We define 2-calibrated structures, which are analogs of symplectic structures in odd dimensions. We show the existence of differential topological constructions compatible with the structure.

We prove that the length of the boundary of a $J$-holomorphic curve with Lagrangian boundary conditions is dominated by a constant times its area. The constant depends on the symplectic form, the almost complex structure, the Lagrangian…

Given a smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifold X and alpha in H_2(X,Z) such that alpha.alpha > 0, a closed 2-form w is constructed, Poincare dual to alpha, which is symplectic on the complement of a finite set of unknotted circles. The number…

We prove that pseudoholomorphic curves intersect complex 2-cycles positively in almost complex 4-manifolds. This makes possible a general and conceptually simple proof that an almost complex 4-manifold with many curves admits a taming…

We obtain structure results for locally conformally symplectic Lie algebras. We classify locally conformally symplectic structures on four-dimensional Lie algebras and construct locally conformally symplectic structures on compact quotients…

We prove that a holomorphic line bundle on a projective manifold is pseudo-effective if and only if its degree on any member of a covering family of curves is non-negative. This is a consequence of a duality statement between the cone of…

An \emph{$\omega$-admissible almost complex structure} on a $2n$-dimensional symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ is a $\omega$-calibrated almost complex structure $J$ admitting a nowhere vanishing $\bar{\partial}_J$-closed $(n,0)$-form $\psi$.…

Symplectic and Poisson structures of certain moduli spaces/Huebschmann,J./ Abstract: Let $\pi$ be the fundamental group of a closed surface and $G$ a Lie group with a biinvariant metric, not necessarily positive definite. It is shown that a…

Given two four-dimensional symplectic manifolds, together with knots in their boundaries, we define an ``anchored symplectic embedding'' to be a symplectic embedding, together with a two-dimensional symplectic cobordism between the knots…

We prove the Conley conjecture for negative monotone, closed symplectic manifolds, i.e., the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of such manifolds.

We give a generalization of the concept of near-symplectic structures to 2n dimensions. According to our definition, a closed 2-form \omega on a 2n-manifold M is near-symplectic, if it is symplectic outside a submanifold Z of codimension 3,…

Given a symplectic class $[\omega]$ on a four torus $T^4$ (or a $K3$ surface), a folklore problem in symplectic geometry is whether symplectic forms in $[\omega]$ are isotropic to each other. We introduce a family of nonlinear Hodge heat…
