In this paper we construct complex contact structures on $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$ for any $n\ge 1$ with the property that every holomorphic Legendrian map $\mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$ is constant. In particular, these contact structures are…
We investigate the reduction process of a k-symplectic field theory whose Lagrangian is invariant under a symmetry group. We give explicit coordinate expressions of the resulting reduced partial differential equations, the so-called…
In this article we show that in any dimension there exist infinitely many pairs of formally contact isotopic isocontact embeddings into the standard contact sphere which are not contact isotopic. This is the first example of rigidity for…
It is shown that integrability is an accidental property of generic two-dimensional $O(2)$-symmetric asymptotically-free theories in the regime where the charge density is much larger than the dynamical scale. We show this by constructing…
We consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…
A complete embedding is a symplectic embedding $\iota:Y\to M$ of a geometrically bounded symplectic manifold $Y$ into another geometrically bounded symplectic manifold $M$ of the same dimension. When $Y$ satisfies an additional finiteness…
In this article we explain that several integrable mechanical billiards in the plane are connected via conformal transformations. We first remark that the free billiard in the plane are conformal equivalent to infinitely many billiard…
We present the first examples of elements in the fundamental group of the space of Legendrian links in the standard contact 3-sphere whose action on the Legendrian contact DGA is of infinite order. This allows us to construct the first…
In this paper we show that the singular locus of a Legendrian foliation as defined in [Hua13] is a compact submanifold whose connected components are of codimension at most two. As a consequence, given any closed $(n+1)$-dimensional…
This paper deals with the following question: which manifolds can be realized as leaves of codimension-1 symplectic foliations on closed manifolds? We first observe that leaves of symplectic foliations are necessarily strongly geometrically…
Lagrangian multiforms provide a variational framework for describing integrable hierarchies. This thesis presents two approaches for systematically constructing Lagrangian one-forms, which cover the case of finite-dimensional integrable…
A rigorous foundation for the contact homology of Legendrian submanifolds in a contact manifold of the form $P\times \R$ where $P$ is an exact symplectic manifold is established. The class of such contact manifolds include 1-jet spaces of…
In this paper, we study singularities of the Lagrangian fibration given by a completely integrable system. We prove that a non-degenerate singular fibre satisfying the so-called connectedness condition is structurally stable under (small…
We consider the equilibrium equations for a conducting elastic rod placed in a uniform magnetic field, motivated by the problem of electrodynamic space tethers. When expressed in body coordinates the equations are found to sit in a…
Motivated by work of the first author, this paper studies symplectic embedding problems of lagrangian products that are sufficiently symmetric. In general, lagrangian products arise naturally in the study of billiards. The main result of…
The classical Arnold-Liouville theorem describes the geometry of an integrable Hamiltonian system near a regular level set of the moment map. Our results describe it near a nondegenerate singular level set: a tubular neighborhood of a…
The presence of chiral modes on the edges of quantum Hall samples is essential to our understanding of the quantum Hall effect. In particular, these edge modes should support ballistic transport and therefore, in a single particle picture,…
Let $\lambda$ be a Legendrian link in standard contact $\mathbb{R}^3$, such that $L_1$, $L_2$ are two exact fillings of $\lambda$ and $\varphi$ is a Legendrian loop of $\lambda$. We study fillability and isotopy characterizations of…
We find explicitly all bi-umbilical foliated semi-symmetric hypersurfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space.
It is widely believed that consistent theories of quantum gravity satisfy two basic kinematic constraints: they are free from any global symmetry, and they contain a complete spectrum of gauge charges. For compact, abelian gauge groups,…
