We give examples of compact symplectic manifolds with disconnected contact type boundary in dimension $4n$ for any $n\geq 1$. The example is given by a subset of the tangent bundle of a compact quotient of the complex hyperbolic space…
We develop a Hamiltonian theory for 2D soliton equations. In particular, we identify the spaces of doubly periodic operators on which a full hierarchy of commuting flows can be introduced, and show that these flows are Hamiltonian with…
We provide examples of contact manifolds of any odd dimension $\geq 5$ which are not diffeomorphic but have exact symplectomorphic symplectizations.
We complete the list of normal forms for effective 3-forms with constant coefficients with respect to the natural action of symplectomorphisms in \mathbb{R}^6. We show that the 3-form which corresponds to the Special Lagrangian equation is…
Every metric symplectic Lie algebra has the structure of a quadratic extension. We give a standard model and describe the equivalence classes on the level of corresponding quadratic cohomology sets. Finally, we give a scheme to classify the…
It is a review of some results in Odd symplectic geometry related to the Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism
This invited contribution summarizes some of the more important aspects of exotics. We review theoretical expectations for exotic and nonexotic hybrid mesons, and briefly discuss the leading experimental candidate for an exotic, the…
We give a self-contained algebraic description of a formal symplectic groupoid over a Poisson manifold M. To each natural star product on M we then associate a canonical formal symplectic groupoid over M. Finally, we construct a unique…
We construct infinitely many Legendrian links in the standard contact $\mathbb{R}^3$ with arbitrarily many topologically distinct Lagrangian fillings. The construction is used to find links in $S^3$ that bound topologically distinct pieces…
In this paper, we give a complete classification of symplectic structures on six-dimensional Frobeniusian solvable Lie algebras, up to symplectomorphism. We provide a scheme to classify the isomorphism classes of six-dimensional…
We show that, for certain families $\phi_{\mathbf{s}}$ of diffeomorphisms of high-dimensional spheres, the commutator of the Dehn twist along the zero-section of $T^*S^n$ with the family of pullbacks $\phi^*_{\mathbf{s}}$ gives a…
We prove the uniqueness, up to diffeomorphism, of symplectically aspherical fillings of the unit cotangent bundle of odd-dimensional spheres. As applications, we first show the non-existence of exact symplectic cobordisms between some…
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 study O'Grady examples of irreducible symplectic varieties: we establish that both of them can be deformed into lagrangian fibrations. We analyse in detail the topology of the six dimensional example: in particular we compute its Euler…
We extend the results of spin ladder models associated with the Lie algebras $su(2^n)$ to the case of the orthogonal and symplectic algebras $o(2^n),\ sp(2^n)$ where n is the number of legs for the system. Two classes of models are found…
The problem of possible astrophysical consequences of the existence of exotic differential structures on manifolds is discussed. It is argued that corrections to the curvature of the form of a source like terms should be expected in the…
We study the orthogonal projections of symplectic balls in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ on complex subspaces. In particular we show that these projections are themselves symplectic balls under a certain complexity assumption. Our main result is a…
We construct exotic copies of $\mathbb{R}^4$ with nontrivial compactly supported mapping class groups of arbitrarily large rank. This follows from a modification of the construction of the diffeomorphism corks of arXiv:2407.04696 that makes…
We describe an explicit symplectic resolution for the quotient singularity arising from the four-dimensional symplectic represenation of the binary tetrahedral group.
This note provides a counterexample to a proposition stated in [J. Differ. Equ. 261.4 (2016) 2528--2551] regarding the neighborhood of certain $4\times 4$ symplectic matrices.
