In this paper, we study deformations of coisotropic submanifolds in a symplectic manifold. First we derive the equation that governs $C^\infty$ deformations of coisotropic submanifolds and define the corresponding $C^\infty$-moduli space of…

We study how a gluing construction, which produces compact manifolds with holonomy G_2 from matching pairs of asymptotically cylindrical G_2-manifolds, behaves under deformations. We show that the gluing construction defines a smooth map…

We construct a compact formal 7-manifold with a closed $G_2$-structure and with first Betti number $b_1=1$, which does not admit any torsion-free $G_2$-structure, that is, it does not admit any $G_2$-structure such that the holonomy group…

Given a compact symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ and a compact Lagrangian submanifold $L\subset(M,\omega)$, we describe small deformations of the pair $(\omega,L)$ modulo the action by isotopies. We show that the resulting moduli space can…

Here we study the deformations of associative submanifolds inside a G_2 manifold M^7 with a calibration 3-form \phi. A choice of 2-plane field \Lambda on M (which always exits) splits the tangent bundle of M as a direct sum of a…
