Symplectic Geometry

We explicitly produce symplectic genus-3 Lefschetz pencils (with base points), whose total spaces are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to rational surfaces CP^2 # p (-CP^2) for p= 7, 8, 9. We then give a new construction of an infinite…

In [OW2,OW3], the authors studied the nonlinear elliptic system $$ \overline{\partial}^\pi w = 0, \, d(w^*\lambda \circ j) = 0 $$ without involving symplectization for each given contact triad $(Q,\lambda, J)$, and established the a priori…

We prove the surprising fact that the infinity-category of stabilized Liouville sectors is a localization of an ordinary category of stabilized Liouville sectors and strict sectorial embeddings. From the perspective of homotopy theory, this…

This is a book aimed at graduate students and researchers in symplectic geometry, based on a course I taught in 2019. The primary message is that the base of a Lagrangian torus fibration inherits an integral affine structure, which you can…

In the first part of the present series of papers, we studied the moduli spaces of holomorphic discs and strips into an open symplectic manifold, isomorphic to the complement of a smooth divisor in a closed symplectic manifold. In…

In this paper, Floer homology for Lagrangian submanifolds in an open symplectic manifold given as the complement of a smooth divisor is discussed. The main new feature of this construction is that we do not make any assumption on positivity…

This work contains a brief and elementary exposition of the foundations of Poisson and symplectic geometries, with an emphasis on applications for Hamiltonian systems with second-class constraints. In particular, we clarify the geometric…

Categorical symplectic geometry is the study of a rich collection of invariants of symplectic manifolds, including the Fukaya $A_\infty$-category, Floer cohomology, and symplectic cohomology. Beginning with work of Wehrheim and Woodward in…

We construct a contactomorphism of the standard sphere which does not have any translated points, providing a negative answer to a conjecture posed by Sandon.

We continue our study of symplectically flat bundles. We broaden the notion of symplectically flat connections on symplectic manifolds to $\zeta$-flat connections on smooth manifolds. These connections on principal bundles can be…

We explicitly construct several Poisson structures with compact support. For example, we show that any Poisson structure on $\R^n$ with polynomial coefficients of degree at most two can be modified outside an open ball, such that it becomes…

In this paper, we present new obstructions to the existence of Lagrangian cobordisms in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that depend only on the enriched knot diagrams of the boundary knots or links, using holomorphic curve techniques. We define enriched…

In this article, we identify the 5-dimensional analogue of the finite energy foliations introduced by Hofer--Wysocki--Zehnder for the study of 3-dimensional Reeb flows, and show that these exist for the spatial circular restricted…

In [BOV20] Barutello, Ortega, and Verzini introduced a non-local functional which regularizes the free fall. This functional has a critical point at infinity and therefore does not satisfy the Palais-Smale condition. In this article we…

Main results are, firstly, a generalization of the Conley-Zehnder index from ODEs to the delay equation at hand and, secondly, the equality of the Morse index and the clockwise normalized Conley-Zehnder index.

In this article we give a uniform proof why the shift map on Floer homology trajectory spaces is scale smooth. This proof works for various Floer homologies, periodic, Lagrangian, Hyperk\"ahler, elliptic or parabolic, and uses Hilbert space…

We classify, up to fiberwise symplectomorphisms, a saturated neighborhood of a singular fiber of an integrable system (which is proper onto its image and has connected fibers) containing $k > 1$ focus-focus critical points. Our result shows…

Moore-Tachikawa varieties are certain Hamiltonian holomorphic symplectic varieties conjectured in the context of $2$-dimensional topological quantum field theories. We discuss several constructions related to these varieties.

Let $(X, \omega, J)$ be a toric variety of dimension $2n$ determined by a Delzant polytope. In this paper, we first construct the polarizations $\shP_{k}$ by the Hamiltonian $T^{k}$-action on $X$ (see Theorem 3.11). We will show that…

In this short note, we provide a criterion for DGA-homotopy of augmentations of Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of disconnected Legendrian submanifolds. We apply the criterion to obtain the extension of geography results of Bourgeois and Galant…
