Working over imperfect fields, we give a comprehensive classification of genus-one curves that are regular but not geometrically regular, extending the known case of geometrically reduced curves. The description is given intrinsically, in…
Chart descriptions are a graphic method to describe monodromy representations of various topological objects. Here we introduce a chart description for hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations, and show that any hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibration…
Floer cohomology groups are usually defined over a field of formal functions (a Novikov field). Under certain assumptions, one can equip them with connections, which means operations of differentiation with respect to the Novikov variable.…
Cartesian fibrations were originally defined by Lurie in the context of quasi-categories and are commonly used in $(\infty,1)$-category theory to study presheaves valued in $(\infty,1)$-categories. In this work we define and study…
A conjecture of Kato says that the monodromy operator on the cohomology of a semi-stable degeneration of projective varieties is represented by an algebraic cycle on the special fiber of a normal crossing model of the fiber product…
We first construct a genus zero positive allowable Lefschetz fibration over the disk (a genus zero PALF for short) on the Akbulut cork and describe the monodromy as a positive factorization in the mapping class group of a surface of genus…
In this article, we present a differential topological construction of symplectic Lefschetz pencils of genus $\frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2}$ with $d^2$ base points and $3(d-1)^2$ critical points for arbitrary $d\geq 4$, analogous to the holomorphic…
We examine the action of the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of a Riemann surface with $m$ punctures on the middle dimensional homology of a regular fiber in a Lefschetz fibration, and describe to what extent this action can be recovered from…
We prove that if a contact 3-manifold admits an open book decomposition of genus 0, a certain intersection pattern cannot appear in the homology of any of its minimal symplectic fillings, and moreover, fillings cannot contain symplectic…
A symplectic fibration is a fibre bundle in the symplectic category. We find the relation between deformation quantization of the base and the fibre, and the total space. We use the weak coupling form of Guillemin, Lerman, Sternberg and…
In this article we study proper symplectic and iso-symplectic embeddings of $4$--manifolds in $6$--manifolds. We show that a closed orientable smooth $4$--manifold admitting a Lefschetz fibration over $\C P^1$ admits a symplectic embedding…
Symplectic Lefschetz fibrations can be described via classifying maps with values in the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of curves, by means of constructions relying on symplectic geometry. In this note we prove the…
In mirror symmetry, symplectic Landau-Ginzburg models are mirror to a large class of examples, in particular to Fano varieties and hypersurfaces of many Calabi-Yau and Fano varieties. When studying their Fukaya categories on the A-model in…
We construct a relation among right-handed Dehn twists in the mapping class group of a compact oriented surface of genus g with 4g+4 boundary components. This relation gives an explicit topological description of 4g+4 disjoint (-1)-sections…
We describe all abelian groups which can appear as the fundamental groups of closed symplectically aspherical manifolds. The proofs use the theory of symplectic Lefschetz fibrations.
We develop the Lefschetz fixed-point theory for noncompact manifolds of bounded geometry and uniformly continuous maps. Specifically, we define the uniform Lefschetz class $\mathscr{L}(f)$ of a uniformly continuous map $f\colon M\to M$ of a…
This paper classifies Lagrangian fibrations over surfaces with compact total spaces up to fiberwise symplectomorphism identical on the base.
Spinal open book decompositions provide a natural generalization of open book decompositions. We show that any minimal symplectic filling of a contact 3-manifold supported by a planar spinal open book is deformation equivalent to the…
In this paper we study a special class of fibrations on Delsarte surfaces. We call these fibrations Delsarte fibrations. We show that after a specific cyclic base change the fibration is the pull back of a fibration with three singular…
In this paper, we study `a fibration of metric spaces' that was originally introduced by Leinster in the study of the magnitude and called metric fibrations. He showed that the magnitude of a metric fibration splits into the product of…
