The first part of this paper is a review of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture in various settings. In particular, we summarize how, given a pair (X,D) consisting of a Kahler manifold and an anticanonical divisor, families of special…
We show that the image of a dominant meromorphic map from an irreducible compact Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ whose general fiber is of dimension strictly between $0$ and $\dim X$ is rationally connected. Using this result, we construct for any…
In this paper we construct and classify Lagrangian T^3-fibrations on non compact symplectic manifolds with singular fibres of prescribed topological type. This contributes to the understanding of the structure of the singular fibres that…
We study Legendrian surfaces determined by cubic planar graphs. Graphs with distinct chromatic polynomials determine surfaces that are not Legendrian isotopic, thus giving many examples of non-isotopic Legendrian surfaces with the same…
This short and fairly informal note is an attempt to explain how methods of homological algebra may be brought to bear on problems in symplectic geometry. We do this by looking at a familiar sample question, which is that of the topology of…
We construct new special Lagrangian submanifolds in complex Euclidean space using a pair of minimal Legendrian submanifolds in odd-dimensional spheres and certain Lagrangian surface belonging to a family that can be considered as a…
Given a K3 surface S, we show that the relative intermediate Jacobian of the universal family of Fano 3-folds V containing S as an anticanonical divisor is a Lagrangian fibration. The proof uses variations of the mixed Hodge structure of…
In this paper, we prove some differentiable sphere theorems and topological sphere theorems for Lagrangian submanifolds in K\"ahler manifold and Legendrian submanifolds in Sasaki space form.
The $n$-dimensional complex hyperquadric is a compact complex algebraic hypersurface defined by the quadratic equation in the $(n+1)$-dimensional complex projective space, which is isometric to the real Grassmann manifold of oriented 2-…
We prove Gray & Wolf's conjecture that a Riemannian homogeneous manifold admitting a strict nearly Kahler structure is 3-symmetric. We actually classify them in dimension 6 and use previous results of Swann, Cleyton and Nagy to prove the…
We attempt to define a new invariant I of (almost) Calabi-Yau 3-folds M, by counting special Lagrangian rational homology 3-spheres N in M in each 3-homology class, with a certain weight w(N) depending on the topology of N. This is…
We prove that the only exact Lagrangian submanifolds in an ALE space are spheres. ALE spaces are the simply connected hyperkahler manifolds which at infinity look like C^2/G for any finite subgroup G of SL(2,C). They can be realized as the…
A rational Lagrangian fibration f on an irreducible symplecitc variety V is a rational map which is birationally equivalent to a regular surjective morphism with Lagrangian fibers. By analogy with K3 surfaces, it is natural to expect that a…
Let $M$ be a holomorphic symplectic K\"ahler manifold equipped with a Lagrangian fibration $\pi$ with compact fibers. The base of this manifold is equipped with a special K\"ahler structure, that is, a K\"ahler structure $(I, g, \omega)$…
Let X be a compact hyperk\"ahler manifold containing a complex torus L as a Lagrangian subvariety. Beauville posed the question whether X admits a Lagrangian fibration with fibre L. We show that this is indeed the case if X is not…
We address the study of some curvature equations for distinguished submanifolds in para-K\"ahler geometry. We first observe that a para-complex submanifold of a para-K\"ahler manifold is minimal. Next we describe the extrinsic geometry of…
We construct special Lagrangian submanifolds in collapsing Calabi-Yau 3-folds fibered by K3 surfaces. As these 3-folds collapse, the special Lagrangians shrink to 1-dimensional graphs in the base, mirroring the conjectured tropicalization…
Consider the complex linear space C^n endowed with the canonical pseudo-Hermitian form of signature (2p,2(n-p)). This yields both a pseudo-Riemannian and a symplectic structure on C^n. We prove that those submanifolds which are both…
Given a holomorphic Lagrangian fibration of a compact hyperkahler manifold, we use the differential geometry of the special Kahler metric that exists on the base away from the discriminant locus, and show that the pullback of the tangent…
A Gelfand-Cetlin system is a completely integrable system defined on a partial flag manifold whose image is a rational convex polytope called a Gelfand-Cetlin polytope. Motivated by the study of Nishinou-Nohara-Ueda on the Floer theory of…
