Symplectic Geometry

We show that Banyaga's Hofer-like norm, a generalization of the Hofer norm coincides with the classical Hofer norm when restricted to Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on compact symplectic manifolds. This result proves a conjecture of Banyaga…

We give a lower bound on the number of intersection points of a Lagrangian pair via Steenrod squares on Lagrangian Floer cohomology induced from a Floer homotopy type. The main technical input is a computation of the associated graded of…

We show that the family of smoothly non-isotopic Legendrian pretzel knots from the work of Cornwell-Ng-Sivek that all have the same Legendrian invariants as the standard unknot have front-spuns that are Legendrian isotopic to the front-spun…

We classify symplectically foliated fillings of certain foliated manifolds with a contact structure on the leaves. We show that for the foliated sphere cotangent bundle of the Reeb foliation on the three-sphere, the corresponding foliated…

In this paper, we introduce \emph{$\ell^p$-information geometry}, an infinite-dimensional framework that shares key features with the geometry of the space of probability densities \( \mathrm{Dens}(M) \) on a closed manifold, while also…

We construct a family of non-geometric Bridgeland stability conditions on certain wrapped Fukaya categories, using homological mirror symmetry and categorical K\"unneth formulae. These stability conditions correspond to certain holomorphic…

In this article, we combine V. Arnold's celebrated approach via the Euler-Arnold equation -- describing the geodesic flow on a Lie group equipped with a right-invariant metric \cite{Arnold66} -- with his formulation of the motion of a…

In this paper, we introduce \emph{$\ell^p$-information geometry}, an infinite dimensional framework that shares key features with the geometry of the space of probability densities \( \mathrm{Dens}(M) \) on a closed manifold, while also…

Dirac brackets are widely used to study constrained Hamiltonian dynamics. In this paper we develop a Dirac-bracket approach to normal forms on momentum levels and relate it to symplectic reduction in the cases where reduction yields a…

We construct bypass attachments in higher dimensional contact manifolds that, when attached to a neighborhood of a Weinstein hypersurface, yield a neighborhood of a new Weinstein hypersurface, obtained via local modifications to the…

Monotone polytopes, also known as smooth reflexive polytopes, are the polytopes associated to monotone symplectic toric manifolds and Gorenstein Fano toric varieties. We first show that the only monotone polytopes admitting blow-ups at…

Fix a knot $K_0$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and consider a Lagrangian submanifold $L$ of $T^*\mathbb{R}^3$ that is isotopic to the conormal bundle of $K_0$ by a compactly supported Hamiltonian isotopy and intersects the zero section $\mathbb{R}^3$…

We compute the Poisson cohomology of the linear Poisson structure dual to the n-dimensional "book" Lie algebra, defined by [e_0,e_i]=e_i, [e_i,e_j]=0, for i,j=1,...,n-1.

In this paper, we study a family of symplectic manifolds introduced by Woodward. These manifolds belong to the broader class of \emph{multiplicity-free} Hamiltonian $G$-manifolds, a generalization of toric manifolds for non-abelian…

The symplectic spectral metric on the set of Lagrangian submanifolds or Hamiltonian maps can be used to define a completion of these spaces. For an element of such a completion, we define its $\gamma$-support. We also define the notion of…

For an $S^1$-framed modular operad $P$, we introduce its "Feynman compactification" denoted by $FP$ which is a modular operad. Let $\{\mathbb{M}^{\sf fr}(g,n)\}_{(g,n)}$ be the $S^1$-framed modular operad defined using moduli spaces of…

These notes are intended to be an introduction to shifted symplectic geometry, targeted to Poisson geometers with a serious background in homological algebra. They are extracted from a mini-course given by the first author at the Poisson…

We show that for all $n \ge 3$, any $(2n+1)$-dimensional manifold that admits a tight contact structure, also admits a tight but non-fillable contact structure, in the same almost contact class. For $n=2$, we obtain the same result,…

For given smooth functions $(f_1,\dots,f_n)$ on $M$, Fukaya and Oh showed that the moduli space of pseudoholomorphic disks in $T^*M$ which are bounded by Lagrangian sections $\{L_i^\epsilon=\operatorname{graph}(\epsilon df_i)\}$ is…

Let a torus $T$ act on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with moment map $\phi$. We say that the Hamiltonian $T$-manifold $(M,\omega,\phi)$ has complexity one if $\frac{1}{2} \dim M - \dim T = 1$, and that it is K\"ahler if it admits an…
