A smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture for six-dimensional symplectic manifolds is found. In particular, we construct a smooth proper function on the symplectic 2n-dimensional vector space, 2n > 4, such that one of…

We present a new methodology for the characterization of the metric entropy of infinite-dimensional ellipsoids with exponentially decaying semi-axes. This procedure does not rely on the explicit construction of coverings or packings and…

In this article we introduce a new method for constructing implicit symplectic maps using special symplectic manifolds and Liouvillian forms. This method extends, in a natural way, the method of generating functions to 1-forms which are…

This paper explains an application of Gromov's h-principle to prove the existence, on any orientable 4-manifold, of a folded symplectic form. That is a closed 2-form which is symplectic except on a separating hypersurface where the form…

We study the symplectic structure of the holomorphic coadjoint orbits, generalizing a theorem of McDuff on the symplectic structure of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type.

Metric embedding is a powerful tool used extensively in mathematics and computer science. We devise a new method of using metric embeddings recursively, which turns out to be particularly effective in $\ell_p$ spaces, $p>2$, yielding…

We study monotonicity and convexity properties of functions arising in the theory of elliptic integrals, and in particular in the case of a Schwarz-Christoffel conformal mapping from a half-plane to a trapezoid. We obtain sharp monotonicity…

We solve the stabilized symplectic embedding problem for four-dimensional ellipsoids into the four-dimensional round ball. The answer is neatly encoded by a piecewise smooth function which exhibits a phase transition from an infinite…

Given a closed symplectic manifold, we construct invariants which count (a) closed rational pseudoholomorphic curves with prescribed cusp singularities and (b) punctured rational pseudoholomorphic curves with ellipsoidal negative ends. We…

We show that the infinite staircases which arise in the ellipsoid embedding functions of rigid del Pezzo surfaces (with their monotone symplectic forms) can be entirely explained in terms of rational sesquicuspidal symplectic curves.…

We consider the configuration space of ordered points on the two-dimensional sphere that satisfy a specific system of quadratic equations. We construct periodic orbits in this configuration space using elliptic theta functions and show that…

This paper surveys the authors recent work on two variable elliptic genus of singular varieties. The last section calculates a generating function for the elliptic genera of symmetric products. This generalizes the classical results of…

A symplectic structure is canonically constructed on any manifold endowed with a topological linear k-system whose fibers carry suitable symplectic data. As a consequence, the classification theory for Lefschetz pencils in the context of…

Symplectic integrator plays a pivotal role in the long-term tracking of charged particles within accelerators. To get symplectic maps in accurate simulation of single-particle trajectories, two key components are addressed: precise…

Motivated by an attempt to better understand the notion of a symplectic stack, we introduce the notion of a symplectic hopfoid, which should be thought of as the analog of a groupoid in the so-called symplectic category. After reviewing…

Given two $2n$--dimensional symplectic ellipsoids whose symplectic sizes satisfy certain inequalities, we show that a certain map from the $n$--torus to the space of symplectic embeddings from one ellipsoid to the other induces an injective…

We show that the imaginary part of the embedding potential, a generalised logarithmic derivative, defined over the interface between an electrical lead and some conductor, has orthogonal eigenfunctions which define conduction channels into…

We give a combinatorial description of the embedded contact complex (ECC) of a certain family of contact toric lens spaces that we call concave lens spaces. We also define a notion of a concave toric domain that generalizes the usual…

We demonstrate under appropriate finiteness conditions that a coarse embedding induces an inequality of homological Dehn functions. Applications of the main results include a characterization of what finitely presentable groups may admit a…

In this paper we present a new embedding of a semigroup into a semiband (idempotent-generated semigroup) of depth 4 (every element is the product of 4 idempotents) using a semidirect product construction. Our embedding does not assume that…
