In this article we apply the technique of Luttinger surgery to study the complexity of the fundamental group of symplectic $4$-manifolds with holomorphic Euler number $\chi_h=1$. We discuss the topology of symplectic $4$-manifolds with…

Using a basic idea of Sullivan's rational homotopy theory, one can see a Lie groupoid as the fundamental groupoid of its Lie algebroid. This paper studies analogues of Lie algebroids with non-trivial higher homotopy. Using various homotopy…

We describe the minimal number of critical points and the minimal number $s$ of singular fibres for a non isotrivial fibration of a surface $S$ over a curve $B$ of genus $1$, constructing a fibration with $s=1$ and irreducible singular…

This is the first of two papers devoted to showing how the rich algebraic formalism of Eliashberg-Givental-Hofer's symplectic field theory (SFT) can be used to define higher algebraic structures on the symplectic cohomology of open…

We construct a spectral sequence converging to symplectic homology of a Lefschetz fibration whose E1 page is related to Floer homology of the monodromy symplectomorphism and its iterates. We use this to show the existence of fixed points of…

We prove that if the fundamental group of an arbitrary three-manifold -- not necessarily closed, nor orientable -- is a Kaehler group, then it is either finite or the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface.

We compute the Floer homology of mapping classes which do not have any pseudo-Anosov components in the sense of Thurston's theory of surface diffeomorphisms. The formula for the Floer homology is obtained from a topological separation of…

The main aim of this paper is the description of a large class of lattices in some nilpotent Lie groups, sometimes filiformes, carrying a flat left invariant linear connection anf often a left invariant symplectic form. As a consequence we…

We discuss $C^0$-continuous homogeneous quasi-morphisms on the identity component of the group of compactly supported symplectomorphisms of a symplectic manifold. Such quasi-morphisms extend to the $C^0$-closure of this group inside the…

We describe a connection between symplectic Floer homology for symplectomorphisms of surface and Nielsen fixed point theory. A new zeta functions and asymptotic invariant of symplectic origin are defined. We show that special values of…

This paper studies the self-Floer theory of a monotone Lagrangian submanifold $L$ of a symplectic manifold $X$ in the presence of various kinds of symmetry. First we suppose $L$ is $K$-homogeneous and compute the image of low codimension…

We study the Floer-theoretic interaction between disjointly supported Hamiltonians by comparing Floer-theoretic invariants of these Hamiltonians with the ones of their sum. These invariants include spectral invariants, boundary depth and…

We study generators of the fundamental group of the group of symplectomorphisms $\mathrm{Symp}({\mathbb C\mathbb P}^2\#\,5\overline{\mathbb C\mathbb P}\,\!^2, \omega)$ for some particular symplectic forms. It was observed by J. K\c{e}dra…

We consider two categories related to symplectic manifolds: 1. Objects are symplectic manifolds and morphisms are symplectic embeddings. 2. Objects are symplectic manifolds endowed with compatible almost complex structure and morphisms are…

In this paper we establish the existence of periodic orbits belonging to any $\sigma$-atoroidal free homotopy class for Hamiltonian systems in the twisted disc bundle, provided that the compactly supported time-dependent Hamiltonian…

We investigate the $C^0$-topology of the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of positive symplectic rational surfaces. For all but a few exceptions, we prove that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms forms a connected component in the…

In this paper, we characterize unitary representations of the fundamental group of a punctured sphere whose generators can be decomposed into products of two Lagrangian involutions. Our main result is that such representations are exactly…

For Hamiltonian flows we establish the existence of periodic orbits on a sequence of level sets approaching a Bott-nondegenerate symplectic extremum of the Hamiltonian. As a consequence, we show that a charge on a compact manifold with a…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact connected surface, $P$ be either the real line $\mathbb{R}$ or the circle $S^1$ and $f:M\to P$ be a Morse map. Denote by $\mathcal{S}(f)$ and $\mathcal{O}(f)$ the corresponding stabilizer and orbit of $f$ with…

In this paper we define a relative rigid fundamental group, which associates to a section $p$ of a smooth and proper morphism $f:X\rightarrow S$ in characteristic $p$, a Hopf algebra in the ind-category of overconvergent $F$-isocrystals on…
