We establish the relationship between folded symplectic forms and convex hypersurface theory in contact topology. As an application, we use convex hypersurface theory to reprove and strengthen the existence result for folded symplectic…

The paper explores some algebraic constructions arising in the theory of Lefschetz fibrations. Specifically, it covers in a fair amount of detail the algebraic issues outlined in ``Symplectic homology as Hochschild homology''…

The lifting problem for continuous bi-equivariant maps and bi-equivariant covering homotopies is considered, which leads to the notion of a bi-equivariant fibration. An intrinsic characteristic of a bi-equivariant Hurewicz fibration is…

These notes are intended to be an introduction to the use of approximately holomorphic techniques in almost contact and contact geometry. We develop the setup of the approximately holomorphic geometry. Once done, we sketch the existence of…

We construct open symplectic manifolds which are convex at infinity ("Liouville manifolds") and which are diffeomorphic, but not symplectically isomorphic, to cotangent bundles T^*S^{n+1}, for any n+1 \geq 3. These manifolds are constructed…

In this paper, we develop the theory for classifying all the geometric fibrations of compact, connected, flat $n$-orbifolds, over a 1-orbifold, up to affine equivalence. We apply our classification theory to classify all the geometric…

For an algebraic K3 surface with complex multiplication (CM), algebraic fibres of the associated twistor space away from the equator are again of CM type. In this paper, we show that algebraic fibres corresponding to points at the same…

We formally introduce and study Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the $n$-dimensional Hartogs triangle. We find a precise relation between these operators and the Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the unit polydisc $\mathbb…

A Lefschetz module is a module over a graded algebra $A$ that satisfies analogues of Poincar\'{e} duality, the Hard Lefschetz property, and the Hodge--Riemann relations with respect to an open convex cone $\mathscr{K}$ in the degree one…

The symmetrized bidisc has been a rich field of holomorphic function theory and operator theory. A certain well-known reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the symmetrized bidisc resembles the Hardy space of the unit…

We prove a Lefschetz hypersurface theorem for abelian fundamental groups allowing wild ramification along some divisor. In fact, we show that isomorphism holds if the degree of the hypersurface is large relative to the ramification along…

We consider the family of constant curvature fiber metrics for a Lefschetz fibration with regular fibers of genus greater than one. A result of Obitsu and Wolpert is refined by showing that on an appropriate resolution of the total space,…

In this article, we study the weak and strong Lefschetz of higher dimensional quotients and dimension 1 almost complete intersections. We then apply the obtained results to the study of the Jacobian algebra of hyperplane arrangements.

This paper classifies Lagrangian fibrations over surfaces with compact total spaces up to fiberwise symplectomorphism identical on the base.

We prove that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere has infinite diameter with respect to Hofer's metric. Our approach is based on the theory of Lagrangian intersections.

The well-known fact that any genus $g$ symplectic Lefschetz fibration $ X^{4}\to S^{2}$ is given by a word that is equal to the identity element in the mapping class group and each of whose elements is given by a positive Dehn twist,…

In this article, we discuss the Lefschetz trace formula for an adic space which is separated smooth of finite type but not necessarily proper over an algebraically closed non-archimedean field. Under a certain condition on the absence of…

We show that only finitely many links in a closed 3-manifold share the same complement, up to twists along discs and annuli. Using the same techniques, we prove that by adding 2-handles on the same link we get only finitely many smooth…

In this paper we introduce new spaces of holomorphic functions on the pointed unit disc of $\mathbb C$ that generalize classical Bergman spaces. We prove some fundamental properties of these spaces and their dual spaces. We finish the paper…

This article investigates a simple kinematical model of a disc (Disc B) rolling on the edge of a fixed disc (Disc A) to study the geometric nature of rotation. The total rotation angle $\Delta$ of Disc B after one cycle is decomposed into a…
