates near…
Homology theories categorifying quantum group link invariants are known to be governed by the representation theory of quiver Hecke algebras, also called KLRW algebras. Here we show that certain cylindrical KLRW algebras, relevant in…
We compute the classical and quantum cohomology rings of the twistor spaces of 6-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds and the eigenvalues of quantum multiplication by the first Chern class. Given a half-dimensional totally geodesic submanifold…
This note proposes a new notion of a gradient-like vector field and discusses its implications for the theory of Stein and Weinstein structures.
