Symplectic Geometry

The ECH capacities are a sequence of numerical invariants of symplectic four-manifolds which give (sometimes sharp) obstructions to symplectic embeddings. These capacities are defined using embedded contact homology, and establishing their…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

In this article, we construct a $2$-category of Lagrangians in a fixed shifted symplectic derived stack S. The objects and morphisms are all given by Lagrangians living on various fiber products. A special case of this gives a $2$-category…

We study lower semi-continuity properties of the volume, i.e., the surface area, of a closed Lagrangian manifold with respect to the Hofer- and $\gamma$-distance on a class of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds Hamiltonian isotopic to each…

We explore how the invariants $J^+$, $J^-$, $\mathcal{J}_1$ and $\mathcal{J}_2$ of immersions -- generic (at most double points and only transverse intersections) planar smooth closed curves with non-vanishing derivative -- change under…

In these notes we discuss Lorentz-Finsler metrics, a notion originated in relativity theory, on certain groups of symplectic and contact transformations. Some basic geometric questions arising in this context concerning distance, geodesics…

First, we show that conjugate Lagrangian fillings, associated to plabic graphs, and Lagrangian fillings obtained as Reeb pinching sequences are both Hamiltonian isotopic to Lagrangian projections of Legendrian weaves. In general, we…

In this paper we give geometric conditions so that the integral mapping of a Liouville integrable Hamiltonian system with a focus-focus equilibrium point has scattering monodromy. Using a complex version of the Morse lemma, we show that…

We introduce a notion of a homotopy momentum section on a Lie algebroid over a pre-multisymplectic manifold. A homotopy momentum section is a generalization of the momentum map with a Lie group action and the momentum section on a…

The complex projective plane CP^2 contains certain Lagrangian CW-complexes called pinwheels, which have interesting rigidity properties related to solutions of the Markov equation. We compute the Gromov width of the complement of pinwheels…

We show that if a diffeomorphism of a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\omega)$ preserves the form $\omega^{k}$ for $0 < k < n$ and is connected to identity through such diffeomorphisms then it is indeed a symplectomorphism.

This paper deals with the ${\mathcal C}^0$-rigidity of the reduction of coiostropic submanifolds under the action of symplectic homeomorphism. More precisely, we exhibit several situations where a symplectic homeomorphism that takes a…

For a weighted homogeneous polynomial and a choice of a diagonal symmetry group, we define a new Fukaya category for a Landau-Ginzburg orbifold (of Fano or Calabi-Yau type). The construction is based on the wrapped Fukaya category of its…

We introduce geometric quantization for constant rank presymplectic structures with Riemannian null foliation and compact leaf closure space. We prove a quantization-commutes-with-reduction theorem in this context. Examples related to…

We introduce the notion of a symplectic capacity relative to a coisotropic submanifold of a symplectic manifold, and we construct two examples of such capacities through modifications of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity. As a consequence, we…

We explain how to adapt the methods of Abouzaid-McLean-Smith to the setting of Hamiltonian Floer theory. We develop a language around equivariant ``$\langle k \rangle$-manifolds'', which are a type of manifold-with-corners that suffices to…

For any closed symplectic manifold, we show that the number of 1-periodic orbits of a nondegenerate Hamiltonian thereon is bounded from below by a version of total Betti number over Z of the ambient space taking account of the total Betti…

We prove categorical systolic inequalities for the derived categories of 2-Calabi--Yau Ginzburg dg algebras associated to ADE quivers and explore their symplecto-geometric aspects.

We investigate the interactions between the Legendrian satellite construction and the existence of exact, orientable Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian knots. Given Lagrangian cobordisms between two Legendrian knots and between two…

Following the proposals of Donaldson-Thomas, Haydys and Gaiotto-Moore-Witten, we give a construction of Fukaya-Seidel categories for a suitable class of Morse Landau-Ginzburg models using the complex gradient flow equation, which has the…
