We give an elementary construction of symplectic connections through reduction. This provides an elegant description of a class of symmetric spaces and gives examples of symplectic connections with Ricci type curvature, which are not…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the definition of symplectic structure on a smooth stratified pseudomanifold in the framework of local $\C^{\infty}$-ringed space theory. We introduce a sheaf-theoretic definition of symplectic…
A new type of sectional curvature is introduced. The notion is purely algebraic and can be located in linear algebra as well as in differential geometry.
We study the relations between the projective and the almost conformally symplectic structures on a smooth even dimensional manifold. We describe these relations by a single almost conformally symplectic connection with totally trace--free…
We survey the progress on the study of symplectic geometry past five decades. The survey focuses on the convexity properties of a moment map, the classification of symplectic actions, the symplectic embedding problems, and the theory of…
The Fedosov deformation quantization on a cotangent bundle with a symplectic connection induced by some linear symmetric connection on the base space is considered. A global construction of the symplectic homogeneous connection on the…
A famous result of Jurgen Moser states that a symplectic form on a compact manifold cannot be deformed within its cohomology class to an inequivalent symplectic form. It is well known that this does not hold in general for noncompact…
An identity of conformal-projective curvature tensor of a statistical manifold is studied in this paper. The relation between the constancy of curvature and conformal-projective flatness of statistical manifolds is also discussed.
The notion of special symplectic connections is closely related to contact parabolic geometries due to the work of M. Cahen and L. Schwachh\"ofer. We remind their characterization and reinterpret the result in terms of generalized Weyl…
For a Fedosov manifold (symplectic manifold equipped with a symplectic torsion-free affine connection $\nabla$) admitting a metaplectic structure, we shall investigate two sequences of first order differential operators acting on sections…
This is a survey article on symplectically aspherical manifolds. The paper contains a discussion on constructions of symplectically aspherical manifolds, their topological properties and the role of this class in symplectic topology.…
In this note we make several observations concerning symplectic fillings. In particular we show that a (strongly or weakly) semi-fillable contact structure is fillable and any filling embeds as a symplectic domain in a closed symplectic…
We study the notion of symplectic scalar curvature on the supermanifold over an ordinary Fedosov manifold whose structural sheaf is that of differential forms. In this purely geometric context, we introduce two families of odd super-Fedosov…
We present a detailed study of the curvature and symplectic asphericity properties of symmetric products of surfaces. We show that these spaces can be used to answer nuanced questions arising in the study of closed Riemannian manifolds with…
Previously work of the author with Meier and Starkston showed that every closed symplectic manifold $(X,\omega)$ with a rational symplectic form admits a trisection compatible with the symplectic topology. In this paper, we describe the…
We continue studying a parabolic flow of almost K\"{a}hler structures introduced by Streets and Tian which naturally extends K\"{a}hler-Ricci flow onto symplectic manifolds. In the system of primarily the symplectic form, almost complex…
In this article, we study and analyze the \phi-sectional curvature induced by a statistical structure on an almost contact metric manifold. We demonstrate that this sectional curvature is always non-positive. Additionally, we present…
We consider the motion by mean curvature of an $n$-dimensional graph over a time-dependent domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, intersecting $\mathbb{R}^n$ at a constant angle. In the general case, we prove local existence for the corresponding…
In this paper we introduce two new notions of sectional curvature for Riemannian manifolds with density. Under both notions of curvature we classify the constant curvature manifolds. We also prove generalizations of the theorems of…
Discretizations of the mean curvature and extrinsic curvature components are constructed on piecewise flat simplicial manifolds, giving approximations for smooth curvature values in a mostly mesh-independent way. These constructions are…
