For a smooth compact submanifold $K$ of a Riemannian manifold $Q$, its unit conormal bundle $\Lambda_K$ is a Legendrian submanifold of the unit cotangent bundle of $Q$ with a canonical contact structure. Using pseudo-holomorphic curve…

The symplectic cohomology of certain symplectic manifolds $W$ with non-compact ends modelled on the positive symplectization of a compact contact manifold $Y$ is shown to vanish whenever there is a positive loop of contactomorphisms of $Y$…

Let $M^n$ be a compact orientable smooth Riemannian submanifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ in $\mathbb R^d$. We construct a family of deformed Hodge Laplacians $\Delta_t^*$, $t>0$, acting on differential forms and defined through the extrinsic…

For a certain class of exotic contact manifolds of dimension greater than 3, we show that there is an abundance of closed exact Lagrangians in their symplectization. All of these Lagrangians are displaceable by Hamiltonian isotopy, and many…

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 prove an existence result for exact lagrangian cobordisms between closed legendrians.

The main purpose of the present paper is a study of orientations of the moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic discs with boundary lying on a \emph{real} Lagrangian submanifold, i.e., the fixed point set of an anti-symplectic involutions…

To investigate the rigidity and flexibility of Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds, we investigate the minimal length of such a cobordism, which is a $1$-dimensional measurement of the non-cylindrical portion of the…

Given a Lagrangian cobordism $L$ of Legendrian submanifolds from $\Lambda_-$ to $\Lambda_+$, we construct a functor $\Phi_L^*: Sh^c_{\Lambda_+}(M) \rightarrow Sh^c_{\Lambda_-}(M) \otimes_{C_{-*}(\Omega_*\Lambda_-)} C_{-*}(\Omega_*L)$…

Consider a pair $(X,L)$, of a Weinstein manifold $X$ with an exact Lagrangian submanifold $L$, with ideal contact boundary $(Y,\Lambda)$, where $Y$ is a contact manifold and $\Lambda\subset Y$ is a Legendrian submanifold. We introduce the…

In any contact manifold of dimension $2n-1\geq 11$, we construct examples of closed legendrian submanifolds which are not diffeomorphic but whose lagrangian cylinders in the symplectization are hamiltonian isotopic.

Given a closed orientable Lagrangian surface L in a closed symplectic four-manifold X together with a relative homology class d in H_2 (X, L; Z) with vanishing boundary in H_1 (L; Z), we prove that the algebraic number of J-holomorphic…

We study the topology of Lagrangian submanifolds in standard symplectic vector spaces $\mathbb{C}^n$ using ideas from open-closed string topology. Specifically, for a closed, oriented, spin Lagrangian $L$, we construct a (possibly curved)…

In an earlier paper, we showed that the moduli space of deformations of a smooth, compact, orientable special Lagrangian submanifold L in a symplectic manifold X with a non-integrable almost complex structure is a smooth manifold of…

We prove that the only exact Lagrangian submanifolds in an ALE space are spheres. ALE spaces are the simply connected hyperkahler manifolds which at infinity look like C^2/G for any finite subgroup G of SL(2,C). They can be realized as the…

We present an elementary computational scheme for the moduli spaces of rational pseudo-holomorphic curves in the symplectizations of 3-dimensional lens spaces, which are equipped with Morse-Bott contact forms induced by the standard…

In this paper, we present new obstructions to the existence of Lagrangian cobordisms in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that depend only on the enriched knot diagrams of the boundary knots or links, using holomorphic curve techniques. We define enriched…

We define the notion of special Lagrangian curvature, showing how it may be interpreted as an alternative higher dimensional generalisation of two dimensional Gaussian curvature. We obtain first a local rigidity result for this curvature…

We study the relation of an embedded Lagrangian cobordism between two closed, orientable Legendrian submanifolds of R^{2n+1}. More precisely, we investigate the behavior of the Thurston-Bennequin number and (linearized) Legendrian contact…

We prove that (under appropriate orientation conditions, depending on $R$) a Hamiltonian isotopy $\psi^1$ of a symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ fixing a relatively exact Lagrangian $L$ setwise must act trivially on $R_*(L)$, where $R_*$ is…
