We prove a generalization of the Conley conjecture: Every Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed symplectic manifold has infinitely many periodic orbits if the first Chern class vanishes over the second fundamental group. In particular, we…
We explicitly construct a symplectomorphism that relates magnetic twists to the invariant hyperk\"ahler structure of the tangent bundle of a Hermitian symmetric space. This symplectomorphism reveals foliations by (pseudo-) holomorphic…
In this paper we find connection between the Hofer's metric of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold, with an integral symplectic form, and the geometry, defined in a paper by Eliashberg and Polterovich,…
Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. For each hyperbolic metric $g$ on $M$ such that $\dr M$ is smooth and strictly convex, the induced metric on $\dr M$…
For a class of symplectic manifolds, we introduce a functional which assigns a real number to any pair of continuous functions on the manifold. This functional has a number of interesting properties. On the one hand, it is Lipschitz with…
In this paper we study a version of the Hermitian curvature flow (HCF). We focus on complex homogeneous manifolds equipped with induced metrics. We prove that this finite-dimensional space of metrics is invariant under the HCF and write…
We consider Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms $\phi$ of the unit cotangent bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ which extend to Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $T^*M$ equal to the time-1-map of the geodesic flow for $|p| \ge 1$. For…
This paper represents a first step towards the extension of the definition of Rabinowitz Floer homology to non-compact energy hypersurfaces in exact symplectic manifolds. More concretely, we study under which conditions it is possible to…
This book offers an introduction to Hofer's metric on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. It presents results on the diameter, geodesics, and the growth of one-parameter subgroups, along with applications to dynamics and ergodic…
Since its inception, Floer homology has been an important tool in low-dimensional topology. Floer theoretic invariants of $3$-manifolds tend to be either gauge theoretic or symplecto-geometric in nature, and there is a general philosophy…
This is a mixture of survey article and research anouncement. We discuss Instanton Floer homology for 3 manifolds with boundary. We also discuss a categorification of the Lagrangian Floer theory using the unobstructed immersed Lagrangian…
We introduce the notion of a symplectic capacity relative to a coisotropic submanifold of a symplectic manifold, and we construct two examples of such capacities through modifications of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity. As a consequence, we…
The main purpose of this paper is to study the length minimizing property of Hamiltonian paths on closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$ such that there are no spherical homology class $A \in H_2(M)$ with $$ \omega(A) > 0 \quad \text{and}…
We find robust obstructions to representing a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism as a full $k$-th power, $k \geq 2,$ and in particular, to including it into a one-parameter subgroup. The robustness is understood in the sense of Hofer's metric. Our…
This paper investigates ways to enlarge the Hamiltonian subgroup Ham of the symplectomorphism group Symp(M) of the symplectic manifold (M, \omega) to a group that both intersects every connected component of Symp(M) and characterizes…
In this article, we study the Hamiltonian dynamics on singular symplectic manifolds and prove the Arnold conjecture for a large class of $b^m$-symplectic manifolds. Novel techniques are introduced to associate smooth symplectic forms to the…
Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary, which admits a convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. We consider the hyperbolic metrics on $M$ such that the boundary is smooth and strictly convex. We show that the induced…
We study the interplay between hyperbolic geometry and monopole Floer homology for a closed oriented three-manifold $Y$ with $b_1=1$ equipped with a torsion spin$^c$ structure $\mathfrak{s}$. We show that, under favorable circumstances, one…
Let $M$ be a complete connected Riemannian manifold of finite volume. In this paper we present a new method of constructing classes in bounded cohomology of transformation groups such as $Homeo_0(M,\mu)$, $Diff_0(M,vol)$ and…
In the setting of symplectic manifolds which are convex at infinity, we use a version of the Aleksandrov maximum principle to derive uniform estimates for Floer solutions that are valid for a wider class of Hamiltonians and almost complex…
