Symplectic Geometry
By considering suitable Poisson groupoids, we develop an approach to obtain Lie group structures on (subgroups of) the Poisson diffeomorphism groups of various classes of Poisson manifolds. As applications, we show that the Poisson…
We investigate the failure of B\'ezout's Theorem for two symplectic surfaces in $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^2$ (and more generally on an algebraic surface), by proving that every plane algebraic curve $C$ can be perturbed in the…
In this article, we prove that every contactomorphism of any standard contact lens space of dimension $2n-1$ that is contact-isotopic to identity has at least $2n$ translated points. This sharp lower bound refines a result of…
We use generating function techniques developed by Givental, Th\'eret and ourselves to deduce a proof in $\mathbb{C}\text{P}^d$ of the homological generalization of Franks theorem due to Shelukhin. This result proves in particular the…
Inspired by the techniques of Givental and Th\'eret, we provide a proof with generating functions of a recent result of Ginzburg-G\"urel concerning the periodic points of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}\text{P}^d$. For instance,…
We call a symplectic rational surface $(X,\omega)$ \textit{positive} if $c_1(X)\cdot[\omega]>0$. The positivity condition of a rational surface is equivalent to the existence of a divisor $D\subset X$, such that $(X, D)$ is a log Calabi-Yau…
We study a local-to-global inequality for spectral invariants of Hamiltonians whose supports have a ``large enough" tubular neighborhood on semipositive symplectic manifolds. In particular, we present the first examples of such an…
Recent work of Siegel and of Moreno and Zhou uses rational symplectic field theory to construct (different) invariants of contact manifolds. Here, I review how the algebraic parts of their work can be phrased in the algebraic language of…
We develop the gluing theory of contact instantons in the context of open strings and in the context of closed strings \emph{with vanishing charge}, for example in the symplectization context. This is one of the key ingredients for the…
We conclude the construction of $r$-spin theory in genus zero for Riemann surfaces with boundary. In particular, we define open $r$-spin intersection numbers, and we prove that their generating function is closely related to the wave…
It is known that any closed, exact Lagrangian in the cotangent bundle of a closed, smooth manifold is of the same homotopy type as the zero section. In this paper, we give a Fukaya-theoretic proof of this fact for the sphere and torus to…
Let $Q$ be a closed manifold with non-trivial first Betti number that admits a non-trivial $S^1$-action, and $\Sigma \subseteq T^*Q$ a non-degenerate starshaped hypersurface. We prove that the number of geometrically distinct Reeb orbits of…
Exponential convergence type results are proved for holomorphic curves in the symplectization of a contact manifold $Y$ with boundary on a Legendrian cylinder. The results are proven in all dimensions, and generalize earlier work specific…
Lagrangian $k$-surgery modifies an immersed Lagrangian submanifold by topological $k$-surgery while removing a self-intersection. Associated to a $k$-surgery is a Lagrangian surgery trace cobordism. We prove that every Lagrangian cobordism…
Given a contact three manifold $Y$ with a nondegenerate contact form $\lambda$, and an almost complex structure $J$ compatible with $\lambda$, its embedded contact homology $ECH(Y,\lambda)$ is defined (arXiv:1303.5789) and only depends on…
We introduce a category of Kuranishi presentations, whose objects are a variant of the Kuranishi structures introduced by Fukaya and Ono, and which can be seen as a refinement of the version studied by Pardon. We then formulate the notion…
It is the goal of this paper to present the first steps for defining the analogue of Hamiltonian Floer theory for covariant field theory, treating time and space relativistically. While there already exist a number of competing geometric…
This paper is essentially made of the three preprints arXiv:1212.5818, arXiv:1311.0187, arXiv:1603.07876 gathered in a single text, with simplified proofs. We recall several results of the microlocal theory of sheaves of Kashiwara-Schapira…
We construct the shifted genus expanded $\cal{W}_{\infty}$ algebra, which is isomorphic to the central subalgebra $\cal{A}_{\infty}$ of infinite symmetric group algebra and to the shifted Schur symmetrical function algebra $\Lambda^\ast$…
To distinguish the contributions to the generalized Hurwitz number of the source Riemann surface with different genus, we define the genus expanded cut-and-join operators by observing carefully the symplectic surgery and the gluing formulas…
