For any arbitrary algebraic curve, we define an infinite sequence of invariants. We study their properties, in particular their variation under a variation of the curve, and their modular properties. We also study their limits when the…
An integral product Lagrangian torus in the standard symplectic $\mathbb{C}^2$ is defined to be a subset $\{ \pi|z_1|^2 = k, \, \pi|z_2|^2 =l \}$ with $k,l \in \mathbb{N}$. Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the union of all integral product Lagrangian…
Given a symplectomorphism f of a symplectic manifold X, one can form the `symplectic mapping cylinder' $X_f = (X \times R \times S^1)/Z$ where the Z action is generated by $(x,s,t)\mapsto (f(x),s+1,t)$. In this paper we compute the Gromov…
Discrete Lagrangian Systems on graphs are considered. Vector-valued closed differential 2-form on the space of solutions is constructed. This form takes values in the first homology group of the graph. This construction generalizes the…
We give a construction of the Floer homology of the pair of {\it non-compact} Lagrangian submanifolds, which satisfies natural continuity property under the Hamiltonian isotopy which moves the infinity but leaves the intersection set of the…
We use the "pearl" machinery in our previous work to study certain enumerative invariants associated to monotone Lagrangian submanifolds.
We consider moduli spaces of cyclic configurations of $N$ lines in a $2n$-dimensional symplectic vector space, such that every set of $n$ consecutive lines generates a Lagrangian subspace. We study geometric and combinatorial problems…
Curves in Lagrange Grassmannians naturally appear when one studies intrinsically "the Jacobi equations for extremals", associated with control systems and geometric structures. In this way one reduces the problem of construction of the…
The structure functions of the Lagrangian gauge algebra are given explicitly in terms of the hamiltonian constraints and the first order Hamiltonian structure functions and their derivatives.
We introduce a holomorphic version of Weinstein's symplectic category, in which objects are holomorphic symplectic manifolds, and morphisms are holomorphic lagrangian correspondences. We then extend this category to log schemes, and prove…
In this article, we consider the Floer cohomology (with $\Z_2$ coefficients) between torus fibers and the real Lagrangian in Fano toric manifolds. We first investigate the conditions under which the Floer cohomology is defined, and then…
Given a closed orientable surface (\Sigma) of genus at least two, we establish an affine isomorphism between the convex compact set of isotopy-invariant topological measures on (\Sigma) and the convex compact set of additive functions on…
Lagrangian properties obtained from a Particle Tracking Velocimetry experiment in a turbulent flow at intermediate Reynolds number are presented. Accurate sampling of particle trajectories is essential in order to obtain the Lagrangian…
In this paper we study, from a variational and geometrical point of view, second-order variational problems on Lie groupoids and the construction of variational integrators for optimal control problems. First, we develop variational…
In a pair of papers, we construct invariants for smooth four-manifolds equipped with `broken fibrations' - the singular Lefschetz fibrations of Auroux, Donaldson and Katzarkov - generalising the Donaldson-Smith invariants for Lefschetz…
We describe an operation which modifies a Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in a symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ such as to produce a new immersed Lagrangian submanifold $L'$, which as a smooth manifold is obtained by surgery along a framed…
This paper develops a symplectic bifurcation theory for integrable systems in dimension four. We prove that if an integrable system has no hyperbolic singularities and its bifurcation diagram has no vertical tangencies, then the fibers of…
We give an overview of various recent results concerning the topology of symplectic 4-manifolds and singular plane curves, using branched covers and isotopy problems as a unifying theme. While this paper does not contain any new results, we…
We define relative Ruan invariants that count embedded connected symplectic submanifolds which contact a fixed stable symplectic hypersurface V in a symplectic 4-manifold (X,w) at prescribed points with prescribed contact orders (in…
This text is a set of lecture notes for a series of four talks given at I.P.A.M., Los Angeles, on March 18-20, 2003. The first lecture provides a quick overview of symplectic topology and its main tools: symplectic manifolds, almost-complex…
