For a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ with a $\spinc$ structure $\s$, we show that simple algebraic manipulations of our construction of equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology lead to a collection of variants which are topological…

This article studies the symplectic cohomology of affine algebraic surfaces that admit a compactification by a normal crossings anticanonical divisor. Using a toroidal structure near the compactification divisor, we describe the complex…

We prove that Floer theory induces a filtration by ideals on equivariant quantum cohomology of symplectic manifolds equipped with a $\mathbb{C}^*$-action. In particular, this gives rise to Hilbert-Poincar\'e polynomials on ordinary…

In this paper, we use Floer theory to study the Hofer length functional for paths of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms which are sufficiently short. In particular, the length minimizing properties of a short Hamiltonian path are related to the…

We study the contact Floer homology ${\rm HF}_*(W, h)$ introduced by Merry-Uljarevi\'c, which associates a Floer-type homology theory to a Liouville domain $W$ and a contact Hamiltonian $h$ on its boundary. The main results investigate the…

The Nadler--Zaslow correspondence famously identifies the finite-dimensional Floer homology groups between Lagrangians in cotangent bundles with the finite-dimensional Hom spaces between corresponding constructible sheaves. We generalize…

We extend Floer theory for monotone Lagrangians to allow coefficients in local systems of arbitrary rank. Unlike the rank 1 case, this is often obstructed by Maslov 2 discs. We study exactly what the obstruction is and define some natural…

Let (M,w) be a compact symplectic manifold, and L a compact, embedded Lagrangian submanifold in M. Fukaya, Oh, Ohta and Ono construct Lagrangian Floer cohomology for such M,L, yielding groups HF^*(L,b;\Lambda) for one Lagrangian or…

In various situations in Floer theory, one extracts homological invariants from "Morse-Bott" data in which the "critical set" is a union of manifolds, and the moduli spaces of "flow lines" have evaluation maps taking values in the critical…

Schwarz showed that when a closed symplectic manifold (M,\om) is symplectically aspherical (i.e. the symplectic form and the first Chern class vanish on \pi_2(M)) then the spectral invariants, which are initially defined on the universal…

We extend the pseudoholomorphic curve methods from Floer theory to infinite-dimensional phase spaces and use our results to prove the existence of a forced time-periodic solution to a general Hamiltonian PDE with regularizing nonlinearity.…

In this short note we show how Dubrovin's integrable hierarchies, defined using the Gromov-Witten theory of a closed symplectic manifold, generalizes to Hamiltonian Floer theory. In particular, we show how the required generalization of the…

We give an explicit computation of the ring structure in wrapped Floer homology of a class of real Lagrangians in $A_k$-type Milnor fibers. In the $A_k$-type plumbing description, those Lagrangians correspond to the cotangent fibers or the…

Every oriented 4-manifold admits a folded symplectic structure, which in turn determines a homotopy class of compatible almost complex structures that are discontinuous across the folding hypersurface ("fold") in a controlled fashion. We…
