We discuss a correspondence between certain contact pairs on the one hand, and certain locally conformally symplectic forms on the other. In particular, we characterize these structures through suspensions of contactomorphisms. If the…
In this paper, we study the blow-up of a locally conformal symplectic manifold.We show that there exists a locally conformal symplectic structure on the blow-up of a locally conformal symplectic manifold along a compact induced symplectic…
We investigate quantitative properties of exact locally conformally symplectic (LCS) manifolds, namely the homotheties of the Lee form that still produce an exact LCS form. This gives the notion of elasticity of an exact LCS pair. Using…
This paper introduces a new class of geometric structures in almost contact metric geometry, which we call locally conformal almost generalized $f$-cosymplectic manifolds. These are almost contact metric structures $(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$…
We prove one deformation theoretic extension of the Gromov non-squeezing phenomenon to $lcs$ structures, or locally conformally symplectic structures, which suitably generalize both symplectic and contact structures. We also conjecture an…
We study the geometry of manifolds carrying symplectic pairs consisting of two closed 2-forms of constant ranks, whose kernel foliations are complementary. Using a variation of the construction of Boothby and Wang we build…
Examples of nonformal simply connected symplectic manifolds are constructed.
Parabolic almost conformally symplectic structures were introduced in the first part of this series of articles as a class of geometric structures which have an underlying almost conformally symplectic structure. If this underlying…
We present a reduction procedure for locally conformally symplectic (LCS) manifolds with an action of a Lie group preserving the conformal structure, with respect to any regular value of the momentum mapping. Under certain conditions, this…
In this note we make several observations concerning symplectic cobordisms. Among other things we show that every contact 3-manifold has infinitely many concave symplectic fillings and that all overtwisted contact 3-manifolds are…
We present three equivalent definitions of $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology. We show that, using rational coefficients, the positive part of $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology is isomorphic to linearized contact homology, when the…
In this paper we analyze in detail a collection of motivating examples to consider $b^m$-symplectic forms and folded-type symplectic structures. In particular, we provide models in Celestial Mechanics for every $b^m$-symplectic structure.…
This short note provides a symplectic analogue of Vaisman's theorem in complex geometry. Namely, for any compact symplectic manifold satisfying the hard Lefschetz condition in degree 1, every locally conformally symplectic structure is in…
We provide examples of contact manifolds of any odd dimension $\geq 5$ which are not diffeomorphic but have exact symplectomorphic symplectizations.
Contact Geometry is an odd dimensional analogue of Symplectic Geometry. This vague idea can actually be formalized in a rather precise way by means of a Symplectic-to-Contact Dictionary. The aim of this review paper is discussing the basic…
We show that the pre-order defined on the category of contact manifolds by arbitrary symplectic cobordisms is considerably less rigid than its counterparts for exact or Stein cobordisms: in particular, we exhibit large new classes of…
In this note we show that a closed oriented contact manifold is obtained from the standard contact sphere of the same dimension by contact surgeries on isotropic and coisotropic spheres. In addition, we observe that all closed oriented…
In this paper we are interested in characterizing the standard contact sphere in terms of dynamically convex contact manifolds which admit a Liouville filling with vanishing symplectic homology. We first observe that if the filling is…
We obtain universal models for several types of locally conformal symplectic manifolds via pullback or reduction. The relation with recent embedding results for locally conformal K\"ahler manifolds is discussed.
We consider the existence of symplectic and conformal symplectic codimension-one foliations on closed manifolds of dimension at least 5. Our main theorem, based on a recent result by Bertelson-Meigniez, states that in dimension at least 7…
