These are (heavily revised) notes from lectures given at the AMS Algebraic Geometry meeting in Seattle, 2005. The main topic is symplectic homology seen from the point of view of Lefschetz fibrations. Most of the content is speculative, but…

These are notes to accompany my lectures at the $2024$ "Current Developments in Mathematics" conference hosted by Harvard/MIT. The lectures were about some recent progress in our understanding of two and three dimensional dynamical systems,…

This is the preliminary manuscript of a book on symplectic field theory based on a lecture course for PhD students given in 2015-16. It covers the essentials of the analytical theory of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves, taking the…

This is a light survey article about the origins of contact and symplectic topology in dynamics and the more recent developments in the field. In lieu of formulas, numerous anecdotes are given.

This is a set of expository lecture notes created originally for a graduate course on holomorphic curves taught at ETH Zurich and the Humboldt University Berlin in 2009/2010. The notes are still incomplete, but due to recent requests from…

These notes give an introduction to embedded contact homology (ECH) of contact three-manifolds, gathering together many basic notions which are scattered across a number of papers. We also discuss the origins of ECH, including various…

This is an overview of math.AG/0310186, math.AG/0309290, math.AG/0501247, math.AG/0401002 and math.AG/0504584 written for the Proceedings of the AMS Meeting on Algebraic Geometry, Seattle, 2005.

This paper can be considered as an extension to our paper [On symplectically harmonic forms on six-dimensional nilmanifolds, Comment. Math. Helv. 76 (2001), n 1, 89-109]. Also, it contains a brief survey of recent results on symplectically…

We survey the progress on the study of symplectic geometry past five decades. The survey focuses on the convexity properties of a moment map, the classification of symplectic actions, the symplectic embedding problems, and the theory of…

In this paper we survey several intersection and non-intersection phenomena appearing in the realm of symplectic topology. We discuss their implications and finally outline some new relations of the subject to algebraic geometry.

This text is a set of lecture notes for a series of four talks given at I.P.A.M., Los Angeles, on March 18-20, 2003. The first lecture provides a quick overview of symplectic topology and its main tools: symplectic manifolds, almost-complex…

A list of open problems on holomorphic symplectic, contact and Poisson manifolds.

In this paper we survey some recent works that take the first steps toward establishing bilateral connections between symplectic geometry and several other fields, namely, asymptotic geometric analysis, classical convex geometry, and the…

These lecture notes are based on an introductory course given by the author at the summer school "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" at MSRI in June 2012. The emphasis throughout is on examples to illustrate the many different facets of…

Singular theories, characterised by the presence of degeneracies in their Lagrangian or Hamiltonian descriptions, require the systematic implementation of constraints in order to obtain well-defined dynamics. While the symplectic framework…

This note is an expansion of three lectures given at the workshop "Topology, Complex Analysis and Arithmetic of Hyperbolic Spaces" held at Kyoto University in December of 2006 and will appear in the proceedings for this workshop.

These notes combine material from short lecture courses given in Paris, France, in July 2001 and in Srni, the Czech Republic, in January 2003. They discuss groups of symplectomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds (M,\om) from various…

We consider several algebras that arise in the study of the mapping class group (by means of topology and Hodge theory) and describe their symplectic-invariant parts in terms of algebras on trivalent graphs.

The main purpose of this paper is to give a topological and symplectic classification of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems in terms of characteristic classes and other local and global invariants.

We consider two categories related to symplectic manifolds: 1. Objects are symplectic manifolds and morphisms are symplectic embeddings. 2. Objects are symplectic manifolds endowed with compatible almost complex structure and morphisms are…
