We investigate the uniqueness of so-called exotic structures on certain exact symplectic manifolds by looking at how their symplectic properties change under small nonexact deformations of the symplectic form. This allows us to distinguish…

The symplectization of an overtwisted contact structure in Euclidean 3--space is shown to be an exotic symplectic structure on Euclidean 4--space. The technique can be extended to produce exotic symplectic structures in higher dimensional…

We construct examples of simply connected nonalgebraic symplectic fourfolds with a prescribed number of nonintersecting symplectic curves with positive self-intersections.

We study the action of the symplectic group on pairs of a vector and a flag. Considering the irreducible components of the conormal variety, we obtain an exotic analogue of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence. Conjecturally, the resulting…

In this note, the geography problem in dimension four is reviewed and then its extension to dimension six for the symplectic case is explained. Finally some examples in dimension six are provided.

We study the examples mentioned in [2,Tables A & C] and establish the arithmeticity of four examples of symplectic hypergeometric groups of degree six. Following [2] we know that there are 458 inequivalent symplectic hypergeometric groups…

We introduce a variant of contact homology for convex open contact manifolds. As an application, we prove the existence of (in fact, infinitely many) exotic tight contact structures on $\mathbb{R}^{2n-1}$ for all $n>2$.

We analyze symplectic forms on six dimensional real solvable and non-nilpotent Lie algebras. More precisely, we obtain all those algebras endowed with a symplectic form that decompose as the direct sum of two ideals or are indecomposable…

We classify nilmanifolds with an invariant symplectic half-flat structure. We solve the half-flat evolution equations in one example, writing down the resulting Ricci-flat metric. We study the geometry of the orbit space of 6-manifolds with…

We give examples of symplectic diffeomorphisms of R^6 for which the origin is a non-resonant elliptic fixed point which attracts an orbit.

We recall the main facts about the odd Laplacian acting on half-densities on an odd symplectic manifold and discuss a homological interpretation for it suggested recently by P. {\v{S}}evera. We study the relationship of odd symplectic…

Let $M$ be $\CP#2\CPb$, $3\CP#4\CPb$ or $(2n-1)\CP#2n\CPb$ for any integer $n\geq 3$. We construct an irreducible symplectic 4-manifold homeomorphic to $M$ and also an infinite family of pairwise non-diffeomorphic irreducible non-symplectic…

By an exotic algebraic structure on the affine space ${\bf C}^n$ we mean a smooth affine algebraic variety which is diffeomorphic to ${\bf R}^{2n}$ but not isomorphic to ${\bf C}^n$. This is a survey of the recent developement on the…

On a symplectic manifold, there is a natural elliptic complex replacing the de Rham complex. It can be coupled to a vector bundle with connection and, when the curvature of this connection is constrained to be a multiple of the symplectic…

We construct a symplectic structure on a disc that admits a compactly supported symplectomorphism which is not smoothly isotopic to the identity. The symplectic structure has an overtwisted concave end; the construction of the…

For a broad class of symplectic manifolds of dimension at least six, we find the following new phenomenon: there exist local exotic Lagrangian tori. More specifically, let $X$ be a geometrically bounded symplectic manifold of dimension at…

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be the unit disc in $\mathbb{C}$, then $\mathbb{D}^n(r)$ is the complex or symplectic $n$-discs of radius $r$. Let $z_j = x_j+iy_j\in\mathbb{C}, j=1,2$ and $\mathbb{D}_{\mathbb{R}}^2=\{(z_1,z_2) :…

We prove that any ample class on a primitive symplectic variety that is locally trivial deformation of O'Grady's singular 6 dimensional example is proportional to the first Chern class of a uniruled divisor. This result answers a question…

Extension of symplectic geometry on manifolds to the supersymmetric case is considered. In the even case it leads to the even symplectic geometry (or, equivalently, to the geometry on supermanifolds endowed with a non-degenerate Poisson…

We show there is a class of symplectic Lie algebra representations over any field of characteristic not 2 or 3 that have many of the exceptional algebraic and geometric properties of both symmetric three forms in two dimensions and…
