Let C be the contact structure naturally induced on the lens space L(p,q) by the standard contact structure on the three--sphere. We obtain a complete classification of the symplectic fillings of (L(p,q),C) up to orientation-preserving…
The geometric theory of pseudo-differential and Fourier Integral Operators relies on the symplectic structure of cotangent bundles. If one is to study calculi with some specific feature adapted to a geometric situation, the corresponding…
We provide generalizations of the notions of Atiyah class and Kodaira-Spencer map to the case of framed sheaves. Moreover, we construct closed two-forms on the moduli spaces of framed sheaves on surfaces. As an application, we define a…
A new set of elementary symplectic elements is described, It is shown that these also generate the elementary symplectic group {\rm ESp}$_{2n}(R)$. These generators are more symmetrical than the usual ones, and are useful to study the…
We prove that every compact complex surface with odd first Betti number admits a locally conformally symplectic $2$-form which tames the underlying almost complex structure.
Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a rank-2 vector bundle over an elliptic curve $E$, decomposable as a sum of line bundles of degrees $d'>d\ge 2$, and $\mathcal{L}$ the determinant of $\mathcal{E}$. The subspace $L(\mathcal{E})\subset…
We study the symplectic reduction of the phase space describing $k$ particles in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with total angular momentum zero. This corresponds to the singular symplectic quotient associated to the diagonal action of $\operatorname{O}_n$…
We construct an infinite-dimensional symplectic 2-groupoid as the integration of an exact Courant algebroid. We show that every integrable Dirac structure integrates to a "Lagrangian" sub-2-groupoid of this symplectic 2-groupoid. As a…
We prove a nonsemisimple quantum version of Howe's duality with the rank 2n symplectic and the rank 2 special linear group acting on the exterior algebra of type C. We also discuss the first steps towards the symplectic analog of harmonic…
The characteristic map for the symmetric group is an isomorphism relating the representation theory of the symmetric group to symmetric functions. An analogous isomorphism is constructed for the symmetric space of symplectic forms over a…
Let $K$ be a compact group. For a symplectic quotient $M_{\lambda}$ of a compact Hamiltonian K\"ahler $K$-manifold, we show that the induced complex structure on $M_{\lambda}$ is locally invariant when the parameter $\lambda$ varies in…
Let $\Omega$ be a non-singular syplectic form on some vector space $V$. Denote by $S^{n}_{k}(\Omega)$ the set of all $k$-dimensional planes $s$ in $V$ such that the restriction of $\Omega$ onto $s$ is singular. For the cases when $k=2,n-2$…
In the Hilbert space of n qubits, we introduce the symplectic space (n odd) and the orthogonal space (n even) via the spin-flip operator. Under this mathematical structure we discuss some properties of n qubits, including homomorphically…
An introduction to $N=2$ rigid and local supersymmetry is given. The construction of the actions of vector multiplets is reviewed, defining special K\"ahler manifolds. Symplectic transformations lead to either isometries or symplectic…
The moduli space of solutions to the vortex equations on a Riemann surface are well known to have a symplectic (in fact K\"{a}hler) structure. We show this symplectic structure explictly and proceed to show a family of symplectic (in fact,…
In this paper we compute the homotopy groups of the symplectomorphism groups of the 3-, 4- and 5-point blow-ups of the projective plane (considered as monotone symplectic Del Pezzo surfaces). Along the way, we need to compute the homotopy…
In this paper, certain natural and elementary polygonal objects in Euclidean space, {\it the stable polygons}, are introduced, and the novel moduli spaces ${\bfmit M}_{{\bf r}, \epsilon}$ of stable polygons are constructed as complex…
We determine the algebraic and transcendental lattices of a general cubic fourfold with a symplectic automorphism of prime order. We prove that cubic fourfolds admitting a symplectic automorphism of order at least three are rational, and we…
Let $K$ be a compact Lie group with complexification $G$, and let $V$ be a unitary $K$-module. We consider the real symplectic quotient $M_0$ at level $0$ of the homogeneous quadratic moment map as well as the complex symplectic quotient,…
We prove that any coadjoint orbit with real eigenvalues of a complex semisimple Lie group, equipped with the real part of the canonical holomorphic symplectic form, is symplectomorphic to the cotangent bundle of a (partial) flag manifold.…
