We study generators of the fundamental group of the group of symplectomorphisms $\mathrm{Symp}({\mathbb C\mathbb P}^2\#\,5\overline{\mathbb C\mathbb P}\,\!^2, \omega)$ for some particular symplectic forms. It was observed by J. K\c{e}dra…

A flat complex vector bundle (E,D) on a compact Riemannian manifold (X,g) is stable (resp. polystable) in the sense of Corlette [C] if it has no D-invariant subbundle (resp. if it is the D-invariant direct sum of stable subbundles). It has…

We obtain estimates showing that on monotone symplectic manifolds (asymptotic) spectral invariants of Hamiltonians which vanish on a non-empty open set, U, descend to Ham_c(M\setminus U) from its universal cover. Furthermore, we show these…

We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…

Let $M$ be a locally symmetric irreducible closed manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. A result of Borel [Bo] combined with Mostow rigidity imply that there exists a finite group $G = G(M)$ such that any finite subgroup of $\text{Homeo}^+(M)$ is…

The group Hameo (M,\omega) of Hamiltonian homeomorphisms of a connected symplectic manifold (M,\omega) was defined and studied in [7] and further in [6]. In these papers, the authors consistently used the L^{(1,\infty)}-Hofer norm (and not…

The ``Flux conjecture'' for symplectic manifolds states that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is C^1-closed in the group of all symplectic diffeomorphisms. We prove the conjecture for spherically rational manifolds and for those…

In this paper we first apply the chain level Floer theory to the study of Hofer's geometry of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group in the cases without quantum contribution: we prove that any quasi-autonomous Hamiltonian path on weakly exact…

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group H on a compact symplectic manifold (M,w) and let G be a subgroup of the diffeomorphism group Diff(M). We develop techniques to decide when the maps on rational homotopy and rational…

We prove that if $G\subset\text{Diff}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ is an Abelian subgroup generated by a family of commuting diffeomorphisms of the plane, all of which are $C^{1}$-close to the identity in the strong $C^{1}$-topology, and if there…

When a complex semisimple group $G$ acts holomorphically on a K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$ such that a maximal compact subgroup $K\subset G$ preserves the symplectic form $\omega$, a basic result of symplectic geometry says that the…

Let $M$ be a compact orientable surface equipped with a volume form $\omega$, $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$, $f:M\to P$ be a $C^{\infty}$ Morse map, and $H$ be the Hamiltonian vector field of $f$ with respect to $\omega$. Let also…

Let G be a group of automorphisms of a compact K\"ahler manifold X of dimension n and N(G) the subset of null-entropy elements. Suppose G admits no non-abelian free subgroup. Improving the known Tits alternative, we obtain that, up to…

In this paper we describe a method to establish when a symplectic manifold $M$ with semi-free Hamiltonian $S^{1}$-action is unique up to isomorphism (equivariant symplectomorphism). This will rely on a study of the symplectic topology of…

Given a germ of biholomorphism $F\in\mathrm{Diff}(\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ with a formal invariant curve $\Gamma$ such that the multiplier of the restricted formal diffeomorphism $F|_\Gamma$ is a root of unity or satisfies $|(F|_\Gamma)'(0)|<1$, we…

We prove the following rigidity result for the Tonelli Hamiltonians. Let T * M be the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold M endowed with its usual symplectic form. Let (F\_n) be a sequence of Tonelli Hamiltonians that C^0 converges on the…

Let $M$ be a closed, connected, orientable topological four-manifold with $H_1(M)$ nontrivial and free abelian, $b_2(M)\ne 0, 2$, and $\chi(M)\ne 0$. We show that if $G$ is a finite group of 2-rank $\le 1$ which admits a homologically…

We show that for any positive integer $k$ there exists a closed symplectic $4$-manifold, such that the rank of the fundamental group of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is at least $k.$

Stefan M$\ddot{\mathrm{u}}$ller posed the problem "Do Hofer's metrics on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism and the one of Hamiltonian homeomorphisms (Hameomorphisms) correspond?". Let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact exact symplectic…

We prove that the existence of a positively defined, invariant Einstein metric $m$ on a connected homogeneous space $G/H$ of a compact Lie group $G$ is the consequence of non-contractibility of some compact set $C=X_{G,H}^{\Sigma}$ (B\"ohm…
