We establish connections between contact isometry groups of certain contact manifolds and compactly supported symplectomorphism groups of their symplectizations. We apply these results to investigate the space of symplectic embeddings of…

We show that a topological symplectic manifold has a canonically associated bi-Lipschitz structure. As a corollary, we obtain the first examples of non-existence and non-uniqueness for topological symplectic structures. Our arguments hold…

We consider stabilities for the weighted length or energy functional of a discrete map from a finite weighted graph $(X,m_{E})$ into a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We prove the non-existence of a stable discrete minimal immersion or…

Let $(X, J)$ be a complex manifold with a non-degenerated smooth $d$-closed $(1,1)$-form $\omega$. Then we have a natural double complex $\overline{\partial}+\overline{\partial}^\Lambda$, where $\overline{\partial}^\Lambda$ denotes the…

A key question for $4$-manifolds $M$ admitting symplectic structures is to determine which cohomology classes $\alpha\in H^2(M,\mathbb R)$ admit a symplectic representative. The collection of all such classes, the symplectic cone $\mathcal…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a symplectic rational 4 manifold. We study the space of tamed almost complex structures $\mathcal{J}_{\omega}$ using a fine decomposition via smooth rational curves and a relative version of the infinite-dimensional…

We show that a closed weakly-monotone symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ which has minimal Chern number greater than or equal to $n+1$ and admits a Hamiltonian toric pseudo-rotation is necessarily monotone and its quantum homology is…

We prove a structure theorem for compact aspherical Lorentz manifolds with abundant local symmetry. If M is a compact, aspherical, real-analytic, complete Lorentz manifold such that the isometry group of the universal cover has semisimple…

Given a projective sequence of Banach bundles, each one provided with a of weak symplectic form, we look for conditions under which, the corresponding sequence of weak symplectic forms gives rise to weak symplectic form on the projective…

After reviewing recent results on symplectic Lefschetz pencils and symplectic branched covers of CP^2, we describe a new construction of maps from symplectic manifolds of any dimension to CP^2 and the associated monodromy invariants. We…

By a Liouville structure on a symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ we mean a choice of symplectic potential: that is, a choice of one-form $\theta$ on $M$ such that ${\rm d} \theta = \omega$. We determine precisely all the automorphisms of a…

Let M be the cotangent bundle of S^2, with the standard symplectic structure. By adapting an argument of Gromov we determine the weak homotopy type of the group S of those symplectic automorphisms of M which are trivial at infinity. It…

We prove that on a compact Sasakian manifold $(M, \eta, g)$ of dimension $2n+1$, for any $0 \le p \le n$ the wedge product with $\eta \wedge (d\eta)^p$ defines an isomorphism between the spaces of harmonic forms $\Omega^{n-p}_\Delta (M)$…

We construct a local characteristic map to a symplectic manifold M via certain cohomology groups of Hamiltonian vector fields. For each p in M, the Leibniz cohomology of the Hamiltonian vector fields on R^{2n} maps to the Leibniz cohomology…

Let $\M$ be a classical Riemannian globally symmetric space of rank one and non-compact type. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps into $\M$ with prescribed singularities along a…

Recently it has been argued, that Poincar\'{e} supersymmetric field theories admit an underlying loop space hamiltonian (symplectic) structure. Here shall establish this at the level of a general $N=1$ supermultiplet. In particular, we…

We show, by an elementary and explicit construction, that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of certain symplectic manifolds, endowed with Hofer's metric, contains subgroups quasi-isometric to Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension.

We introduce the concepts of a multisymplectic structure and a polysymplectic structure on a general fiber bundle over a general base manifold, define the concept of the symbol of a multisymplectic form, which is a polysymplectic form…

We exhibit two three-parameter families of locally conformal symplectic forms on the solvmanifold $M_{n,k}$ considered in [1], and show, using the Hodge-de Rham theory for the Lichnerowicz cohomology that that they are not $d_{\omega}$…

We examine how symplectic cohomology may be used as an invariant on symplectic structures, and investigate the non-uniqueness of these structures on Liouville domains, a field which has seen much development in the past decade. Notably, we…
