We study certain symplectic quotients of n-fold products of complex projective m-space by the unitary group acting diagonally. After studying nonemptiness and smoothness these quotients we construct the action-angle variables, defined on an…

We calculate the Riemann-Roch number of some of the pentagon spaces defined in [Klyachko,Kapovich-Millson,HK1]. Using this, we show that while the regular pentagon space is diffeomorphic to a toric variety, even symplectomorphic to one…

Let $(X,\omega_X)$ be a derived scheme with a 0-symplectic form and suppose there is a Hamiltonian $G$-action with a moment map for $G$ a reductive group. We prove, under no further assumptions, that symplectic reduction along any coadjoint…

For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the…

Let $(M, \omega)$ be a connected, compact 6-dimensional symplectic manifold equipped with a semi-free Hamiltonian $S^1$ action such that the fixed point set consists of isolated points or surfaces. Assume dim $H^2(M)<3$, in \cite{L}, we…

Let $K$ be a compact group. For a symplectic quotient $M_{\lambda}$ of a compact Hamiltonian K\"ahler $K$-manifold, we show that the induced complex structure on $M_{\lambda}$ is locally invariant when the parameter $\lambda$ varies in…

Let ${\cal O}$ be a quantizable coadjoint orbit of a semisimple Lie group $G$. Under certain hypotheses we prove that $#(\pi_1(\text{Ham}({\cal O})))\geq #(Z(G))$, where $\text{Ham}({\cal O})$ is the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms…

The space of smooth sections of a symplectic fiber bundle carries a natural symplectic structure. We provide a general framework to determine the momentum map for the action of the group of bundle automorphism on this space. Since, in…

For Hamiltonian flows we establish the existence of periodic orbits on a sequence of level sets approaching a Bott-nondegenerate symplectic extremum of the Hamiltonian. As a consequence, we show that a charge on a compact manifold with a…

We consider canonical symplectic structure on the moduli space of flat ${\g}$-connections on a Riemann surface of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points. For ${\g}$ being a semisimple Lie algebra we obtain an explicit efficient formula for this…

We introduce the notion of a symplectic hopfoid, which is a "groupoid-like" object in the category of symplectic manifolds where morphisms are given by canonical relations. Such groupoid-like objects arise when applying a version of the…

By decomposing the regular representation of a particular (Heisenberg-like) Lie supergroup into irreducible subspaces, we show that not all of them can be obtained by applying geometric quantization to coadjoint orbits with an even…

Let G be an n-dimensional semisimple compact and connected Lie group acting on both the Lie algebra g of G and its dual g*. We show that a nondegenerate Killing form of G induces an Ad*-equivariant isomorphism of g onto g* which, in turn,…

For a symplectic manifold $(M,\om)$ with exact symplectic form we construct a 2-cocycle on the group of symplectomorphisms and indicate cases when this cocycle is not trivial.

The special structures that arise in symplectic topology (particularly Gromov--Witten invariants and quantum homology) place as yet rather poorly understood restrictions on the topological properties of symplectomorphism groups. This…

We show that a small neighborhood of a closed symplectic submanifold in a geometrically bounded aspherical symplectic manifold has non-vanishing symplectic homology. As a consequence, we establish the existence of contractible closed…

We define a homomorphism from (a certain extension of) the fundamental group of the Hamiltonian automorphism group of a symplectic manifold to the group of invertibles in its quantum cohomology ring. The manifold must satify a technical…

In [GMPS] we proved that the moment map image of a $b$-symplectic toric manifold is a convex $b$-polytope. In this paper we obtain convexity results for the more general case of non-toric hamiltonian torus actions on $b$-symplectic…

In this article, we study the behavior of iterations of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic manifolds. We prove that symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms do not have $C^1$-recurrence on negatively…

We study deformations of symplectic structures on a smooth manifold $M$ via the quasi-Poisson theory. By a fact, we can deform a given symplectic structure $\omega $ to a new symplectic structure $\omega_t$ parametrized by some element $t$…
