We introduce new finite-dimensional cohomologies on symplectic manifolds. Each exhibits Lefschetz decomposition and contains a unique harmonic representative within each class. Associated with each cohomology is a primitive cohomology…
Given a symplectic manifold (M, {\omega}) and a Lagrangian submanifold L, we construct versions of the symplectic blow-up and blow-down which are defined relative to L. Furthermore, we show that if M admits an anti-symplectic involution…
We compare Hofer's geometries on two spaces associated with a closed symplectic manifold M. The first space is the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The second space L consists of all Lagrangian submanifolds of $M \times M$ which are…
This paper shows that there are symplectic four-manifolds M with the following property: a single isotopy class of smooth embedded two-spheres in M contains infinitely many Lagrangian submanifolds, no two of which are isotopic as Lagrangian…
We consider various constructions of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds of $C P^n, S^2\times S^2$, and quadric hypersurfaces of $C P^n$. In $S^2\times S^2$ and $C P^2$ we show that several different known constructions of exotic monotone tori…
We provide some constructions using Lagrangian cobordisms which improve known examples for some symplectic squeezing problems. Additionally, we prove a flexibility result that Lagrangian submanifolds which are Lagrangian isotopic are also…
Let L be a D-dimensional submanifold of a 2D-dimensional exact symplectic manifold (M, w) and let f be a symplectic diffeomorphism onf M. In this article, we deal with the link between the dynamics of f restricted to L and the geometry of L…
We study the topology of Lagrangian submanifolds in standard symplectic vector spaces $\mathbb{C}^n$ using ideas from open-closed string topology. Specifically, for a closed, oriented, spin Lagrangian $L$, we construct a (possibly curved)…
Our main result is the $\mathcal{C}^0$-rigidity of the area spectrum and the Maslov class of Lagrangian submanifolds. This relies on the existence of punctured pseudoholomorphic discs in cotangent bundles with boundary on the zero section,…
In this paper we consider symplectic and Hamiltonian structures of systems generated by actions of sigma-model type and show that these systems are naturally connected with specific symplectic geometry on loop spaces of Riemannian and…
We extend constructions and results of Damian to get topological obstructions to the existence of closed monotone Lagrangian embeddings into the cotangent bundle of a space which is the total space of a fibration over the circle.
We discuss symplectic manifolds where, locally, the structure is that encountered in Lagrangian dynamics. Exemples and characteristic properties are given. Then, we refer to the computation of the Maslov classes of a Lagrangian submanifold.…
We construct infinitely many Legendrian links in the standard contact $\mathbb{R}^3$ with arbitrarily many topologically distinct Lagrangian fillings. The construction is used to find links in $S^3$ that bound topologically distinct pieces…
We study the rigidity of compact submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary codimension that satisfy a sharp pinching condition involving the norm of the second fundamental form and the mean curvature. Without assuming that the…
Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^m$ be a polytope of dimension $m$ with $n$ facets. Assume that $P$ is Delzant and Fano. We associate a monotone embedded Lagrangian $L \subset \mathbb{C}P^{n-1}$ to $P$. As an abstract manifold, the Lagrangian $L$…
This paper is devoted to deformations of Lagrangian submanifolds contained in the singular locus of a log-symplectic manifold. We prove a normal form result for the log-symplectic structure around such a Lagrangian, which we use to extract…
We classify weakly exact, rational Lagrangian tori in $T^* \mathbb{T}^2- 0_{\mathbb{T}^2}$ up to Hamiltonian isotopy. This result is related to the classification theory of closed $1$-forms on $\mathbb{T}^n$ and also has applications to…
This paper studies the question of when a loop $\phi$ in the group Symp$(M,\omega)$ of symplectomorphisms of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ is isotopic to a loop that is generated by a time-dependent Hamiltonian function. (Loops with…
Lagrangian multiform theory is a variational framework for integrable systems. In this article we introduce a new formulation which is based on symplectic geometry and which treats position, momentum and time coordinates of a…
