We show, under an orientation hypothesis, that a log symplectic manifold with simple normal crossing singularities has a stable almost complex structure, and hence is Spin$_c$. In the compact Hamiltonian case we prove that the index of the…

We establish a connection between Gromov-Witten invariants and the number of fixed points of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on a closed rational symplectic manifold via deformed Hamiltonian spectral invariants. We generalize Givental's…

A taming symplectic structure provides an upper bound on the area of an approximately pseudoholomorphic curve in terms of its homology class. We prove that, conversely, an almost complex manifold with such an area bound admits a taming…

In this note we study the behavior of symplectic cohomology groups under symplectic deformations. Moreover, we show that for compact almost-K\"ahler manifolds $(X,J,g,\omega)$ with $J$ $\mathcal{C}^\infty$-pure and full the space of de Rham…

We take the first steps to develop Conley-Zehnder Theory, as conjectured by Arnold, in the world of probability. As far as we know, this paper provides the first probabilistic theorems about the density of fixed points of symplectic twist…

We show that the minimal symplectic area of Lagrangian submanifolds are universally bounded in symplectically aspherical domains with vanishing symplectic cohomology. If an exact domain admits a $k$-semi-dilation, then the minimal…

We consider exact fillings with vanishing first Chern class of asymptotically dynamically convex (ADC) manifolds. We construct two structure maps on the positive symplectic cohomology and prove that they are independent of the filling for…

This paper introduces techniques of symplectic topology to the study of homoclinic orbits in Hamiltonian systems. The main result is a strong generalization of homoclinic existence results due to Sere and to Coti-Zelati, Ekeland and Sere,…

Let M be a closed oriented smooth 4-manifold admitting symplectic structures. If M is minimal and has b^+=1, we prove that there is a unique symplectic canonical class up to sign, and any real second cohomology class of positive square is…

In this paper, we prove that there exist at least $n$ geometrically distinct brake orbits on every $C^2$ compact convex symmetric hypersurface $\Sg$ in $\R^{2n}$ satisfying the reversible condition $N\Sg=\Sg$ with $N=\diag (-I_n,I_n)$. As a…

Using methods from symplectic topology, we prove existence of invariant variational measures associated to the flow $\phi_H$ of a Hamiltonian $H\in C^{\infty}(M)$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. These measures coincide with Mather…

Let $S^1$ act on a symplectic manifold in a Hamiltonian fashion with momentum map $\Psi$. Fix a value $a$ of $\Psi$. There is a question of whether the symplectic quotient at $a$ is diffeomorphic to the orbit space of some proper Lie group…

We prove the Arnold conjecture for closed symplectic manifolds with $\pi_2(M)=0$ and $\cat M=\dim M$. Furthermore, we prove an analog of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann theorem for functions with ``generalized hyperbolicity'' property.
