Symplectic Geometry
In this paper we give the Bohr-Sommerfeld-Heisenberg quantization of the mathematical pendulum.
The goal of the paper is to develop a systematic approach to the study of (perhaps degenerate) singularities of integrable systems and their structural stability. As the main tool, we use "hidden" system-preserving torus actions near…
Several geometric flows on symplectic manifolds are introduced which are potentially of interest in symplectic geometry and topology. They are motivated by the Type IIA flow and T-duality between flows in symplectic geometry and flows in…
K. Cieliebak, H. Hofer, J. Latschev, and F. Schlenk (CHLS) posed the problem of finding a minimal generating set for the (symplectic) capacities on a given symplectic category. We show that if the category contains a certain one-parameter…
Our first main result states that the spectral norm on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, introduced in the works of Viterbo, Schwarz and Oh, is continuous with respect to the C^0 topology, when M is symplectically aspherical. This…
We prove a new variant of the energy-capacity inequality for closed rational symplectic manifolds (as well as certain open manifolds such as cotangent bundle of closed manifolds...) and we derive some consequences to C^0-symplectic…
We show that a symplectic isotopy that is a $C^0$ limit of Hamiltonian isotopies is itself Hamiltonian, if the corresponding sequence of generating Hamiltonians converge in $L^{(1, \infty)}$ topology.
We consider Legendrian links and tangles in $J^1S^1$ and $J^1[0,1]$ equipped with Morse complex families over a field $\mathbb{F}$ and classify them up to Legendrian cobordism. When the coefficient field is $\mathbb{F}_2$ this provides a…
We study threefolds $Y$ fibred by $A_m$-surfaces over a curve $S$ of positive genus. An ideal triangulation of $S$ defines, for each rank $m$, a quiver $Q(\Delta_m)$, hence a $CY_3$-category $(C,W)$ for any potential $W$ on $Q(\Delta_m)$.…
We study exact orbifold fillings of contact manifolds using Floer theories. Motivated by Chen-Ruan's orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants, we define symplectic cohomology of an exact orbifold filling as a group using classical techniques, i.e.…
We show the smooth version of the nearby Lagrangian conjecture for the 2-dimensional pair of pants and the Hamiltonian version for the cylinder. In other words, for any closed exact Lagrangian submanifold of $T^{*}M$, there is a smooth or…
The goal of this note is to describe some constructions of Weinstein manifolds with chaotic Reeb dynamics, and to explain how this property can sometimes be detected directly from the skeleton.
Let $M$ be complex projective manifold and $A$ a positive line bundle on it. Assume that a compact and connected Lie group $G$ acts on $M$ in a Hamiltonian and holomorphic manner and that this action linearizes to $A$. Then, there is an…
We show that if a semipositive symplectic manifold $M^{2n}$ is Steenrod uniruled, in the sense that the quantum Steenrod power of the point class does not agree with its classical Steenrod power for any prime, then the (rational) quantum…
It is shown that the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff fixed point theorem may be proven by extending the geometric approach originally devised by Henri Poincar\'e himself, along with several results from elementary differential topology. Beginning with…
Floer theory relates the dynamics of Hamiltonian isotopies and the homology of the ambient manifold. It was extended to similarly relate the dynamics of symplectic isotopies and the Novikov homology associated to their flux. We discuss this…
By coupling a Hamiltonian mechanical system with a linear Hamiltonian field theory one obtains an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system with regularizing nonlinearity, where the underlying phase space is given by the product of a…
Let $(X,\omega)$ be a closed symplectic manifold. A loop $\phi: S^1 \to \mathrm{Diff}(X)$ of diffeomorphisms of $X$ defines a fibration $\pi: P_{\phi} \to S^2$. By applying Gromov-Witten theory to moduli spaces of holomorphic sections of…
In this note, genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants are reviewed and then applied in some examples of dimension four and six. It is also proved that the use of genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants in the class of embedded $J$-holomorphic…
We first study symplectically embedded curves in symplectic surfaces with high self-intersection numbers compared to their genus. We prove in two different ways that such a curve completely determines both the diffeomorphism type of the…
