Based on the Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups $H_{EL}^{(2k-1)}({\cal M}^{2n}) (1 \leqslant k\leqslant n)$ on symplectic manifold $({\cal M}^{2n}, \omega)$, their properties and a kind of classification of vector fields on the manifold, we…

Let $M$ be a compact orientable surface equipped with a volume form $\omega$, $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$, $f:M\to P$ be a $C^{\infty}$ Morse map, and $H$ be the Hamiltonian vector field of $f$ with respect to $\omega$. Let also…

In this article, we study Sobolev homeomorphisms and composition operators on homogeneous Lie groups. We prove that a measurable homeomorphism $\varphi: \Omega \to\widetilde{\Omega}$ belongs to the Sobolev space $L^{1}_{q}(\Omega;…

In this paper we describe a method to establish when a symplectic manifold $M$ with semi-free Hamiltonian $S^{1}$-action is unique up to isomorphism (equivariant symplectomorphism). This will rely on a study of the symplectic topology of…

For a smooth map $f:X^4\to\Sigma^2$ that is locally modeled by holomorphic maps, the domain is shown to admit a symplectic structure that is symplectic on some regular fiber, if and only if $f^*[\Sigma]\ne0$. If so, the space of symplectic…

If $\eta$ is a contact form on a manifold $M$ such that the orbits of the Reeb vector field form a simple foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on $M$, then the presymplectic 2-form $d\eta$ on $M$ induces a symplectic structure $\omega$ on the quotient…

The basic mathematical assumptions for autonomous linear kinetic equations for a classical system are formulated, leading to the conclusion that if they are differential equations on its phase space $M$, they are at most of the 2nd order.…

We provide a presymplectic characterization of Liouville sectors introduced by Ganatra-Pardon-Shende in terms of the characteristic foliation of the boundary, which we call Liouville $\sigma$-sectors. We extend this definition to the case…

We study the quantum mechanical Liouville model with attractive potential which is obtained by Hamiltonian symmetry reduction from the system of a free particle on $SL(2, \Real)$. The classical reduced system consists of a pair of Liouville…

Let $(M, \omega)$ be a connected, compact 6-dimensional symplectic manifold equipped with a semi-free Hamiltonian $S^1$ action such that the fixed point set consists of isolated points or surfaces. Assume dim $H^2(M)<3$, in \cite{L}, we…

Liouville's theorem -- the preservation of phase-space volume -- is often presented as a corollary of Hamilton's canonical equations. Here we adopt an ensemble-first viewpoint in which the starting point is local probability conservation on…

We prove, in a geometric way, that the standard contact structure on the real projective space of dimension $2n-1$ is not Liouville fillable for $n \ge 3$ and odd. We also prove that, for all $n$, semipositive fillings of those contact…

We study the relation between two versions of symplectic cohomology associated to a Liouville domain $D$ embedded in a symplectic manifold $M$: the ambient version $SC^*_M(D)$ defined over the Novikov field and depending on the embedding,…

We introduce a class of combinatorial singularities of Lagrangian skeleta of symplectic manifolds. The link of each singularity is a finite regular cell complex homotopy equivalent to a bouquet of spheres. It is determined by its face poset…

It is shown that the action for Hamiltonian equations of motion can be brought into invariant symplectic form. In other words, it can be formulated directly in terms of the symplectic structure $\omega$ without any need to choose some…

Let $\Omega$ be a non-singular syplectic form on some vector space $V$. Denote by $S^{n}_{k}(\Omega)$ the set of all $k$-dimensional planes $s$ in $V$ such that the restriction of $\Omega$ onto $s$ is singular. For the cases when $k=2,n-2$…

For any Lie group $G$, we construct a $G$-equivariant analogue of symplectic capacities and give examples when $G = \mathbb{T}^k\times\mathbb{R}^{d-k}$, in which case the capacity is an invariant of integrable systems. Then we study the…

This survey paper addresses uniqueness questions for symplectic forms on closed manifolds, explains what is known in several examples, and reviews some open problems.

This survey presents some recent results by the authors and Polterovich on the topological properties of ruled symplectic manifolds. The bundle M \to P \to B that is associated with a ruled manifold has the group of Hamiltonian…

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…
