We obtain upper and lower bounds for the relative Gromov width of Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds. Upper bounds arise from the existence of $J$-holomorphic disks with boundary on the Lagrangian cobordism that pass…

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…

Capacities that provide both qualitative and quantitative obstructions to the existence of a Lagrangian cobordism between two $(n-1)$-dimensional submanifolds in parallel hyperplanes of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ are defined using the theory of…

The classical Gromov width measures the largest symplectic ball embeddable into a symplectic manifold; inspired by the symplectic camel problem, we generalize this to ask how large a symplectic ball can be embedded as a family over a…

Q ball solutions are considered within the theory of a complex scalar field with a gauged U(1) symmetry and a parabolic-type potential. In the thin-walled limit, we show explicitly that there is a maximum size for these objects because of…

Answering a question of Witten, we introduce a novel method for defining an integral version of Lagrangian Floer homology, removing the standard restriction that the Lagrangians in question must be relatively Pin. Using this technique, we…

We provide an upper bound on the Lagrangian Hofer distance between equators in the cylinder in terms of the barcode of persistent Floer homology. The bound consists of a weighted sum of the lengths of the finite bars and the spectral…

In this paper we use Floer theory to study topological restrictions on Lagrangian embeddings in closed symplectic manifolds. One of the phenomena arising from our results is ``homological rigidity'' of Lagrangian submanifolds. Namely, in…

We study the following rigidity problem in symplectic geometry:can one displace a Lagrangian submanifold from a hypersurface? We relate this to the Arnold Chord Conjecture, and introduce a refined question about the existence of relative…

We investigate the question of whether the spectral metric on the orbit space of a fiber in the disk cotangent bundle of a closed manifold, under the action of the compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group, is bounded. We utilize…

We define an invariant $l(M,W,\omega)$ for Lagrangian submanifold and prove that if the Lagrangian submanifold is embedded in the ball of radius $r_0$, then $l(M,W,\Omega)$ must be smaller than $4\pi t_0^2$. This improves Gromov's…

We use spectral invariants in Lagrangian Floer theory in order to show that there exist \emph{isometric} embeddings of normed linear spaces (finite or infinite dimensional, depending on the case) into the space of Hamiltonian deformations…

We construct an algebraic version of Lagrangian Floer homology for immersed curves inside the pillowcase. We first associate to the pillowcase an algebra A. Then to an immersed curve L inside the pillowcase we associate an A infinity module…

For a Liouville domain $W$ whose boundary admits a periodic Reeb flow, we can consider the connected component $[\tau] \in \pi_0(\text{Symp}^c(\widehat W))$ of fibered twists. In this paper, we investigate an entropy-type invariant, called…

We prove a tubular neighborhood theorem for an embedded complex geodesic surface in a complex hyperbolic 2-manifold where the width of the tube depends only on the Euler characteristic of the embedded surface. We give an explicit estimate…

This paper introduces the geometry of the open string Floer theory of gauged Landau-Ginzburg model via gauged Witten equations. Given a $G$-invariant Morse-Bott holomorphic function $W$ on a Hamiltonian space $(M,\omega,G),$ Lefschetz…

Let H be the hyperbolic space of dimension n+1. A geodesic foliation of H is given by a smooth unit vector field on H all of whose integral curves are geodesics. Each geodesic foliation of H determines an n-dimensional submanifold M of the…

We examine the $L^2$-topology of the gauge orbits over a closed Riemann surface. We prove a subtle local slice theorem based on the div-curl Lemma of harmonic analysis, and deduce local pathwise connectedness and local uniform…

This is a continuation of part I in the series of the papers on Lagrangian Floer theory on toric manifolds. Using the deformations of Floer cohomology by the ambient cycles, which we call bulk deformations, we find a continuum of…

We establish a criterion on wrapped Floer homology of an exact Lagrangian sub- manifold in a Liouville domain, which ensures the almost-existence of Hamiltonian chords near a given energy level. To this purpose we introduce a relative…
