Here we study several questions concerning Liouville domains that are diffeomorphic to cylinders, so called trivial bi-fillings, for which the Liouville skeleton moreover is smooth and of codimension one; we also propose the notion of a…
Previous work in the literature has studied the Hamiltonian structure of an R-squared model of gravity with torsion in a closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. Within the framework of Dirac's theory, torsion is found to lead to a…
We analyse holomorphic discs on Lagrangian SU(2)-orbits in a family of quasihomogeneous threefolds of SL(2, C), previously studied by Evans-Lekili, introducing several techniques that should be applicable to wider classes of homogeneous…
Let M be a smooth, simply-connected, closed oriented manifold, and LM the free loop space of M. Using a Poincare duality model for M, we show that the reduced equivariant homology of LM has the structure of a Lie bialgebra, and we construct…
We introduce new finite-dimensional cohomologies on symplectic manifolds. Each exhibits Lefschetz decomposition and contains a unique harmonic representative within each class. Associated with each cohomology is a primitive cohomology…
We derive constraints on Lagrangian embeddings in completions of certain stable symplectic fillings with semisimple symplectic cohomologies. Manifolds with these properties can be constructed by generalizing the boundary connected sum…
We construct an example of a non-trivial homogeneous quasimorphism on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the two and four dimensional quadric hypersurfaces which is continuous with respect to both the $C^0$-metric and the Hofer…
We study the cohomology of the free loop space of $SU(n+1)/T^n$, the simplest example of a complete flag manifolds and an important homogeneous space. Through this enhanced analysis we reveal rich new combinatorial structures arising in the…
For a certain class of exotic contact manifolds of dimension greater than 3, we show that there is an abundance of closed exact Lagrangians in their symplectization. All of these Lagrangians are displaceable by Hamiltonian isotopy, and many…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring spectrum. We construct the wrapped Donaldson--Fukaya category with coefficients in $R$ of any stably polarized Liouville sector. We show that any two $R$-orientable and isomorphic objects admit $R$-orientations…
We examine 4-dimensional string backgrounds compactified over a two torus. There exist two alternative effective Lagrangians containing each two $SL(2)/U(1)$ sigma-models. Two of these sigma-models are the complex and the K\"ahler…
Let G be a real Lie group and H a lattice or, more generally, a closed subgroup of finite covolume in G. We show that the unitary representation lambda_{G/H} of G on L^2(G/H) has a spectral gap, that is, the restriction of lambda_{G/H} to…
We compute the classical and quantum cohomology rings of the twistor spaces of 6-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds and the eigenvalues of quantum multiplication by the first Chern class. Given a half-dimensional totally geodesic submanifold…
We give a construction of an L-infinity map from any L-infinity algebra into its truncated Chevalley-Eilenberg complex as well as its cyclic and A-infinity analogues. This map fits with the inclusion into the full Chevalley-Eilenberg…
We develop a suitable generalization of Almgren's theory of varifolds in a lorentzian setting, focusing on area, first variation, rectifiability, compactness and closure issues. Motivated by the asymptotic behaviour of the scaled hyperbolic…
The main theorem of this paper asserts that the inclusion of the space of projective Lagrangian planes into the space of Lagrangian submanifolds of complex projective space induces an injective homomorphism of fundamental groups. We…
In [1] we initiated an approach towards quantizing the Hamiltonian constraint in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) by requiring that it generates an anomaly-free representation of constraint algebra off-shell. We investigated this issue in the…
We show: the Floer homology over the Novikov ring of (nonexact!) rational Lagrangians in an (nonexact!) integral symplectic manifold can be computed in terms of exact Lagrangians in an exact filling of the prequantization bundle. As a…
We show that a if a Riemannian manifold admits a universal cover with bounded geometry and if 0 does not belong to the spectrum or is an isolated point in the spectrum of the Laplacian on $\ell$-forms, then there exists $1<p<2$ such that…
In this paper we describe the cohomogeneity one special Lagrangian 3-folds in the cotangent bundle of the 3-sphere, also known in the physics literature as a deformed conifold. Our main result gives a global foliation of the deformed…
