We establish connections between contact isometry groups of certain contact manifolds and compactly supported symplectomorphism groups of their symplectizations. We apply these results to investigate the space of symplectic embeddings of…

In this article, we consider the following capacitated covering problem. We are given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $\mathcal{B}$ of balls from some metric space, and a positive integer $U$ that represents the capacity of each of the…

General results on convex bodies are reviewed and used to derive an exact closed-form parametric formula for the boundary of the geometric (Minkowski) sum of $k$ ellipsoids in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. Previously this was done…

We study the smallest intersecting and enclosing ball problems in Euclidean spaces for input objects that are compact and convex. They link and unify many problems in computational geometry and machine learning. We show that both problems…

The isometric embeddings $\ell_{2;K}^m\to\ell_{p;K}^n$ ($m\geq 2$, $p\in 2\N$) over a field $K\in{R, C, H}$ are considered, and an upper bound for the minimal $n$ is proved. In the commutative case ($K\neq H$) the bound was obtained by…

In this note, we prove that below the first critical energy level, a proper combination of the Ligon-Schaaf and Levi-Civita regularization mappings provides a convex symplectic embedding of the energy surfaces of the planar rotating Kepler…

This paper continues the study of the ellipsoid embedding function of symplectic Hirzebruch surfaces parametrized by $b \in (0,1)$, the size of the symplectic blow-up. Cristofaro-Gardiner, et al. (arxiv: 2004.13062) found that if the…

We classify four-dimensional manifolds endowed with symplectic pairs admitting embedded symplectic spheres with non-negative self-intersection, following the strategy of McDuff's classification of rational and ruled symplectic four…

A smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture for six-dimensional symplectic manifolds is found. In particular, we construct a smooth proper function on the symplectic 2n-dimensional vector space, 2n > 4, such that one of…

For each k > 0 we find an explicit function f_k such that the topology of S inside the ball B(p,r) is `bounded' by f_k(r) for every complete Riemannian surface (compact or noncompact) with K\geq -k^2, every point p on the surface, and every…

The classical Heawood inequality states that if the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices is embeddable in the sphere with $g$ handles, then $g \ge\dfrac{(n-3)(n-4)}{12}$. A higher-dimensional analogue of the Heawood inequality is the…

We give a sufficient condition for branched minimal immersions of spheres into ellipsoids to be embedded: we show that if the coordinate functions of the branched minimal immersion are first or second eigenfunctions with respect to a…

This article investigates, by probabilistic methods, various geometric questions on B_p^n, the unit ball of \ell_p^n. We propose realizations in terms of independent random variables of several distributions on B_p^n, including the…

The symplectic isotopy conjecture states that every smooth symplectic surface in $CP^2$ is symplectically isotopic to a complex algebraic curve. Progress began with Gromov's pseudoholomorphic curves [Gro85], and progressed further…

Using a basic idea of Sullivan's rational homotopy theory, one can see a Lie groupoid as the fundamental groupoid of its Lie algebroid. This paper studies analogues of Lie algebroids with non-trivial higher homotopy. Using various homotopy…

We say a map f:X \to Y is an \epsilon-embedding if it is continuous and the diameter of the fibres is less than \epsilon. This type of maps is used in the notion of Urysohn width (sometimes referred to as Alexandrov width), a_n(X). It is…

The rational homology balls $B_n$ appeared in Fintushel and Stern's rational blow-down construction [FS] and were subsequently used (e.g. Fintushel-Stern[FS4], Park[Pa2]) to construct exotic smooth manifolds with small Euler numbers. We…

In this survey, we discuss volumetric and combinatorial results concerning (mostly finite) intersections or unions of balls (mostly of equal radii) in the $d$-dimensional real vector space, mostly equipped with the Euclidean norm. Our first…

ECH (embedded contact homology) capacities give obstructions to symplectically embedding one four-dimensional symplectic manifold with boundary into another. These obstructions are known to be sharp when the domain and target are ellipsoids…
