We investigate leaf-wise intersection points on hypersurfaces of contact type in monotone symplectic manifolds. We show that monotone Floer-essential Lagrangians detect periodic leaf-wise intersection points in hypersurfaces of contact type…

We investigate the geometry of the graphs of nonseparating curves for surfaces of finite positive genus with potentially infinitely many punctures. This graph has infinite diameter and is known to be Gromov hyperbolic by work of the author.…

We investigate space curves with large cohomology. To this end we introduce curves of subextremal type. This class includes all subextremal curves. Based on geometric and numerical characterizations of curves of subextremal type, we show…

We consider the class of quasiprojective varieties admitting a dominant morphism onto a curve with negative Euler characteristic. The existence of such a morphism is a property of the fundamental group. We show that for a variety in this…

We define a family of symplectic invariants which obstruct exact symplectic embeddings between Liouville manifolds, using the general formalism of linearized contact homology and its L-infinity structure. As our primary application, we…

The study of multivariate extremes is dominated by multivariate regular variation, although it is well known that this approach does not provide adequate distinction between random vectors whose components are not always simultaneously…

The purpose of this short note is to study dominant rational maps from punctual Hilbert schemes of length $k>1$ of projective K3 surfaces $S$ containing infinitely many rational curves. Precisely, we prove that their image is necessarily…

We study invariants coming from certain optimisation problems for nef divisors on surfaces. These optimisation problems arise in work of the author and collaborators tying obstructions to embeddings between symplectic 4-manifolds to…

Motivated by the power of subregion/subregion duality for constraining the bulk geometry in gauge/gravity duality, we pursue a comprehensive and systematic approach to the behavior of extremal surfaces under perturbations. Specifically, we…

Necessary conditions for existence of normal extremals in optimal control of systems subject to nonholonomic constraints are derived as solutions of a constrained second order variational problems. In this work, a geometric interpretation…

We explore some intersection properties of divisors associated to polarized dynamical systems on algebraic surfaces. As a consequence, we obtain necessary geometric conditions for the existence of polarizations of hyperbolic type and…

Let $\mathscr{K}(G)$ be the rational cone generated by pairs $(\lambda, \mu)$ where $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are dominant integral weights and $\mu$ is a nontrivial weight space in the representation $V_{\lambda}$ of $G$. We produce all extremal…

By a $B$-regular variety, we mean a smooth projective variety over $C$ admitting an algebraic action of the upper triangular Borel subgroup $B \subset SL_2(C)$ such that the unipotent radical in $B$ has a unique fixed point. A result of M.…

We describe MBM classes for irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds of K3 and Kummer types. These classes are the monodromy images of extremal rational curves which give the faces of the nef cone of some birational model. We study the…

We prove a version of the Arnol'd conjecture for Lagrangian submanifolds of conformal symplectic manifolds: a Lagrangian $L$ which has non-zero Morse-Novikov homology for the restriction of the Lee form $\beta$ cannot be disjoined from…

We study balls of homogeneous cubics on $\mathbb R^n$, $n = 2,3$, which are bounded by unity on the unit sphere. For $n = 2$ we completely describe the facial structure of this norm ball, while for $n = 3$ we classify all extremal points…

We show there is a symplectic conifold transition of a projective 3-fold which is not deformation equivalent to any Kaehler manifold. The key ingredient is Mori's classification of extremal rays on smooth projective 3-folds. It follows that…

We study the relative symplectic cohomology with the help of an index bounded contact form. For a Liouville domain with an index bounded boundary, we construct a spectral sequence which starts from its classical symplectic cohomology and…
